Book Description
On a steamy trip to Bangkok, anything can happen, and a man can be whoever he wants to be In order to get away from a stream of meaningless flings, Gerry heads to the Far East, down to the sweltering shores of Bangkok, to get some time for himself. He’s searching for a love that is truly real—one that will last. When he receives a cordial invitation written on heavily crested stationery, he is thrust into a passionate journey from which there will be no recovery. The sender of the invitation is international playboy and gossip-paper fixture Ernst von Hallers. Born to a family of incredibly rich industrialists, Ernst cuts a truly dashing figure. Traveling the world on his boat, with a collection of attractive young men at his call, Ernst represents everything Gerry is not, while acting the part of someone Gerry wishes he could be. When Ernst brings Gerry into his life, both men must look within themselves and each other to truly see what pleasure and love are.

Book Description
For his 2007 critically acclaimed 33 1/3 series title, Let's Talk About Love, Carl Wilson went on a quest to find his inner Céline Dion fan and explore how we define ourselves by what we call good and bad, what we love and what we hate. At once among the most widely beloved and most reviled and lampooned pop stars of the past few decades, Céline Dion's critics call her mawkish and overblown while millions of fans around the world adore her “huge pipes” and even bigger feelings. How can anyone say which side is right? This new, expanded edition goes even further, calling on thirteen prominent writers and musicians to respond to themes ranging from sentiment and kitsch to cultural capital and musical snobbery. The original text is followed by lively arguments and stories from Nick Hornby, Krist Novoselic, Ann Powers, Mary Gaitskill, James Franco, Sheila Heti and others. In a new afterword, Carl Wilson examines recent cultural changes in love and hate, including the impact of technology and social media on how taste works (or doesn't) in the 21st century.

Book Description
"Non-fans regard Dion as ersatz and plastic, yet to those who love her, no one could be more real, with her impoverished childhood, her (creepy) manager-husband's struggle with cancer, her knack for howling out raw emotion. There's nothing cool about Dion, and nothing clever. That's part of her appeal as an object of love or hatred - with most critics and committed music fans taking pleasure (or at least geeky solace) in their lofty contempt. This book documents Carl Wilson's brave and unprecedented year-long quest to find his inner Dion fan, and explores how we define ourselves in the light of what we call good and bad, what we love and what we hate."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Book Description
High school student Ryuuichi and his best friend Yuuji couldn't be more different, except for their mutual love of music - particularly western hard rock music, something that few Japanese bands have tried to imitate by the time the 80s roll around. It's been Yuuji's and Ryuuichi's goal to start a band that follows in the footsteps of the groups they admire most, but when the looming specter of approaching adulthood responsibility begins to challenge their friendship in ways they never thought possible, it looks like their dreams might remain only dreams forever. Will they be able to figure out what's really important to them in life before temporary obstacles turn into lifelong regrets?

Book Description
Music in the Post-9/11 World addresses the varied and complex roles music has played in the wake of September 11, 2001. Interdisciplinary in approach, international in scope, and critical in orientation, the twelve essays in this groundbreaking volume examine a diverse array of musical responses to the terrorist attacks of that day, and reflect upon the altered social, economic, and political environment of "post-9/11" music production and consumption. Individual essays are devoted to the mass-mediated works of popular musicians such as Bruce Springsteen and Darryl Worley, as well as to lesser-known musical responses by artists in countries including Afghanistan, Egypt, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, and Senegal. Contributors also discuss a range of themes including the role played by Western classical music in rites of mourning and commemoration, "invisible" musical practices such as the creation of television news music, and implicit censorship in the mainstream media. Taken as a whole, this collection presents powerful evidence of the central role music has played in expressing, shaping, and contesting worldwide public attitudes toward the defining event of the early twenty-first century.
