Das Hörbuch zur Geschichte der Donots. April 1994: Fünf Schulfreunde spielen mit ihrer Band namens Donots in einem Ibbenbürener Jugendzentrum namens Scheune ihr erstes Konzert. Aus Langeweile, weil einem in der westfälischen Provinz kaum etwas anderes übrig bleibt, als eine Band zu gründen. Aus Leidenschaft für die Musik, weil Bad Religion, Nirvana oder The Clash ihnen vorgemacht haben, wie weit man es mit dreieinhalb Akkorden bringen kann. Und weil die Punkrock-Ideale, der politische und ethische Überbau sowie das Do-it-yourself-Credo in den Teenagern etwas entzünden, das nicht so leicht zu löschen ist.

Jonathan Taplin’s extraordinary journey has put him at the crest of every major cultural wave in the past half century. His is a lifetime marked not only by good timing but by impeccable instincts - from the folk scene of Woodstock, to Hollywood’s rebellious film movement and beyond, Taplin is not just a witness but a lifelong producer, the right-hand man to some of the greatest talents of both pop culture and the underground. The Magic Years is both a rock memoir and a work of cultural criticism from a key player who watched a nation turn from idealism to nihilism.

I don’t remember “Love Me Do” the first time around, although it did go to number 17 in the charts in December 1962. I remember their second release “Please Please Me", which went to number one in February 1963. I thought it was okay, but it didn’t knock me out. Their third release “From Me to You” hit the spot and from that moment, I was completely hooked on The Beatles. Thanks to the influence of The Beatles, I have been a professional musician for over 50 years, and their catalogue of songs remains the soundtrack to my life.

Why has music so often served as an accomplice to transcendent expressions of gender? Why did the query "is he musical?" become code, in the 20th century, for "is he gay?" Why is music so inherently queer? For Sasha Geffen, the answers lie, in part, in music’s intrinsic quality of subliminal expression, which, through paradox and contradiction, allows rigid gender roles to fall away in a sensual and ambiguous exchange between performer and listener. Glitter Up the Dark traces the history of this gender fluidity in pop music from the early 20th century to the present day.

In this conclusion to his trilogy of authoritative books on Canada's most beloved and successful rock band, Martin Popoff takes us through three decades of "life at the top" for Rush's Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart. Though this era begins with the brisk-selling Roll the Bones and sees throngs of fans sell out international tours, there is also unimaginable tragedy.
