A groundbreaking book exploring the breadth of history of recorded music by and for the LGBT community and how those records influenced the evolution of the music we listen to today. From Sia to Elton John, from Billie Holiday to David Bowie, LGBT musicians have changed the course of modern music. But before their music - and the messages behind it - gained understanding and a place in the mainstream, how did the queer musicians of yesteryear fight to build foundations for those who would follow them?

In the spring of 1933, more than 8,000 Jewish musicians, actors, and other artists were expelled from their positions with German orchestras, opera companies, and theater groups. Later that year, the Jüdische Kulturbund, or Jewish Culture Association, was created to allow Jewish artists to perform for Jewish audiences.

Peter Asher met the Beatles in the spring of 1963, the start of a lifelong association with the band and its members. He had a front-row seat as they elevated pop music into an art form, and he was present at the creation of some of the most iconic music of our times. But Asher was also a talented musician in his own right, with a great ear for what was new and fresh. Once, when Paul McCartney wrote a song that John Lennon didn’t think was right for the Beatles, Asher asked if he could record it.

In the heart of the American South, amid rolling hills and lush landscapes, a genre of music was born that would enchant generations and shape the very essence of the nation's musical heritage. "The Legends of Bluegrass Music" is a journey through the lives and contributions of the most influential figures in this soul-stirring genre. At the heart of the Bluegrass universe stands a figure synonymous with the genre itself—the "Father of Bluegrass," Bill Monroe.

Die Geschichte von Joint Venture, den Punks unter den deutschen Liedermachern. Erfrischend ehrlich erinnert sich Götz Widmann mal brüllend komisch, mal mit ganz viel Mut zum Tiefgang an das wilde Leben als rasant durchstartender und trotzdem permanent abgebrannter Undergroundact. Mit ihren anarchistischen Texten, ihrem schwarzen Humor und ihrem kompromisslosen Bekenntnis zur Lebensfreude haben Joint Venture einem in die Jahre gekommenen Genre in den Neunzigern völlig neues Leben eingehaucht, sind deswegen aber auch bis heute als echter Bürgerschreck verschrien.

From bass player to lead guitarist, singer and last remaining founding member, Steve Diggle has been the driving force keeping Buzzcocks alive since he first met Pete Shelley in 1976.

Following Shelley's untimely death in 2018, Autonomy is Diggle's definitive inside account of their shared musical legacy and complex friendship through the band's rise, fall, and rise again.

He changed ballet forever. And hid his wounds even longer. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was bestowed with a rare musical gift, but burdened by demons of self-doubt and passions forbidden in 19th century Russia. He struggled to release the music inside his head. And equally, to find romantic fulfillment that always remained just beyond his reach. He was deeply affected by the women in his life – those he loved, those he despised, and those whose affection he longed so badly to hold.

لا أعرف من أين أبدأ حديثي تحديدًا؛ الحكايات كثيرة وأنا أريد أن أحكي لكم كل شيء. فإلى مَنْ لا يعرف شيئًا عن فن الهيب هوب والراب وعن حياتي الشخصية والفنية، أهلًا وسهلًا بك في عالمي إن كان الفضول سبيلك والمحبة أسلوبك، وإلى مَنْ يعرفونني جيدًا ووصلهم صوتي، سأبهركم بحكايات الورقة والقلم، وأخيرًا إلى هؤلاء المُتنمرين مُتصيدي الأخطاء.

Managing the Bad Boys of Snooker recalls Harvey Lisberg’s time as manager to Jimmy White and Alex Higgins, both more rock ’n’ roll than either 10cc or Herman’s Hermits. In 1963, Harvey Lisberg discovered and managed Herman’s Hermits who along with The Beatles led the ‘British Invasion’ of the US with their smash “I’m Into Something Good”.

Tradicionalment, els músics han estat objecte d'adoració. Una admiració que, a vegades, frega la devoció religiosa. Cues interminables, i fins a desmais, per als concerts, pòsters decorant les habitacions dels adolescents, portades de milers de publicacions i milers de biografies escrites sobre talentosos músics que, en general, representen la imatge de l'èxit. Amb humor despreocupat i un toc disbauxat, Santi Giménez i Malcolm Otero t'ensenyen el costat més fosc d'aquests genis que, molt probablement, han format part de la banda sonora de la teva vida.
