'The NME mattered to all those generations who grew up with music at the centre of their universe. The NME never had a truer chronicler than Pat Long.' Tony Parsons Since it was founded in 1952, the New Musical Express has played a central part in the British love affair with pop music. Snotty, confrontational, enthusiastic, sarcastic: the NME landing on the doormat every Wednesday was the high point of any music fan’s week, whether they were listening to The Beatles, Bowie or Blur. The Sex Pistols sang about it, Nick Hornby claims he regrets not working for it and a whole host of household names – Tony Parsons and Julie Burchill, Nick Kent and Mick Farren, Steve Lamacq and Stuart Maconie – started their career writing for it. This authoritative history, written by former assistant editor, Pat Long, is an insider's account of the high times and low lives of the world's most famous, and most influential, music magazine. The fights, the bands, the brawls, the haircuts, the egos and much more. This is the definitive – and first – book about the infamous NME.

To each of us who has enjoyed a piece of birthday cake, the strains of "Happy Birthday to You" are as familiar to our ears as our own names. Yet how many people know the origin of the tune and its place in American history? In 1889 Patty and Mildred Hill, two Kentucky sisters, wrote the words and composed the melody of "Good Morning to All" for their kindergarten students. Initially written as a simple greeting and welcome, they later changed the words and birthday celebrations were forever altered. But it wasn't until 1935 that the sisters' song was fully copyrighted and their names duly credited. Margot Theis Raven, the author of such inspiring children's books as Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot and Let Them Play, relates the story behind one of the most famous and oft-sung songs in the world.Margot Theis Raven's award-winning books are often set against powerful historical backdrops such as America's civil rights period. Her books for Sleeping Bear Press include America's White Table and Let Them Play, which was named a 2006 Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People. Chris Soentpiet's numerous books include My Brother Martin and Peacebound Trains and reflect his interest in people, history, and culture.

Electronic music is seriously challenging the reign of pop and rock music, aging art forms that are dying at the hands of multi-national music-industry giants. Raw Music Material tells you why, presenting 44 of these new cultural figures in images, words, and sound. Arsene Saheurs, a Zurich-based photographer, has photographed the DJs at Rohstofflager, one of Zurich's hippest clubs, for the past five years, creating an archive of the international faces behind the electronic revolution in music. Statements in the DJs' own words on their lives and their music add up to a history of techno, drum'n'bass, and electronic music. Read the story of a musical paradigm shift, instigated by a couple of black middle-class boys in Detroit who listened to Kraftwerk and European electro music, and started to use computers and synthesizers to create tracks that were the minimalist, reduced essence of funk, soul, disco, and electronica. In the U.S., they remained an underground cult, but in post-cold war Europe they found a rapt audience, in particular in Germany and the Netherlands. Soon, techno gained an astonishing momentum in Europe; a dense network of labels, clubs, and artists evolved in the early 90s, breaking the hegemony of melody- and vocal-driven rock and pop music and their sentimental narratives. A new club culture evolved that was based neither on disco nor on new-wave blueprints. DJs became producers and vice versa, abandoning traditional notions of authorship and performance. The texts included herein illuminate this astonishing phenomenon, an eponymous convergence of African-American grooves and European will to experimentation. On the two enclosed CDs, listen to some of the DJsfavorite tracks -- after all, it's not enough to just read about groove and funk. Raw Music Material provides an indispensable and entertaining overview of electronic music today. It will stimulate both your brain and your ears.
