Rolling Stones, The - Live At The Wiltern 2CD+DVD
"The Rolling Stones" je anglická rocková skupina založená v Londýne v roku 1962. Aktívna už viac ako šesť desaťročí, je jednou z najpopulárnejších a najtrvalejších kapiel rockovej éry. Začiatkom 60. rokov boli Rolling Stones priekopníkmi drsného, rytmicky riadeného zvuku, ktorý definoval hard rock. Ich prvú stabilnú zostavu tvorili spevák Mick Jagger, multiinštrumentalista Brian Jones, gitarista Keith Richards, basgitarista Bill Wyman a bubeník Charlie Watts. Počas ich formovania bol Jones hlavným lídrom: zostavil skupinu, pomenoval ju a riadil jej zvuk a imidž. Po tom, čo sa v roku 1963 stal manažérom skupiny Andrew Loog Oldham, povzbudil ich, aby napísali svoje vlastné piesne. Jagger a Richards sa stali primárnou tvorivou silou kapely, čím odcudzili Jonesa, ktorý si vyvinul drogovú závislosť, ktorá zasahovala do jeho schopnosti zmysluplne prispievať. "The Rolling Stones" majú odhadovaný predaj nahrávok na úrovni 200 miliónov, čo z nich robí jedného z najpredávanejších hudobných umelcov všetkých čias. Kapela získala tri ceny Grammy a cenu Grammy za celoživotné dielo. V roku 1989 ich uviedli do Rokenrolovej siene slávy a v roku 2004 do Britskej hudobnej siene slávy. Časopis Billboard a Rolling Stones zaradili skupinu medzi jednu z najväčších všetkých čias.
The Rolling Stones sa vydali na „Licks World Tour“ v rokoch 2002 a 2003, aby oslávili svoje 40. výročie, pričom skupina vystupovala v arénach a na štadiónoch, okrem príležitostných divadelných predstavení – celkovo skľučujúcich 117 vystúpení. V novembri 2002 dorazili Stones do Los Angeles, aby vystúpili v preplnenom divadle Wiltern Theatre, kde fanúšikovia pohostili súborom plným rarít, ktorí sa v takomto intímnom prostredí cítia ako doma. Zatiaľ čo zazneli niektoré z hitov, táto noc vo Wilterne patrila zriedka hraným klasikám vrátane „Stray Cat Blues“, „No Expectations“ a cover verzie „Everybody Needs Somebody To Love“ s hosťom od legendárneho Solomona. Burke, ktorý tú noc otvoril predstavenie. Nižšie si môžete pozrieť úvodný trailer k Live At The Wiltern.

The Man From the Atom
This was one of the 6 science fiction stories published in the first issue (April 1926) of the first magazine devoted to science fiction, Amazing Stories, edited and published by Hugo Gernsback, now considered to be the father of the science fiction genre. He described this story in an inset panel:"In 'Alice in the Looking Glass', the beautiful play of fancy which gave immortal fame to a logician and mathematician, we read of the mysterious change in size of the heroine, the charming little Alice. It tells how she grew large and small according to what she ate. But here we have increase in size pushed to its utmost limit. Here we have treated the growth of a man to cosmic dimensions. And we are told of his strange sensation and are led up to a sudden startling and impressive conclusion, and are taken through the picture of his emotions and despair."The reader with even the most basic knowledge of science will find this story flawed, incredible, perhaps ludicrous. But, after all, it's fiction, more fantasy than science. Suspend your disbelief and let the story carry you where it will, across space and time, to love.The magazine copyright and the individual copyright of the author were not renewed. Therefore this work is in the public domain in the United States. It may also be in the public domain in other countries based on the life of the author, who in this instance died in 1968.

Views from the Inside
From political novels to surrealist poetry and censored rock and roll, Czech underground culture of the latter twentieth
century displayed an astonishing, and unheralded, variety. This fascinating exploration of that underground movement—the historical, sociological,and psychological background that gave rise to it; the literature, music, and arts that comprised it; and its morerecent incorporation into the mainstream—draws on the voices of scholars and critics who themselves played an integral role in generating it. Featuring the writings of Czech poet Ivan Martin Jirous, philosopher-poet Egon Bondy, and writer Jáchym Topol, and Canadian expat and translator Paul Wilson—many of which have never before been available in English—as well as an expanded bibliography reflecting advances in scholarship. This second edition is both a work of literature and an eye-opening volume of criticism.

The Beatles - Get Back
Az eredeti angol kiadással egy időben magyarul is olvasható lesz az új Beatles-filmhez kapcsolódó exkluzív könyv!
1969 januárjában a Beatles azzal a nagyszabású tervvel vágott neki az új esztendőnek, hogy egy különleges show keretében filmre veszik, ahogy dalokat írnak és próbálnak, majd előadják őket közönség előtt. A később Get Back néven ismertté vált projekt kétszeresen is visszatérést jelentett, hiszen az együttes ekkor már két és fél éve nem koncertezett, a kísérletező korszakukat követően pedig vissza akartak kanyarodni az eredeti rockos gyökerekhez. Egy hónapon keresztül kamerák és mikrofonok rögzítették minden szavukat, ám hogy végül mi valósult meg az elképzelésekből, azt meséli el az akkor rögzített dialógusok alapján ez a fotókkal gazdagon illusztrált kötet, amely szorosan kapcsolódik a Peter Jackson rendezte, azonos című új Beatles-filmhez.
