Book excerpt: Eddie Ayres has a lifetime of musical experience - from learning the viola as a child in England and playing with the Hong Kong Philharmonic for many years, to learning the cello in his thirties and landing in Australia to present an extremely successful ABC Classic FM morning radio show. But all of this time Eddie was Emma Ayres. In 2014 Emma was spiralling into a deep depression, driven by anguish about her gender. She quit the radio, travelled, and decided on a surprising path to salvation - teaching music in a war zone. Emma applied for a position at Dr Sarmast's renowned Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul, teaching cello to orphans and street kids. In Danger Music, Eddie takes us through the bombs and chaos of Kabul, into the lives of the Afghan children who are transported by Bach, Abba, Beethoven and their own exhilarating Afghan music. Alongside these epic experiences, Emma determines to take the final steps to secure her own peace; she becomes the man always there inside - Eddie.

Book excerpt: She’s a Hollywood reporter with a glamorous assignment that turns deadly: solve a famous cold-case mystery. It’s all fun with movie stars... until the killer reawakens, and targets her! A magazine hires offbeat journalist Kenny Rubin to figure out who killed actress Melinda Rivers five years ago. And she’s supposed to do it before the airing of a new movie about the murder. Many of the people involved in the filming knew Melinda, and one might be the actual killer. As Kenny investigates, people start dying around her, and her bipolar disorder messes with her perceptions. Can she identify the culprit before she plays right into his hands? And what about the dangerously handsome actor who might have a thing for Kenny? Alreaders.com said: “The story line is fast-paced … a wonderful Hollywood mystery.” Jacqueline Diamond, the USA Today bestselling author of the Safe Harbor Medical Mysteries and A Cat’s Garden of Secrets, is a former Associated Press news and entertainment reporter in Los Angeles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book on Danger Danger, charting their life via researched history and words from all the members, from their early days as Hotshot to their quasi-reunion via the Defiants. This is an unauthorized fan publication. Many critics lump them in with their 1980's peers, but further listening makes it evident that Danger Danger had so much more to offer. While in the glam metal bubble their many textures got lost, only to then reinvent themselves once the grunge wave hit the musical shores. While the members have worked with Michael Bolton, Billy Sheehan, Motley Crue, Peter Criss, Alice Cooper, White Lion, David Lee Roth, Y&T, Megadeth, Joan Jett, Asia, Dee Snider, and Dio, among others. Now comes the history of Steve West, Bruno Ravel, Ted Poley, Paul Laine, Mike Pont, Phil Naro, Rob Marcello, Andy Timmons, Tony ""Bruno"" Rey, Al Pitrelli, Kasey Smith; touring members Steven Mazza of the Ted Poley Band, Steve Brown of Trixter, Scott Brown of Trooper; and roadie Kelly Nickels later of L.A. Guns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book marks the tenth anniversary of The Grey Album. The online release and circulation of what Danger Mouse called his 'art project' was an unexpected watershed in the turn-of-the-century brawls over digital creative practice. The album's suppression inspired widespread digital civil disobedience and brought a series of contests and conflicts over creative autonomy in the online world to mainstream awareness. The Grey Album highlighted, by its very form, the profound changes wrought by the new technology and represented the struggle over the tectonic shifts in the production, distribution and consumption of music. But this is not why it matters. The Grey Album matters because it is more than just a clever, if legally ambiguous, amalgam. It is an important and compelling case study about the status of the album as a cultural form in an era when the album appears to be losing its coherence and power. Perhaps most importantly, The Grey Album matters because it changes how we think about the traditions of musical practice of which it is a part. Danger Mouse created a broad, inventive commentary on forms of musical creativity that have defined all kinds of music for centuries: borrowing, appropriation, homage, derivation, allusion and quotation. The struggle over this album wasn't just about who gets to use new technology and how. The battle over The Grey Album struck at the heart of the very legitimacy of a long recognised and valued form of musical expression: the interpretation of the work of one artist by another.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derided for its conformity and consumerism, 1950s America paid a price in anxiety. Prosperity existed under the shadow of a mushroom cloud. Optimism wore a Bucky Beaver smile that masked worry over threats at home and abroad. But even dread could not quell the revolutionary changes taking place in virtually every form of mainstream music. Music historian James Wierzbicki sheds light on how the Fifties' pervasive moods affected its sounds. Moving across genres established--pop, country, opera--and transfigured--experimental, rock, jazz--Wierzbicki delves into the social dynamics that caused forms to emerge or recede, thrive or fade away. Red scares and white flight, sexual politics and racial tensions, technological progress and demographic upheaval--the influence of each rooted the music of this volatile period to its specific place and time. Yet Wierzbicki also reveals the host of underlying connections linking that most apprehensive of times to our own uneasy present.
