Synths, Sax and Situationists
At the dawn of the '70s, in a country still reeling from the aftershocks of World War 2, an underground movement of rock musicians resolved to tear it all up and start again. Welcome to France, 1968. Music fans in the English-speaking world are well-versed in the parallel Krautrock scene that sprung up across the border in Germany, but they are almost totally unaware of the French musical underground. There the radicalism of May '68 collided with the counterculture, post-psychedelic rock, and free-jazz to produce some of the most distinctive and vital music made anywhere in the '70s. Synths, Sax & Situationists tells the story of more famous bands like Magma, Etron Fou Leloublan, and Gong alongside almost-forgotten groups like Cheval Fou, Fille Qui Mousse, and Barricade.
Here Beside the Rising Tide
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A kaleidoscopic history of the Grateful Dead that explores the American counterculture through the life of iconoclastic frontman Jerry Garcia, and his merry band "By writing this book, Jim Newton informs the rest of the world what Deadheads have known for years: that Jerry Garcia was more than a world-class musician, he was an American icon."--Trixie Garcia In 1965, in Palo Alto, Jerry Garcia opened a dictionary to a fable in which an appreciative soul repays the generosity of a traveler, a "gift of the grateful dead." After a traumatic car accident that injured him and killed a close friend, Garcia had resolved to build his life around music. He had practiced relentlessly and caromed across the northern California folk and bluegrass scene. He had gathered up some fellow musicians and formed a band. Now they had their name. Following the history of the Grateful Dead means tracking American cultural history through a period of radical reconsideration. The Dead played at the Acid Tests and the Human Be-In and Woodstock, at the occupation of Columbia and the Bail Ball for People's Park. They performed at the base of the Pyramids during a lunar eclipse, at Madison Square Garden to defend the rainforests, in San Francisco to sound the alarm over AIDS and at Huey Newton's birthday party. For three decades, the band explored the meaning and limits of freedom. The radical message of the Dead, to reject the mainstream and build a bohemian community, radiated across the world, manifesting itself in art, music, business, and politics. Here Beside the Rising Tide tells the story of those disparate shafts of light, putting Garcia into a broader context while tracing his eventful life. Nearly a century after his birth, Garcia's influence stretches onward, expressed in guitar licks and a gentle way of life, one of excellence and gratitude, chasing freedom, living moment to moment, guided by song--the gift of the Grateful Dead.

Information Lives In DIY Music
Within the last decade, the heritage of music subcultures has been a focus of exhibitions, programming, and collecting initiatives undertaken by national institutions including the British Library and Museum of London. These activities have succeeded in attracting large audience numbers and diversifying museum visitor profiles, cementing the position of popular music within museum holdings. However, as museums profit from representation of these histories, grassroots music communities actively struggle to survive in the face of issues, including the regular closure of music venues, the impact of gentrification and the housing crisis, cuts to cultural funding, and the declining value of recorded music in the streaming era.Beginning within these communities at this point of crisis, Information Lives in DIY Music examines the role of information and heritage in UK-based DIY music communities through the framework of critical information studies. The first part of the book explores the impact of institutional historicisation and archiving on DIY music community members, then proceeds to identify and examine the grassroots information and archival practices which underpin these communities. Finally, the book considers how information and records created by currently active communities are affected by socioeconomic, cultural and technological developments in the 21 st century.

The Safari Mitzi Collection
Carolyn and I have been writing songs since 1997. Our first song was "SafariMitzi." Over the years, we've gained a wealth of musical knowledge and expertise fromarrangements by Frank Metis, Noah Luna, Alexis Lamb, and Michael Gancz. Frank, inparticular, took me under his wing like a father, providing the encouragement I neededwhen I first started out. I've also composed several songs on my own, and all of them areoriginal, just like Carolyn's lyrics.This collection represents the Safari Mitzi Collection, carefully curated.I deliberately avoid writing commercially mundane songs for the younger iPhonegeneration, who often prefer loud noise with booming effects produced on a computerusing drum machines. It's not just about creating hits in genres like country, hip-hop, orrap; sentimentality doesn't always resonate these days. While some of my songs may seemoutdated, they come straight from the heart. Perhaps people will appreciate them even ahundred years from now.Carolyn and I continue to reside in Ft. Myers, where we've welcomed a new addition to ourfamily: "Sassy," a loving cat we rescued from an animal shelter. She's quite the character, running the household and keeping her brother Ollie in check.

The Spirit of Polyphony
This book re-examines how Bonhoeffer employs musical patterns of thought and language to a theological end. It outlines how the significance of Bonhoeffer's musico-theology has not been sufficiently recognised, and sets the stage for a rigorous re-examination. It becomes clear that through the lens of his musical metaphor of polyphony, Bonhoeffer demonstrates how his account of Christian formation contains a latent pneumatology. Tarassenko demonstrates that incorporation of this pneumatology is key in deepening one's understanding of Bonhoeffer. It allows the relationship between Christology and Christian formation in Bonhoeffer's thought to become fully realised. The appeal to polyphony articulates this pneumatology, as an indirect but nevertheless exceedingly successful means of contouring an account of the Spirit's work.

Louise Lecavalier
As principal dancer with Montr矇al-based company La La La Human Steps, Louise Lecavalier was among the most iconic dancers of her generation: strong, muscled, androgynous, punk. Moving with spectacular speed, precision and an athletic physicality, her commitment to dancing would ultimately transform the potential of what bodies within Western concert dance could do. Drawing on extensive oral history accounts and archival material, the book follows Lecavalier's impact on the evolving aesthetic of La La La Human Steps, via the development of its early repertoire, and offers the first sustained account of her 1982 solo Non, Non, Non, je ne suis pas Mary Poppins. More, it tracks diverse influences and sources for the repertoire, complicating understandings of nationalism in Qu矇bec, while marking the significance of the collective in generating new aesthetics. What emerges is a portrait of the dancer as artist, icon, labourer and mover of cultural discourse. Featuring an expansive set of photos and ephemera, including performance documentation by photographer/activist Linda Dawn Hammond, production images by choreographer ?douard Lock and street photography by key players in the 1980s Montr矇al scene, this study offers a critical and celebratory appraisal of Lecavalier's unique contribution and the role of the dancer more broadly as a producer of culture.

Formulating Foster
Decades after his death, Stephen C. Foster's (1826--64) family and fans seized upon his birth on the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and his role in the burgeoning US music industry to mythologize him as a founding father in American cultural history. Hailing him as the father of American music and symbol of US democracy at the end of the nineteenth century required the collective forgetting of certain facts of his life, particularly his initial rise to fame through controversial minstrel songs depicting nostalgia for enslavement. In Formulating Foster, musicologist and librarian Christopher Lynch re-examines the myth of the founding of American music, drawing upon previously unknown archival materials and oral histories to uncover the myth's origins and expose the deliberate work of the Foster family and the wealthy philanthropist Josiah K. Lilly in embedding it in American institutions. By gathering and contextualizing all the remembrances written by acquaintances of the composer, Lynch lays out a roughly ninety-year process following Foster's death that gradually engrained the myth in American popular consciousness. Stripping away the myth's artificiality, Formulating Foster presents a richer, more humanizing portrait of the composer, illuminating important aspects of his life and character and proposing new ways to understand his music.
