I Put A Spell On You
A gorgeous, inimitable singer and songwriter, Nina Simone (1933-2003) changed the face of both music and race relations in America. She struck a chord with bluesy jazz ballads like "Put a Little Sugar in My Bowl" and powerful protest songs such as "Mississippi Goddam" and "To Be Young, Gifted, and Black," the anthem of the American Civil Rights movement. Coinciding with the re-release of her famous Philips Recordings, here are the reflections of the "High Priestess of Soul" on her own life.

Július Satinský - Fantázia con amore
Každý z nás pozná ten pocit, keď odrazu celý svet sčernie a stratí všetky farby. Vtedy sa utiekame k niekomu veselému, kto žiari ako slnko a hreje ako dobre rozpálené kachle – a potom o ňom skladáme piesne, rozprávame legendy a píšeme knižky. Medzi ne patrí aj najnovšia nostalgicko-humorne ladená spomienka na jedného z posledných pravých „svetlonosov – Luciferov“ našej doby, Jula Satinského.
On bol krásny, štíhly, dvorný a úspešný mladý herec a ona zostúpila z tatranského raja, aby v Bratislave študovala divadelnú vedu. Stretli sa na jednom z mnohých divadelných plesov začiatkom 60. rokov a už sa nikdy skutočne neodlúčili. Kniha Fantasia con amore veľmi osobne a precítene spomína na autorkino detstvo v horách, objavovanie nového šíreho sveta a titanské vzbury mladej inteligencie proti všadeprítomnému socializmu. Mladý, charizmatický spasiteľ Július vedie romantický, zato sebazničujúci život a na svoju stranu strháva každého, kto s ním chce snívať a žiť. Svoju mladosť a slobodu v jeho spoločnosti naplno prežíva aj autorka, necháva sa unášať jeho nežnosťou a iróniou, nezmyselnými rečami a nekonečnou fantáziou. V dobrom i zlom vďačne hrá jeho Nathalie, Antigonu, Eurydiku, Luciu či Sympatiu, bez otázok a výčitiek ho nasleduje z jedného plesu na druhý a neúnavne vstrebáva nekonečne absurdné monológy.
Hlboký platonický vzťah dvoch prepletených duší prežíva aj emigráciu mladej Nathalie do Švajčiarska a neskôr do USA, a ožíva pri každom jej návrate do vlasti. Dokonca i po majstrovej smrti plní múza svoje slovo a spomína naňho vo svojej knižke „nie ako na komedianta, ale ako na Jula Satka, človeka, ktorý mal rád život, bál sa smrti a dobre to kamufloval“. Na 128 stranách čitateľ spoznáva Júliusa Satinského na základe bezchybných monológov, ktoré akoby pochádzali z jeho vlastného pera, medzi riadkami sa ukrýva životná filozofia a duch vtedajšej doby. I keď nejde o žiadnu umeleckú biografiu, táto knižka určite nesmie chýbať v knižnici žiadneho správneho fanúšika Júliusa Satinského, jeho humoru a platonickej romantiky.

The Dirt
Motley Crue was the voice of a barely pubescent Generation X, the anointed high priests of the power ballad, and the pioneers of Hollywood glam. Their sex lives claimed celebrities like Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson as well as teenage groupies all over the world. When they weren\'t appeasing their voracious sexual appetites, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil and Mick Mars cultivated their other interests - collecting automatic weapons, creating long and lurid rap sheets, doing every conceivable drug in every conceivable fashion and dreaming up backstage antics that would make Ozzy Osbourne blanch with modesty. Provocatively written and brilliantly designed, this book includes over 100 photos for the most insightful look ever into the Crue - the most infamous band in the world. The Dirt spent four weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and sold over 13,000 copies in hardback in the UK.

Careless Love - The Unmaking of Elvis Presley
Last Train to Memphis, the first part of Guralnick's two-volume life of Elvis Presley, received unprecedented accolades. This concluding volume recounts the second half of Elvis's life in rich and previously unimagined detail, and confirms Guralnick's status as one of the great biographers of our time. Beginning with Presley's army service in Germany in 1958 and ending with his death in Memphis in 1977, Careless Love chronicles the unraveling of the dream that once shone so brightly, homing in on the complex playing-out of Elvis's relationship with his Machiavellian manager, Colonel Tom Parker. It's a breathtaking drama that places the events of a too often mistold tale in a fresh, believable, and understandable context. This is the quintessential American story, encompassing race, class, wealth, sex, music, religion, and personal transformation. Written with grace, sensitivity, and passion, Careless Love is a unique contribution to our understanding of American popular culture and the nature of success, giving us true insight at last into one of the most misunderstood public figures of our times.

Dino
From dealing blackjack in the small-time gangster town of Steubenville, Ohio, to carousing with the famous Rat Pack in a Hollywood he called home, Dean Martin lived in a grandstand, guttering life of booze, broads, and big money. He rubbed shoulders with the mob, the Kennedys, and Hollywood's biggest stars. He was one of America's favorite entertainers. But no one really knew him. Now Nick Tosches reveals the man behind the image--the dark side of the American dream. It's a wild, illuminating, sometimes shocking tale of sex, ambition, heartaches--and a life lived hard, fast, and without apologies.

Szikora Róbert - Ünnep (CD melléklettel)
Egy gyermek, aki egy napon született Beethovennel és Kodály Zoltánnal. Egy fiú, aki már kiskorában megérezte magában a zenét. Egy kamasz, aki felhagyott sporttal, tenisszel, és zenésznek, dobosnak állt. Egy férfi, aki imádja a Beatlest és Karinthy Frigyest. Egy zenész, aki magasra jutott, és nem félt váltani. Aki mert a saját lábára állni és dobosként zenekart alapítani, amellyel példátlan sikereket ért el. Egy férfi, aki 30 éve létrehozta az R-Go-t; stílust, dalokat alkotott, ezáltal örömet, vigaszt és közösséget teremtett. Mert a dalok, a díszlet, a jelmez, maga az R-Go az ő lelkéből fakad. Egy örök gyermek Rákospalotáról a siker útján. Ő Szikora Róbert.

