  • Adversity for Sale: Ya Gotta Believe

    NEW YORK TIMES and WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

    To Jeezy’s legion of fans, his name is synonymous with hustle, grit, and the integrity to go out there and achieve your dreams. In his first book, Adversity for Sale: Ya Gotta Believe, Jeezy shares never heard stories of what it took for him to beat the odds and get out of the streets, his mindset he carefully honed to get an edge, and the lessons that changed his life and business.

    Born into poverty and raised in a small town in the middle of South Georgia’s so-called “Black belt,” Jeezy realized at an early age that nothing was going to come easy, there were no handouts headed his way, and if he ever wanted anything in life, he was going to have to get out there and get it on his own. So that’s what he did.

    Now, for the first time, Jeezy retraces his steps, going back to day one to share how he turned nothing into something, stayed solid, survived the trap, and triumphed over adversity to become the successful artist, father, husband, entrepreneur, and philanthropist that he is today.

    Adversity for Sale isn’t a street memoir. Like his music, these pages are filled with lessons from his deeply personal story to motivate you to go out and get after your dream.

  • Computing Taste: Algorithms and the Makers of Music Recommendation

    Meet the people who design the algorithms that capture our musical tastes.

    The people who make music recommender systems have lofty goals: they want to broaden listeners’ horizons and help obscure musicians find audiences, taking advantage of the enormous catalogs offered by companies like Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora. But for their critics, recommender systems seem to embody all the potential harms of algorithms: they flatten culture into numbers, they normalize ever-broadening data collection, and they profile their users for commercial ends. Drawing on years of ethnographic fieldwork, anthropologist Nick Seaver describes how the makers of music recommendation navigate these tensions: how product managers understand their relationship with the users they want to help and to capture; how scientists conceive of listening itself as a kind of data processing; and how engineers imagine the geography of the world of music as a space they care for and control.

    Computing Taste rehumanizes the algorithmic systems that shape our world, drawing attention to the people who build and maintain them. In this vividly theorized book, Seaver brings the thinking of programmers into conversation with the discipline of anthropology, opening up the cultural world of computation in a wide-ranging exploration that travels from cosmology to calculation, myth to machine learning, and captivation to care.

    01

    Would you like to spend some quality time with your child that would also be a lot of fun?

    1. While learning to play songs from this book on the piano, your child will develop finger motor skills and synchronize left and right hemispheres of the brain through simultaneous playing with both hands. These skills will teach coordination that is indispensable in everyday life situations, whether it is cooking, writing on paper, tying shoelaces, grabbing small objects, even closing the door and any other actions where finger work is involved.

    2. During the learning process the child will develop an ear for music and improve memory. Just imagine – your child will be able to create own melodies, compose music and songs on his or her own and thoroughly enjoy it! They will be happy they could take part in the process of creating music!

    3. The child will also develop a sense of rhythm and time. This, in turn, has a positive effect on the speech center of the brain as well as the smoothness of body movement in space. This can prove especially useful if your child might be engaged in dancing, running, rowing, or even regular walking – basically any physical activity where it is important to maintain the same rhythm for some time.

    4. All of this will allow your child to accomplish various tasks in life much faster and better and be happier and more successful than others, which is what every parent wants for their child!

    5. Additionally, playing the piano is really fun and cool! It is very satisfying and enjoyable!

    Click Add to Cart or Buy Now, get the book and start learning – and having fun – right away!

    The book contains 35 songs that are divided into two levels of difficulty (70 songs total).

    • Level 1 – just the melody from the song (playing right hand only)
    • Level 2 – melody + simple accompaniment (playing with both hands)
    • All note names are written out (so you could start playing right away)
    • Fingering is also provided for every song – this will keep the child from trying to play the music using one finger. Instead it teaches the child to use the correct sequences of fingers. This ensures proper development of all fingers allowing in the future to play more complicated pieces.

    Additionally, if you would like to practice sight-reading music or if you would prefer to write down your own fingering, the book contains links to downloadable printed materials without the names of the notes and fingering.

    Each song is accompanied by a QR code for the video (on YouTube) and audio (on Google Dick) of that song.

  • Asia: Every Album, Every Song (On Track)

    02
    A progressive rock supergroup? In the 1980s? Who would want such a thing critics asked, as they immediately went on the attack. But music fans disagreed. John Wetton, Geoff Downes, Steve Howe and Carl Palmer had played with the likes of King Crimson, Roxy Music, Yes and ELP to name just a few and they lived up to the supergroup tag. Asia’s self-titled debut album went to number one for nine weeks on the US charts, went top twenty in the UK and sold over ten million copies worldwide. Asia was all over MTV, had a sold-out world tour, several hit singles and a Grammy nomination. After 1983’s Alpha album, Wetton left to be replaced, bizarrely by Greg Lake was in, then Wetton was back and Howe was gone, replaced by Mandy Meyer for Astra in 1985. Fans needed a scorecard to keep track of it all, then the group split. Geoff Downes would struggle to keep the flame alive with John Payne from 1991-2005 until the original line up reunited in 2006 with newfound respect accorded them by both the media and fans until Wetton’s sad passing in 2017. This book covers every studio album as well as key live albums, compilations and solo projects in detail, making it a comprehensive guide to the music of this enigmatic and ever-changing band.

