Том Уэйтс: Интервью. Невиновны во сне Мак Монтандон
ISBN: 978-5-91181-643-8 Год издания: 2008 Издательство: Азбука-классика Язык: Русский РазвернутьТом Уэйтс - самый культовый из культовых музыкантов современности. Он всегда шел не против и даже не поперек течения - никакого течения для него будто и не существовало. В 1970-е годы, в пору расцвета глэм-рока и стадионного пафоса, он воплощал собой романтику городского дна: под джазовый аккомпанемент пел битнические баллады о несчастной любви и сердце субботней ночи в дебрях мегаполиса, о бродягах и стриптизершах, о карлике из Гонконга и пуэрториканке на деревянной ноге; и его любимым поэтом был Чарльз Буковски. В 1980-е, когда правили бал постпанк, с одной стороны, и бездушная пластиковая попса, с другой, - обратился к радикальному…

Mack The Life Lee Mack
ISBN: 9780552166553 Год издания: 2013 Издательство: Corgi Язык: Английский РазвернутьHave you ever wondered where comedians come from? Why is it that one person is a funny bloke down the pub while another actually makes a living by standing up in front of an audience telling jokes? And where does all that material come from? Well, young Lee McKillop used to wonder that too. Growing up in his parents’ pub, small and wiry in a world of bigger and chunkier specimens, Lee quickly learned that cracking jokes was a way to get attention. After a somewhat random series of jobs, which included being Red Rum’s stableboy and a bingo hall barman, it was as a Great Yarmouth holiday camp entertainer that he had his first crack at…

It's Lovely To Be Here: The Touring Diaries of a Scottish Gent James Yorkston
ISBN: 9780571272143 Год издания: 2011 Издательство: Faber & Faber РазвернутьPresented as a series of tour diaries, It's Lovely to be Here offers a mix of deadpan humour and wide-eyed wonder whilst mapping out the realities and endless disorientations of life on the road. By turns poignant, witty and philosophical, James Yorkston's account becomes an ongoing search for meaning in the lyrics, chords, bars and van window-views of a modern day troubadour. James' style of songwriting: self-aware, self-deprecating, conversational and highly romantic - paired with his gift for storytelling - has made a natural transition to the printed page. Like the man himself it is by turns amusing, charming and occasionally a little…

David Mitchell: Back Story David Mitchell
ISBN: 978-0007351725 Год издания: 2012 Издательство: HarperCollins РазвернутьDavid Mitchell, who you may know for his inappropriate anger on every TV panel show except Never Mind the Buzzcocks, his look of permanent discomfort on C4 sex comedy Peep Show, his online commenter-baiting in The Observer or just for wearing a stick-on moustache in That Mitchell and Webb Look, has written a book about his life. As well as giving a specific account of every single time he's scored some smack, this disgusting memoir also details: • the singular, pitbull-infested charm of the FRP (‘Flat Roofed Pub’) • the curious French habit of injecting everyone in the arse rather than the arm •…