Mammoth Book of Bob Dylan
Bob Dylans impact on popular music has been incalculable. Having transformed staid folk music into a vehicle for coruscating social commentary, he then swept away the romantic platitudes of rock n roll with his searing intellect. From the zeitgei
st-encapsulating protest of Blowin in the Wind to the streetwise venom of Like a Rolling Stone, and from the stunning mid-sixties trilogy of albums Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde to Time Out of Mind, his
stunning if world-weary comeback at the age of 56, Dylans genius has endured, underpinned by the dazzling turn of phrase that has made him the pre-eminent poet of popular music. Because Dylans achievements have no equal, his career is the most chr
onicled in rock history. Here, Sean Egan presents a selection of the best writing on Dylan, both praise and criticism. Interviews, essays, features and reviews from Dylan intimates and scholars such as John Bauldie, Michael Gray, Nat Hentoff and Jule
s Siegel are interspersed with new narrative and reviews of every single album to create a comprehensive picture of the artist whose chimes of freedom still resound.

The House of Hidden Meanings
From international drag superstar and pop culture icon RuPaul, comes his most revealing and personal work to date?a brutally honest, surprisingly poignant, and deeply intimate memoir of growing up Black, poor, and queer in a broken home to discovering the power of performance, found family, and self-acceptance.
A profound introspection of his life, relationships, and identity, The House of Hidden Meanings is a self-portrait of the legendary icon on the road to global fame and changing the way the world thinks about drag.
Central to RuPaul’s success has been his chameleonic adaptability. From drag icon to powerhouse producer of one of the world’s largest television franchises, RuPaul’s ever-shifting nature has always been part of his brand as both supermodel and super mogul.
Yet that adaptability has made him enigmatic to the public. In this memoir, his most intimate and detailed book yet, RuPaul makes himself truly known.
Stripping away all artifice, RuPaul recounts the story of his life with breath taking clarity and tenderness, bringing his signature wisdom and wit to his own biography. From his early years growing up as a queer Black kid in San Diego navigating complex relationships with his absent father and temperamental mother, to forging an identity in the punk and drag scenes of Atlanta and New York, to finding enduring love with his husband Georges LeBar and self-acceptance in sobriety, RuPaul excavates his own biography, uncovering new truths and insights in his personal history.
Here in RuPaul’s singular and extraordinary story is a manual for living?a personal philosophy that testifies to the value of chosen family, the importance of harnessing what makes you different, and the transformational power of facing yourself fearlessly.
If we’re all born naked and the rest is drag, then this is RuPaul totally out of drag. This is RuPaul stripped bare.
Becoming Ella Fitzgerald
A landmark biography that reclaims Ella Fitzgerald as a major American artist and modernist innovator.
Ella Fitzgerald (1917–1996) possessed one of the twentieth century’s most astonishing voices. In this first major biography since Fitzgerald’s death, historian Judith Tick offers a sublime portrait of this ambitious risk-taker whose exceptional musical spontaneity made her a transformational artist.
Becoming Ella Fitzgerald clears up long-enduring mysteries. Archival research and in-depth family interviews shed new light on the singer’s difficult childhood in Yonkers, New York, the tragic death of her mother, and the year she spent in a girls’ reformatory school?where she sang in its renowned choir and dreamed of being a dancer. Rarely seen profiles from the Black press offer precious glimpses of Fitzgerald’s tense experiences of racial discrimination and her struggles with constricting models of Black and white femininity at midcentury.
Tick’s compelling narrative depicts Fitzgerald’s complicated career in fresh and original detail, upending the traditional view that segregates vocal jazz from the genre’s mainstream. As she navigated the shifting tides between jazz and pop, she used her originality to pioneer modernist vocal jazz. Interpreting long-lost setlists, reviews from both white and Black newspapers, and newly released footage and recordings, the book explores how Ella’s transcendence as an improvisor produced onstage performances every bit as significant as her historic recorded oeuvre.
From the singer’s first performance at the Apollo Theatre’s famous “Amateur Night” to the Savoy Ballroom, where Fitzgerald broke through with Chick Webb’s big band in the 1930s, Tick evokes the jazz world in riveting detail. She describes how Ella helped shape the bebop movement in the 1940s, as she joined Dizzy Gillespie and her then-husband, Ray Brown, in the world-touring Jazz at the Philharmonic, one of the first moments of high-culture acceptance for the disreputable art form.
Breaking ground as a female bandleader, Fitzgerald refuted expectations of musical Blackness, deftly balancing artistic ambition and market expectations. Her legendary exploration of the Great American Songbook in the 1950s fused a Black vocal aesthetic and jazz improvisation to revolutionize the popular repertoire. This hybridity often confounded critics, yet throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Ella reached audiences around the world, electrifying concert halls, and sold millions of records.
A masterful biography, Becoming Ella Fitzgerald describes a powerful woman who set a standard for American excellence nearly unmatched in the twentieth century.

The Path to Paradise
Say 'Coppola' and The Godfather immediately comes to mind. But Coppola isn't Corleone — he's more than that.
He's a visionary who predicted that digital cameras - no larger than one's hand - would allow anyone to make movies. And then set up a studio, Zeotrope, to make his dreams a reality.
The book presents the highs and lows of both his personal and professional life, as Coppola sets out to transform the process of making movies.
Sam Wasson masterly captures the larger-than-life figure of a man who pursued a vision of the world of movies and all the wonder of what that would be.
