Your Song Changed My Life: From Jimmy Page to St. Vincent, Smokey Robinson to Hozier, Thirty-Five Beloved Artists on Their Journey and the Music That Inspired It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 511min
From the beloved host and creator of NPR's All Songs Considered and Tiny Desk Concerts comes an essential oral history of modern music, told in the voices of iconic and up-and-coming musicians, including Dave Grohl, Jimmy Page, Michael Stipe, Carrie Brownstein, Smokey Robinson, and Jeff Tweedy, among others - published in association with NPR Music. Is there an unforgettable song that changed your life? NPR's renowned music authority Bob Boilen posed this question to some of today's best-loved musical legends and rising stars. In Your Song Changed My Life, Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), St. Vincent, Jónsi (Sigur Rós), Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Cat Power, David Byrne (Talking Heads), Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Jenny Lewis, Carrie Brownstein (Portlandia, Sleater-Kinney), Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), Colin Meloy (The Decemberists), Trey Anastasio (Phish), Jackson Browne, Valerie June, Philip Glass, James Blake, and other artists reflect on pivotal moments that inspired their work. For Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, it was discovering his sister's 45 of The Byrds' "Turn, Turn, Turn". A young St. Vincent's life changed the day a box of CDs literally fell off a delivery truck in front of her house. Cat Stevens was transformed when he heard John Lennon cover "Twist and Shout". These are the momentous yet unmarked events that have shaped these and many other musical talents and, ultimately, the sound of modern music. A diverse collection of personal experiences both ordinary and extraordinary, Your Song Changed My Life illustrates the ways in which music is revived, restored, and revolutionized. It is also a testament to the power of music in our lives and an inspiration for future artists and music lovers.

Die Erfolgsreihe von Colin Meloy in einem Band Das Leben der zwölfjährigen Prue verläuft völlig normal. Zumindest bis ihr geliebter kleiner Bruder Mac eines Tages von einer Schar Krähen in die Lüfte gehoben und in die Undurchdringliche Wildnis verschleppt wird, ein großes und dicht bewachsenes Waldgebiet am Rande von Portland. Um ihren Bruder zu retten, überschreitet Prue die Grenzen des Waldes und entdeckt eine unglaubliche Welt ...---Nach ihren Abenteuern im geheimnisvollen Wildwald kann sich die zwölfjährige Prue nur schwer wieder an den Alltag gewöhnen: Die Schule, die sie früher geliebt hat, langweilt sie plötzlich. Ständig muss sie an ihren Freund Curtis denken, der jetzt als tapferer Räuber in der Undurchdringlichen Wildnis lebt. Kein Wunder, dass Prue keinen Augenblick zögert, in das geheimnisvolle Waldreich zurückzukehren, als Curtis sie um Hilfe bittet. Denn ganz Wildwald droht für immer von der Landkarte getilgt zu werden...---Für die zwölfjährige Prue und ihren besten Freund Curtis, die schon einmal die Undurchdringliche Wildnis und ihre geheimnisvollen Bewohner vor dem Untergang bewahrt haben, brechen noch längst keine ruhigeren Zeiten an: So erweckt ein unbedachtes Experiment einen bösen Geist aus der Vergangenheit zum Leben. Eine Bande von Waisenkindern macht sich auf den Weg in die Industriewüste, um ihre dort gefangen gehaltenen Freunde zu befreien. Und der alte Ratsbaum stößt düstere Prophezeiungen aus, in denen die Rede von einem Roboterprinzen ist, der die Welt retten wird. Einmal mehr müssen Prue und Curtis in die Tiefen des Wildwalds reisen - mit all seinen eigenwilligen Bewohnern, bei denen man oft erst im letzten Augenblick weiß, woran man ist ...Wird es ihnen diesmal gelingen, die dunklen Mächte für alle Zeiten zurückzudrängen?- Shop: buecher

What A Terrible World, What A...
Knapp vier Jahre nach dem überaus erfolgreichen Album "The King Is Dead" melden sich The Decemberists mit ihrem siebten Studioalbum zurück. "The King Is Dead" machte die Indie-Folk-Band 2011 in den USA zu Stars: Die Platte stieg von null auf eins in die US-Charts, und der Song "Down By The Water" wurde für einen Grammy nominiert. Nach einer großen Tour entschloss sich die Gruppe aus Oregon, eine Pause einzulegen. Ohne allerdings von der Bildfläche zu verschwinden: Ihre animierten Alter Egos traten bei den "Simpsons" auf, für den Soundtrack von "Hunger Games" lieferten sie den Song "Our Engine", Songwriter Colin Meloy veröffentlichte die prämierte Kinderbuchserie "Wildwood", und es erschien das Livealbum "We All Raise Our Voices To The Air". "What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World" entstand in verschiedenen Sessions über eineinhalb Jahre, erscheint aber dennoch intimer und dichter als je ein Decemberists-Album zuvor. Was vor allem an Meloys Texten liegt, die weniger narrativ sind und mehr von persönlichen Erfahrungen zeugen.- Shop: odax
