This is a story of teenage dreams, which, as any Peel fan knows, are hard to beat. Between 1967 and 2004 John Peel picked over 2000 bands to come and record over 4000 sessions to be played on his radio show. Many were young and had never been in a recording studio before, for some it was the start of an illustrious career, for others it was the only recognition their musical talent ever got. For over 35 years the cream of British musical talent made the journey to the BBCs studio in Maida Vale, from Pink Floyd to Pulp, the Small Faces to the Smiths. And because John Peel was so respected his sessions took on a legendary status - they were a rite of passage that every new band wanted to go through. Unfettered by commerical pressure the Peel Sessions were a unique British institution - an archive of music that reflects one mans passion for finding and encouraging new music.Includes a full sessionography listing songs, band members and broadcast dates.Jarvis Cocker writing about his first Peel Session aged 18 (Wayne the drummer was 15):We travelled down to Maida Vale in a van driven by a very strange man wed contacted via a card pinned to the Virgin record shop noticeboard. Wed had to borrow lots of equipment from a band called The Naughtiest Girl Was a Monitor cause we didnt have enough stuff of our own. The session was to be produced by Dale Griffin, who used to be the drummer in Mott the Hoople; I seem to remember that he was wearing cowboy boots.I think the crisis point came when Wayne was attempting to get a home-made synth-drum to work that a friend of his at school had made out of a rubber burglar-alarm mat and an old electronic calculator - Dale Griffin looked at this 15-year-old kid crouching on the floor bashing what looked like a doormat with some wires coming out of it and just put his head in his hands. But to his credit, the session did get finished and after it, everything else started for me...

At seventy, Henri Matisse is a trim, clean old gentleman with a passion for naked women. He is UN MONSTRE SACRE who depicts with passion and conviction only what he takes pleasure in, only what he chooses to see. He is art personified. If there were no Matisse there would be no art as such. . . . He has purged everything from his painting except anxieties concerning structure and colour; his struggle is with these alone! MATISSES WAR is a minutely researched yet fictional account of Matisses life during the years 1939-1945. It is also a superb portrait of the lives of the major French artists and writers under the German occupation. Louis Aragon, Malraux, Picasso and Bonnard all appear prominently in the narrative.

To see The Clash on the White Riot tour was like discovering how to be a rock star: you just did it yourself. You didnt wait for someone to come and discover you. That was the most important thing that came out of punk... We came home and we cut our hair and bought skinny trousers. It was year zero. That was the moment for me Billy BraggPunk Rock is a book like no other. It is an oral history of a radical movement which exploded in Seventies Britain. With its own clothes, hair, artwork, fanzines and radical politics, Punk boasted a DIY ethos that meant anyone could take part. The scene was uniquely vibrant and energetic, leaving an extraordinary legacy of notorious events, charismatic characters and inspirational music.John Robb has spent over a year interviewing more than 100 contributors including Glen Matlock, Mick Jones, Don Letts, Slash, Billy Bragg, Hugh Cornwell and Captain Sensible. Now, for the first time, they give the inside view on events such as The Sex Pistols swearing live on the Bill Grundy TV show and staging their anti-Jubilee riverboat party on the Thames, famous gigs at The Roxy and 100 Club, and the groundbreaking records by The Pistols, The Clash, The Damned and others.From the widely debated roots of punk in the late-Sixties through to the fallout of the post-punk period in 1984, and the ongoing influence on todays bands, Punk Rock is the definitive oral history of an inimitable and exciting movement.

Music is, in one sense, merely a series of fleeting vibrations that arise and subside. How could it be that something so insubstantial fills us, and calms us, and makes us weep? Because, says W. A. Mathieu, music bridges mind and heart, self and other, and affirms our place in the world. Everyone uses the bridge of music, from casual listeners to devoted professionals. Mathieus delightful and trenchant prose asks you to question what music is, how it works, and how to understand its value in your life, in the life of your community, and in the evolution of the cosmos.

A ideia surgiu primeiramente como uma pesquisa de TCC, mas o assunto foi de tal maneira interessante, que resolvi estender um pouco mais.

Con gli occhi chiusi venne scritto nel 1913 e un racconto di spunto autobiografico. È il primo di una trilogia incentrata sulle vicende di personaggi inetti, incapaci di sottrarsi al proprio destino di rovina. Tutto il racconto e permeato da un grande disincantato ed un lucido realismo. Unaltra costante dellopera e lanalisi sociale, ma la rappresentazione della realta storico-sociale e priva di qualsiasi velo ideologico o sociologico. La narrazione e crudamente oggettiva, al punto da risultare in alcuni punti sgradevole. Il pessimismo di Tozzi e radicale: il dolore degli uomini non e il prodotto di un dato momento storico, ne proprio di una determinata classe sociale; e il male a dominare il mondo e la natura umana e sopraffatta dagli istinti negativi. Eppure, il suo realismo non e impersonale, la sua visione non e cinica, perche Tozzi partecipa con toccante pieta ai fallimenti dei suoi personaggi.
