How music works by david byrne6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Music doesn't just work because of its effect on the senses every aspect of its sound and construction has an emotional impact, right up to the way it's distributed, even marketed, and the machines on which it's consumed. ![]() Rudely awakened by the main attraction, Led Zeppelin, he returned to his slumbers only to be roused by the appalling discovery that Dr John, playing his New Orleans "funky voodoo jive in full carnival drag", was being pelted with beer cans – "the most original act on the bill and he was completely unappreciated".Įver against the grain, the now 60-year-old Byrne explores a whole symphony of argument in this extraordinary book with the precise, technical enthusiasm you'd expect from the painfully bright art school-educated son – born in Scotland, raised in the States – of an electrical engineer, occasionally mopping his fevered brow in the crestfallen manner of a 19th-century poet. ![]() At 18 he travelled from Rhode Island to the Bath festival but "exhausted after hours of listening to music I fell asleep on the damp ground". Two years later he was performing Chuck Berry and Eddie Cochran on the ukulele. When he first heard Purple Haze, aged 14, the precocious future leader of Talking Heads informed his father that "the electric guitar has broken free from history". ![]() ![]() ![]() ENGLISH 121 what are the SOAPSTone in Salvation - By Langston Hughes.

Book: “A Desolation Called Peace” by Arkady Martine ![]() From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris6/26/2023 ![]() Soon Charlaine was looking for another challenge, and the result was the much darker Lily Bard series. Her first Teagarden, Real Murders, garnered an Agatha nomination. ![]() After a child-producing sabbatical, Charlaine latched on to the trend of series, and soon had her own traditional mystery books about a Georgia librarian, Aurora Teagarden. The resulting two stand-alones were published by Houghton Mifflin. After holding down some low-level jobs, her husband Hal gave her the opportunity to stay home and write.

He describes his triumphs and his disappointments, both public and private, narrating his story as he has lived, in his own words and on his own terms. ![]() The memoir records the travails and tribulations of Anil Swarup as a decision maker and as an internal observer of the system. His career, spanning 38 years, revolved round tackling myriad of issues that ranged from dealing with corruption in the state of Uttar Pradesh to coal mafias, witnessing the aftermath of Babri Masjid demolition to handling education mafias. He invites readers into his world chronicling the experiences that shaped him from growing years as a student to his years of rigorous training as a civil servant and finally managing crisis, both man-made and otherwise, that confronted the government. Not Just A Civil Servant drafts the journey of Anil Swarup, a civil servant who survived despite being politically incorrect. ![]() The end of the affair by graham greene6/25/2023 ![]() ![]() Photograph: Kurt Hutton/Getty Images A note on the text Guilt-edged: Graham Greene pouring a drink, 1954. Only in retrospect will the meaning of this inexplicable act of rejection become apparent. When Bendrix is nearly killed by a bomb (Greene’s house was similarly wrecked during the blitz), his mistress suddenly breaks off relations. ![]() They fall in love and have an affair tortured by his jealousy and her guilt. Maurice Bendrix, a second-rank novelist, wants to write about a civil servant, and makes the acquaintance of his neighbour’s wife, Sarah. Set in Clapham during the blitz (before the war, Greene owned a house in Clapham), it’s a story of adultery. Crucially, it dates from Greene’s best years, the age of postwar austerity that also nurtured the previous author (No 70) in this series, George Orwell. The novel owes its inspiration to the conventions of romantic fiction while at the same time transcending genre. I’ve chosen The End of the Affair because it blurs the line he drew between his “entertainments” and his more serious work. T here are many Greenes, and almost all of them – the thriller writer ( The Third Man), the entertainer ( Our Man in Havana), the contemporary political novelist ( The Quiet American), the polemicist ( The Comedians) and the serious religious writer ( The Power and the Glory) – deserve consideration in this series. ![]() Devil of dublin bb easton6/25/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() (Works on PC, Ipad, Android, iOS, Tablet, MAC) #bookish ,#kindleaddict ,#EpubForSale ,#bestbookreads ,#ebookworm ,#readyforit ,#downloadprintīy click link in above! wish you have good luck and enjoy reading your book.

The school teacher, sometimes slightly older than her pupils, was a renaissance individual. When they arrived on their first day of school they may have only known how to speak a foreign language but they soon learned how to speak, read, spell, and write English. They got to school on foot, on horseback, or in a wagon. The children who attended ranged in age from five to 21 and endured dust storms, prairie fires, and cattle drives swirling past the school house in order to get an eighth grade education. They were called names like Prairie Flower, Buzzard Roost, and Good Intent. For a hundred years, white frame or native stone one-room schoolhouses dotted the section corners across Kansas. ![]() |
