Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Song Noir examines the formative first decade of Tom Waits's career, when he lived, wrote and recorded nine albums in Los Angeles; from his soft, folk-inflected debut, Closing Time (1973), to the abrasive, surreal Swordfishtrombones (1983). Starting his song-writing career in the '70s, Waits absorbed LA's wealth of cultural influences. Combining the spoken idioms of writers like Kerouac and Bukowski with jazz-blues rhythms, he explored the city's literary and film noir traditions to create hallucinatory dreamscapes. Mixing the domestic with the mythic, Waits turned quotidian, autobiographical details into something more disturbing and emblematic; a vision of LA as the warped, narcotic heart of his nocturnal explorations.'--Provided by publisher.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - When rock 'n' roll burst into life in the 1950s the shockwaves echoed around the world, amplified by images of untamed youth projected on cinema screens. But for the performers themselves showbusiness remained in control, contriving a series of cash-in movies to exploit the new musical fad.0In this riveting cultural history, John Scanlan explores rock's relationship with the moving image over seven decades in cinema, television, music videos, advertising and YouTube. Along the way he shows how rock was exploited, how it inspired film pioneers, and, not least, the transformations it caused over more than half a century.0From Elvis Presley to David Bowie, and from Scorpio Rising to the films of Scorsese and DIY documentarists like Don Letts, this is a unique retelling of the story of rock - from birth to old age - through its onscreen life.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - We use salty or artful language to win arguments, slander, cheat and bully, as well as to express feelings of joy or frustration by swearing or blowing off steam. Rik Smits delves into the magic of oaths and profanity, art and advertising, the lure of fake-news and propaganda, as well as invective and off-colour jokes the world over. The book shows why conversation dies in crowded lifts, and what drives you to curse at your laptop. This is, when all is said and done, the story of how we get through life without coming to physical blows.
