Lou Reed on the wild side
Le 27 octobre 2013, le monde du rock est en deuil. Lou Reed, surnommé le « King of New York » par son ami David Bowie, s’est éteint à l’âge de 71 ans. On associe souvent le Velvet Underground et le tube « Walk on the Wild Side » à ce grand musicien et compositeur new-yorkais, mais son œuvre est bien plus étendue et riche que cela. Sous forme de biographie discographique, cet ouvrage plonge le lecteur dans la réalisation de chaque album, du premier opus du Velvet Underground en 1967 à la sortie de l’album « Lulu » en 2010, que Lou Reed avait cosigné avec le groupe Metallica. À travers une analyse détaillée de chaque album, parsemée d’anecdotes ainsi que de nombreux...
Queen Unseen - My Life with the Greatest Rock Band of the 20th Century: Revised and with Added Material
Imagine being alongside one of the greatest bands in the history of rock, touring the world and being there as they perform at some of the best and biggest music venues in the world. Peter Hince didn't have to imagine: for more than a decade, he lived a life that other people can only dream of as he worked with Queen as head of their road crew. In 1973, Queen was the support act for Mott the Hoople, for whom Peter was a roadie. Back then, Queen had to content themselves with being second on the bill and the world had not yet woken up to the flamboyant talent of Freddie Mercury. Peter started working full time for Queen just as they were making A Night at the Opera, the album which catapulted them to international stardom. In this intimate and affectionate book, Peter recalls the highlights of his years with the band. He was with Freddie when he composed 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love'; he was responsible for making sure that Freddie's stage performances went without a hitch - and was often there to witness his famed tantrums! He was also party to the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll which are invariably part of life on the road with a rock band.
CAMION BLANC
Tommy Bolin n’a jamais eu l’audace de revendiquer le trône laissé vacant par Hendrix mais c’est peut-être le seul musicien à avoir perpétué de façon naturelle sa quête. Ouvert aux nouvelles expériences, aux nouvelles sonorités, aux nouveaux styles, toujours à mi-chemin entre le monde du Rock et l’expérimentation du nouveau Jazz, il aura par moments merveilleusement combiné les atouts de l’un et de l’autre pour faire naître quelque chose de nouveau et d’exaltant. Mais sa musique n’était pas qu’un concept intellectuel, elle savait aussi garder la fraîcheur et la simplicité qui font de certaines œuvres des succès. Si, plus de trente ans après sa mort, on continue à travers le monde à s’enthousiasmer pour Tommy Bolin, c’est parce que sa musique est restée d’une incroyable actualité et qu’elle avait une âme sur laquelle le temps n’a pas eu de prise.
Cell-surface Aminopeptidases
This book offers unique content for both basic and clinical scientists around the world with an interest in cell-surface peptidases. The book focuses on five cell-surface peptidases, namely neutral endopeptidase (NEP)/CD10, aminopeptidase N (APN)/CD13, aminopeptidase A (APA)/BP1, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV)/CD26, and placental leucine aminopeptidase (PLAP)/insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP), which are members of the type II membrane-bound peptidase family. It reviews the recent progress in these peptidases as well as their peptide substrates, and explores their physiological and pathological significance. Key features include: a new insight into the regulation of blood pressure and peripheral vascular systems; research into a new mechanism for insulin-responsive glucose transport and its application for the treatment of diabetes; and understanding of the new mechanisms of cell-survival peptidase involvement in human tumor progression
The Handbook of Culture and Biology
A comprehensive guide to empirical and theoretical research advances in culture and biology interplay Culture and biology are considered as two domains of equal importance and constant coevolution, although they have traditionally been studied in isolation. The Handbook of Culture and Biology is a comprehensive resource that focuses on theory and research in culture and biology interplay. This emerging field centers on how these two processes have evolved together, how culture, biology, and environment influence each other, and how they shape behavior, cognition, and development among humans and animals across multiple levels, types, timeframes, and domains of analysis. The text provides an ...
