The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music
So, I've written a book.
Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ('It's a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!'), I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child.
This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters...the list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.

The Free World: Art and Thought in the Cold War
The Cold War was not just a contest of power. It was also about ideas, in the broadest sense - economic and political, artistic and personal.
In The Free World, the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning scholar and critic Louis Menand tells the story of American culture in the pivotal years from the end of World War II to Vietnam and stresses the rich flow of ideas across the Atlantic.
How did elitism and an anti-totalitarian scepticism of passion and ideology give way to a new sensibility defined by experimentation and loving the Beatles? How was the ideal of 'freedom' applied to causes that ranged from anti-communism and civil rights to radical acts of self-creation via art and even crime? With the wit and insight familiar to readers of The Metaphysical Club, Menand takes us inside Hannah Arendt's Manhattan, the Paris of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir and the post-war vogue for French existentialism, structuralism and post-structuralism.
He also shows how Europeans played a vital role in promoting and influencing American art and thought, revealing how America's once neglected culture became respected and adored. With unprecedented verve and range, this book offers a masterly account of the main characters and minor figures who played part in shaping the post-war world of art and thought.

Offspring, The - Rise and Fall, Rage And Grace: 15th Anniversary LP
The Offspring je americká rocková skupina z Garden Grove v Kalifornii, založená v roku 1984.Pôvodne vznikla pod názvom Manic Subsidal, súčasnú zostavu kapely tvoria hlavný spevák a rytmický gitarista Bryan „Dexter“ Holland, hlavný gitarista Kevin „Noodles“ Wasserman, basgitarista Todd Morse a bubeník Brandon Pertzborn. Počas svojej 39-ročnej kariéry vydali Offspring desať štúdiových albumov a zažili aj množstvo zmien v zostave, najmä s bubeníkom. Ich najdlhšie slúžiacim bubeníkom bol Ron Welty, ktorý v roku 1987 nahradil pôvodného bubeníka Jamesa Lilju a zostal s Offspring 16 rokov. The Offspring sú často pripisované (spolu s ostatnými kalifornskými punkovými kapelami Green Day, NOFX, Bad Religion a Rancid) zásluhy za oživenie mainstreamového záujmu o punk rock v 90. rokoch. Celosvetovo predali viac ako 40 miliónov nahrávok, čo z nich robí jednu z najpredávanejších punkrockových kapiel v histórii. "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace" je ôsmy štúdiový album The Offspring. Bol vydaný 17. júna 2008 v Spojených štátoch a o týždeň skôr v Japonsku. Je to prvý album skupiny od vydania albumu Splinter v roku 2003, prvý v spolupráci s producentom Bobom Rockom.

Markets and Staples in the Medieval Hungarian Kingdom
This book discusses medieval markets and depots, places of commercial activity in the Kingdom of Hungary, and their many interactions, and how they developed and changed over time. The system went through many changes as new demands arose over the centuries, but permanence and characteristic feature. In the early Kingdom of Hungary only the king could hold markets, but clerical and secular landowners gradually aquired market rights in later times. The only prerogative retained by the king was the power to grant a franchise for a market. Kings may have created the institutional basis for trade, but markets followed their own course of development in the way operated.

Christine And The Queens - Paranoia, Angels, True Love LP
Héloise Adélaide Letissier profesionálne známy ako „Christine and the Queens“ a „Redcar“, alebo jednoducho „Chris“, je francúzsky spevák a skladateľ. Narodil sa a vyrastal v Nantes, ako štvorročný sa začal učiť hru na klavíri a počas štúdia našiel inšpiráciu v jednom z londýnskych klubov. Jeho debutový štúdiový album „Chaleur humaine“ (2014) získal uznanie kritiky, dostal sa na 2. miesto vo francúzskom aj britskom rebríčku a vo Francúzsku bol certifikovaný ako diamantový; bola to tiež najpredávanejšia debutová nahrávka v Spojenom kráľovstve. V roku 2018 vydal svoj druhý štúdiový album „Chris“, ktorý si získal ďalšie uznanie u kritikov. Clash, The Guardian a The Independent ho označili za album roka a umiestnili sa v prvej desiatke z deviatich ďalších koncoročných zoznamov. Skladbu „Girlfriend“ ocenil časopis Time ako pieseň roka. V reakcii na smrť svojej matky vydal Letissier v roku 2020 EP“La vita nuova“, pričom niektorí kritici ho označili za jeho doteraz najsilnejšie dielo. „PARANOIA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE“ je napísaný, nahraný a produkovaný Christine and the Queens, s koprodukciou Mikea Deana (Lana Del Rey, Beyonce) s hosťami ako 070 Shake a Madonna.

Down and Out in Paris and London
'You can live on a shilling a day in Paris if you know how. But it is a complicated business'
As a struggling writer in his twenties, Orwell lived as a down-and-out among the poorest members of society. In this, his early memoir, Orwell recalls with vivid clarity his time working as a penniless dishwasher in Paris, pawning clothes to buy a day's worth of bread and wine, sleeping in bug-infested bunks, trading survival skills and cigarette butts with fellow tramps, and trudging between London's workhouse spikes for a few hours' sleep and tea.
With all of the sensitivity and compassion that Orwell is known and loved for, he exposed the hardships of poverty and gave readers an unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society.

Liptov ľudové umenie Folk Art
To čo sa v súčasnosti nazýva ľudovým umením, bolo v minulosti súčasťou každodenného života človeka. Ľudový výrobca pracoval s praktickým cieľom a jeho výrobky charakterizoval dokonalý súlad materiálu a techniky, funkcie a výzdoby. Každá vec ktorú zhotovil, musela byť taká, aby slúžila a aj ukázala, spájala sa v nej krása materiálu, výzdoby a účelnosti. Ľudia v Liptove spracovávali prírodné materiály a zhotovovali predmety, ktoré im slúžili v každodennom živote. Najpoužívanejšie boli predmety z dreva potrebné v domácnosti a gazdovstve, ale aj nábytok. Z prútia, korienkov a slamy sa plietli koše a košíky, hrnčiari robili a vypaľovali hlinené krčahy, misy, hrnce, pekáče a aj kachlice. Ovčiari si vyrezávali salašnícky riad, formy na oštiepky a črpáky na žinčicu. Ich oblečenie charakterizovala tzv. valaská paráda – bohato zdobené opasky, kapsy, klobúky, pracky a spony. Z ovčej vlny ľudia robili súkno, ktoré im slúžilo na odievanie, šili si z neho zimnú obuv a tiež používali ako prikrývky. Z koží oviec zruční remeselníci šili veľké mužské a ženské kožuchy, ale aj zdobené vesty bez rukávov. Ženy spracovávali ľanové a konopné vlákna, tkali z nich plátno, ktoré ozdobovali vytkávanými alebo vyšívanými vzormi. Modrotlačiari farbili biele plátno a potláčali ho krásnymi farebnými vzormi. Je potešiteľné, že takmer všetky výrobné a remeselné techniky a postupy sa v regióne uchovali až do súčasnosti ako živá tradícia.
