The Land Without Music
Examines the trajectories, linearities and paradoxes which have constituted contemporary British music. Provides an account of how British music came to be what it is in the 1990s.
Popular Music
"Is there too much music? There has never been so much music available to so many for so little cost, and the availability of video isn?t far behind. The ubiquitous iPod, the mobile phone, in-car entertainment and the portable computer mean that we can tailor-make our own audiovisual environments, wherever we are. In the home, on the street, in the mall and on the beach, personalised music is anywhere and everywhere. So why are music companies suing their customers? Why is there a panic in the mobile phone industry? Why are so many people afraid of noise? This book looks at the spectacular growth in the availability of music, the ways in which the traditional music industry has fought to retain its control, and the ways in which the rest of us ? that's anyone who composes, arranges, performs, samples, remixes, playlists, and just plain listens to music ? use music in this age of abundance."--Publisher's website.
The Irresistible Rise of Harry Potter
As the British state begins to unravel, and as journalists compete to pronounce on the death of Britain, a schoolboy from suburban Surrey who lives for most of the year in a semi-parallel universe becomes the most popular figure in contemporary world literature. Now read on – everyone else does... Harry Potter is English, a home-counties suburban child. An orphan, oppressed and abused by the adults around him, he retreats into a fantasy world where his problems are more elemental; everyday rituals, magic spells and supercharged broomsticks with only the occasional homicidal wizard to worry about. Ironically, as Andrew Blake makes clear, J. K. Rowling rescues her character through the reinv...
All Over But the Shooting
Fifteen minutes after Arab Blake joined her husband Andy in Washington, she managed to get him conked into insensibility. And the moment he rose from the sidewalk he found himself entangled in a spine-tingling spyhunt! The trail led to the strange house on Q Street from which War Department workers vanished into thin air. It took Andy to a barricaded cellar from which he escaped by pretending to be a corpse. And it brought him finally to a secret radio sending station on a deserted strip of New Jersey coast, where anything could happen—and plenty did! As usual, the lid is off whenever lovely Arab Blake is on the loose. And in All Over But the Shooting—a riotous mystery novel if ever there was one—Arab actually surpasses her past achievements!

Lay that Pistol Down
Andy Blake is no sooner married to Arab that he realizes his home is not a love nest but an arsenal. True, the fragile, blonde Arabella had won prizes only in shotgun contests, but she didn’t discriminate against rifles and pistols. As Andy wistfully says, ''The worst thing about Arab’s guns is that they come in handy. She can track down trouble the way a detector spots land mines.'' Andy and Arab are plunged into this bang-up mystery when they attend an auction sale where a pistol starts a bidding contest between two oddly assorted customers. Andy, who also knows his guns, is sure that the pistol isn’t worth more than thirty bucks. He is therefore both flabbergasted and interested to ...