  • The Beach Boys: Pet Tracks

    The Beatles will be remembered, and rightly so, as the sociological phenomenon of the Sixties…but if you’re talking about music, it has to be Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys. That’s who they’ll be studying.” (Andrew G. Doe) The Beach Boys are one of the most celebrated bands in the history of pop music. In a career that began before the Beatles and lasted long after their demise, they were responsible for almost single-handedly spearheading a new music genre, and along the way creating what is still referred to as one of the greatest albums of all time, and another cited as one the greatest albums that never was. Over the subsequent years, the band has been the subject of countless books and essays by some of the most esteemed writers in the business, with both words and music scrutinised in the most finest of detail. But what of the stories behind the songs? This is a book that tells you all you need to know about what I consider to be their finest recordings – their inspiration; the writing and recording; the squabbles and controversies, and their ultimate success or failure. But most of all, it takes you inside the mind of one man, the band’s legendary leader, Brian Wilson, and a journey that began a little over half a century ago and now, and forevermore, is rightly acknowledged as a genius of his chosen art, and a man who truly “just wasn’t made for these times.

  • I Am Restored: How I Lost My Religion but Found My Faith

    When the challenges you’ve faced threaten to destroy your life, how do you find your way back to the truths you thought you believed?

    I Am Restored tells the untold story of how Lecrae’s past nearly ruined his future–until he learned that the wounds we carry can have the potential to be unlikely guides to healing and freedom for ourselves and others.

    Throughout I Am Restored, Lecrae documents the shattering yet hopeful story of how he faced the scars of his past–sexual abuse, physical trauma, addiction, and depression–and emerged more fully human than ever before. With remarkable transparency and vulnerability, Lecrae reveals that at the height of his professional success, his life was spinning out of control, driven by a past that he had never confronted and a religious perspective that was incapable of meeting the challenge.

    I Am Restored takes an unflinching look at the personal and public spaces that are too often at the societal core of our pain and heartache–culture, politics, family, church, and more–and teaches us that forgiveness can be the birthplace of the life that God has created for us.

    Throughout this powerful, deeply personal account, Lecrae shares the life lessons he’s learned about:

    • Confronting the pain and trauma that has shaped your story
    • Breaking the cycle of sin and shame and embracing joy and authenticity
    • Finding hope and healing in the midst of chaos
    • The simple practices that can change your mental, emotional, and spiritual health
    • Leading a life that’s bursting with creativity and true freedom

    I Am Restored is a hopeful, inspiring charge to start your journey to lasting healing today. No matter what your past has held, God is near you, he hears you, and he’s not done writing your story.

  • Over the Top and Back: The Autobiography

    08

    ‘For a lot of years, I’ve answered a lot of questions, but have never told my story before.’

    Across six decades, Sir Tom Jones has maintained a vital career in a risky, unstable business notorious for the short lives of its artists. With a drive that comes from nothing but the love for what he does, he breaks through and then wrestles with the vagaries of the music industry, the nature of success and its inevitable consequences. Having recorded an expansive body of work and performed with fellow artists from across the spectrum and across every popular music genre, from rock, pop and dance to country, blues and soul, the one constant throughout has been his unique musical gifts and unmistakable voice.

    But how did a boy from a Welsh coal-mining family attain success across the globe? And how has he survived the twists and turns of fame and fortune to not only stay exciting, but actually become more credible and interesting with age? In this, his first ever autobiography, Tom revisits his past and tells the tale of his journey from wartime Pontypridd to LA and beyond. He reveals the stories behind the ups and downs of his fascinating and remarkable life, from the early heydays to the subsequent fallow years to his later period of artistic renaissance.

    It’s the story nobody else knows or understands, told by the man who lived it, and written the only way he knows how: simply and from the heart. Raw, honest, funny and powerful, this is a memoir like no other from one of the world’s greatest ever singing talents.

    This is Tom Jones and Over the Top and Back is his story.

  • Gary Moore: The Official Biography

    08
    Gary Moore delighted entire generations with his passionate guitar playing, from the driving rock of Thin Lizzy in the 1970s to his explorations in subsequent decades of jazz fusion, heavy metal, hard rock, blues rock, and more. Throughout that time, he could be seen on the world s biggest stages, yet the real Gary Moore was always hidden in plain sight, giving little away. Now, however, through extensive and revealing interviews with family members, friends, and fellow musicians, acclaimed rock biographer Harry Shapiro is able to take readers right to the heart of Gary s life and career. Despite his early death in 2011, Moore still has legions of devoted fans across the world who will be enthralled by this unique insight into the life of a guitar genius who did it his way and whose music lives on. Beginning with Gary as a teenage guitar prodigy in war-torn Ireland and continuing through the many highs and lows of more than forty years in rock, Shapiro paints an intimate portrait of a musician widely hailed as one of the greatest Irish bluesmen of all time.
