Run the Song is also the story of how a professional critic, frustrated with conventional modes of criticism, finds his way back to a deeper relationship with music. When stumped or preoccupied by a piece of music, Ratliff starts to think that perhaps running can tell him more about what he’s listening to—let’s run it, he’ll say. And with that, the listener in turn is invited to listen alongside one of the great listeners of our day in this wildly inventive and consistently thought-provoking chronicle of a profoundly unsettling time.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Iată cum o cultură marginală, considerată încă "tânără“ după aproape 50 de ani de afirmare, inspiră o carte atât de bogată în informații. Ce-i drept, autorii au îndrăznit, iar îndrăzneala le-a fost răsplătită: fie că vorbim despre concertul lui Slick Rick din Roxbury, fie despre vizita la studioul RJam, aceștia au documentat fenomenul din interior, dezbrăcat de orice aparență sau prejudecată. Porniți într-o misiune eminamente imposibilă, autorii reușesc totuși să se apropie de esența rapului.

L'avvento di Internet ha rappresentato una vera e propria rivoluzione nel mondo della musica. L'opportunità strabiliante di usare linguaggi musicali provenienti da ogni tempo e luogo ha rimescolato il concetto stesso di composizione, aprendo un ampio ventaglio di fusioni stilistiche e contaminazioni. Ciò presuppone grande responsabilità da parte del compositore, nonché il rischio di incorrere nell'esplorazione superficiale di un catalogo cosí pericolosamente vasto, smarrendo un requisito fondamentale: il senso critico.

Since 1991, only three albums have sold more than 15 million copies---Metallica (Metallica), Come on Over (Shania Twain), and Jagged Little Pill, by Alanis Morissette. JLP won Grammys, Junos, and stayed in the Billboad 200 for more than a year. Megan Volpert works through Alanis Morissette's career via JLP, her best-known record. Each chapter dives into one of the 13 tracks from the album, dissecting that song while connecting to later work that extends the relevant theme.

In Bach, Beethoven and the Grrrls, the author turns his engaging and educating gaze on an area of classical music that has sadly been too long neglected – that of some of the great women composers. In briefly chronicling their lives, David maintains a light tone while striving to remain respectful of the women themselves, yet properly irreverent – at times even perhaps disdainful – of the societal and other forces that for far too long have kept these creative artists in the shadows of others.

Una Indagación Filosófica y Cultural sobre la Muerte de la Música. Este tratado filosófico de Halasius Bradford y provocador diseca la transformación de la música de una fuerza orgánica y mística a un producto mercantilizado, argumentando que la música moderna se ha reducido a simples patrones de sonido, despojada de su alma. Explorando las intersecciones entre la consciencia, la tecnología, el capitalismo y la expresión artística, La Música ha Muerto presenta una crítica radical y urgente sobre cómo la era digital ha reformulado el papel de la música en nuestras vidas.

You can’t truly understand the last decade of the 20th century without a look at the muddy, electrifying rock music that would come to define it: grunge. For such a short-lived genre—at least in the mainstream—grunge had a lasting impact on American music and culture. It also provides a unique lens through which to examine the post-Reagan, pre-internet America of the 1990s. In the six lectures of The Story of Grunge, you’ll explore the rise and evolution of the genre, tracing it from Seattle subculture to MTV and the Billboard charts, all the way to its decline and evolution into new forms.

En estas páginas, la exploración de la música latinoamericana conduce hacia la historia más amplia de la conceptualización de la región. Tal como sostiene Palomino: "La música proporciona así un modelo para comprender ahora los mecanismos nacionales y transnacionales que siguen produciendo el lugar de América Latina en el marco de la cultura global conflictiva y fascinante que habitamos".
