Book excerpt: Five Years Ahead of My Time: Garage Rock from the 1950s to the Present tells of a musical phenomenon whose continuing influence on global popular culture is immeasurable. The story begins in 1950s America, when classic rock ’n’ roll was reaching middle age, and teenaged musicians kept its primal rawness going with rough-hewn instrumentals, practicing guitar riffs in their parents’ garages. In the mid-1960s came the Beatles and the British Invasion, and soon every neighborhood had its own garage band. Groups like the Sonics and 13th Floor Elevators burnt brightly but briefly, only to be rediscovered by a new generation of connoisseurs in the 1970s. Numerous compilation albums followed, spearheaded by Lenny Kaye’s iconic Nuggets, which resulted in garage rock’s rebirth during the 1980s and ’90s. Be it the White Stripes or the Black Keys, bands have consistently found inspiration in the simplicity and energy of garage rock. It is a revitalizing force, looking back to the past to forge the future of rock ’n’ roll. And this, for the first time, is its story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based upon work and materials compiled for the acclaimed and now much sought after 2007 Cramps biography A Short History of Rock'n'Roll Psychosis, Journey To The Centre Of The Cramps goes far beyond being a revised and updated edition: Completely overhauled, rewritten and vastly expanded, it now represents the definitive work on the group. In addition to unseen interview material from Ivy, Lux and other former band members, Journey To The Centre Of The Cramps also sees the Cramps' story through to its conclusion, recounting Lux's unexpected death in 2009, the subsequent dissolution of the group and their enduring legacy. The Cramps' history, influences and the cast of characters in and around the group are likewise explored in far greater depth. Features unseen first-hand interview material from Lux Interior and Poison Ivy. A wealth of new interview material with former band members and other key players in the band's history and never before seen/rare photographs and ephemera to help illustrate the book.

Book excerpt: If you have an enquiring mind and want to learn how bobbing ostriches can reverse global warming, and how many blades were on Occams Razor, then this book is for you. If you dont, and have no interest in finding out why infinity should be abolished, or why you shouldnt take the first spaceship heading to Alpha Proxima, then it probably isnt. Although things can change, so you may want to play safe and get the book anyway. Just in case. Either way

Book excerpt: "Philip Delves Broughton abandoned a post as Paris bureau chief of the London Daily Telegraph to join nine hundred other would-be tycoons on HBS's plush campus. Over the next two years, he and his classmates would be inundated with the best - and the rest - of American business culture that HBS epitomizes. The core of the school's curriculum is the "case" - an analysis of a real business situation from which the students must, with a professor's guidance, tease lessons. The author studied more than five hundred cases and recounts the most revelatory ones here. He also exposes the less savory trappings of b-school culture, from the "booze luge" to the pandemic obsession with PowerPoint to the specter of depression, which stalks many overburdened students. With acute and often uproarious candor, he assesses the school's success at teaching the traits it extols as most important in business - leadership, decisiveness, ethical behavior, work/life balance."--BOOK JACKET.

He touches on the world of plastic surgery and explains the art of injectables. He exposes some of the practices of Harley Street and its surgeons. And he explains how life can come crashing in on you, when only you know the terrible secrets why.
