'A tome finally worthy of Lou Reed’s gang. Do What You Fear Most is the most comprehensive and compelling yet on the stealthy, stupendously influential band' Record Collector, 5*****No band has reshaped the possibilities of popular music like The Velvet Underground. Formed in New York in 1965, the Velvets emerged from the nexus of art, fashion, politics, music and counterculture.Although widespread popularity and acclaim evaded them during their four-album lifespan, their enduring, cross-generational appeal meant the Velvets could count iconic contemporaries like Leonard Cohen, David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix as fans, alongside future legends such as Roxy Music, the Pretenders and Sonic Youth.Do What You Fear Most chronicles how an unlikely group of upstarts came to define the musical zeitgeist. In a sprawling and engrossing narrative, Richie Unterberger follows the group from their disparate origins to their ascendancy as Andy Warhol's Factory house band in New York City. It explores the creative alchemy between the core trio of Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico, the shocking exits and ever-changing lineups, as well as the wider New York cultural scene of the period.Rigorously researched and packed with previously undocumented insights, this book features many first-hand interviews with the group's associates, as well as material newly unearthed from the Lou Reed Archive and the Andy Warhol Archive, alongside never-before-seen images and ephemera. This is the most complete story of The Velvet Underground to date.

"en gripande berättelse om identitet och att hitta ljuset i en mörk tillvaro." - BTJ
"I den välskrivna och avväpnande uppriktiga biografin Soltimmar varvar Victoria Bergsman minnesbilder från barndomen ... och ett liv i musikvärlden." - Jan Gradvall
Hon är rösten på ”Young Folks”. Kvinnan i New Order-videon. Sångerskan längst fram på Glastonburys scen.
Hon är också barnet som gömmer sig för gubbars bläckfiskarmar, den unga tjejen som navigerar i tillvaron på psyket. Hon är kvinnan som är hög och medvetslös efter en Late Night-spelning, på ett flygplan, på ett hotellrum.
I sin självbiografiska debutbok Soltimmar väver Victoria Bergsman samman barndom, ungdom och vuxenliv. Musiken finns där hela livet. Från pappans egenkomponerade sånger, till den första regndränkta spelningen med The Concretes, turnélivet med Peter Bjorn And Johns världssuccé och ruset i att skapa egen musik med Taken By Trees. Musiken gör allt möjligt, toppar och dalar, framgångar och fritt fall.
Soltimmar är en smått psykedelisk berättelse om ett liv, och alla de jag som ryms i en människa. Den är skriven med en ärlighet så stark att den bränns, och med en humor som svalkar.
Resa mot okänt mål : Kenny Håkansson och den progressiva musikens framväxt i Sverige
Häftad, Svenska, 2025
429 kr
Gitarristen Kenny Håkansson har med sitt unika spel satt ett betydande avtryck i svensk musik. Likt tusentals tonåringar bildade han i mitten av 1960-talet ett band när den brittiska pop- och rockvågen sköljde in över Sverige. Snart tog han steget vidare och utforskade nyfiket olika musikaliska uttryck, inte minst den svenska folkmusiken.
Som tongivande medlem i band som Baby Grandmothers, Mecki Mark Men, Kebnekajse och Dag Vag befann sig Kenny i centrum för en ny, säregen musik som växte fram i brytpunkten mellan 60- och 70-tal – och som fortfarande lockar nya lyssnare från världens alla hörn.
I bokens historiska berättelse följer Håkan Thörn Kenny Håkanssons musikaliska resa 1965–1980, den svenska progressiva musikens guldålder.
Fotograf Katarina Despotovic skildrar samtidigt Kenny Håkansson som en intensivt turnerande musiker under 2020-talet.
Förordet är skrivet av M. A. Numminen, finsk musiker och språklig ekvilibrist som först såg Kenny spela på Klubb Filips i Stockholm 1967.
Boken är formgiven av Spektra design.

‘The closest we’ll ever get to a straight up Bowie autobiography — but who’d ever want anything straight-up from Bowie?’ – Rolling StoneIn 2002, David Bowie and Mick Rock created Moonage Daydream, the defining document of the life and times of Ziggy Stardust. Twenty years later, it remains the closest readers will get to understanding Bowie through his own words.Alongside over 600 photographs taken by Mick Rock, Bowie’s personal and often humorous commentary gives unprecedented insight into his work and the creation of his most memorable persona. Readers can see how Bowie singlehandedly challenged and elevated 1970s culture through his style, his inspirations ranging from Kubrick to Kabuki, and his creative spirit, which endures through the decades. Moonage Daydream is the essential David Bowie book.First published as a signed limited edition, Moonage Daydream sold out in a matter of months and became lore among David Bowie fans. Now, on the 50th anniversary of Bowie’s acclaimed album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, the book is available again. Published in a new larger format, this uncut edition keeps to Bowie and Rock’s original vision, allowing us to explore Moonage Daydream the way the authors intended.‘This is a book of extraordinary photographs. Ziggy Stardust blazed briefly but intensely, and I am delighted to see his life and times as a rock’n’roll star immortalised in this book.’ – David Bowie

'Cognitive Dissident is an evocative, often sad, but properly fascinating story' Bob Stanley, Saint EtienneCognitive Dissident may begin in the music biography tradition, but it quickly becomes something deeper. Borne out of years of conversation and collaboration between Matt Johnson (the creative force behind THE THE) and writer Jason Wood (Executive Director at the BFI), it expands into a work that is philosophical, cultural, and socio-political in scope.The story traces Johnson's childhood growing up above one of East London's most famous pubs, his early international success in music, followed by his sudden disappearance for decades. Then in 2017, The Inertia Variations project brought about an extraordinary creative rebirth, leading to THE THE's return: The Comeback Special World Tour, live album and film, the release of Ensoulment - their first new album in 25 years - and the acclaimed Ensouled World Tour. Along the way, it illuminates Johnson's evolution from the post-punk DIY scene to his many collaborations with producers, musicians, and cultural icons, as well as the influence of literature, art, and cinema that has always shaped his vision.Through these conversations with Matt Johnson - a working-class auto-didact who achieved success and ultimately career control on his own terms - this book by extension is also a meditation on family, friendship, creativity, conservation, gentrification, geopolitics, love and loss.'Matt Johnson will always be the intrepid London boy with a music soul & and the man of many worlds with a writer's heart' Johnny Marr

For fans of Dan Ozzi's Sellout and Ben Mezrich's The Antisocial Network comes the true story of a Boston punk's efforts to fund a hardcore record label by hawking "Yankees Suck" merchandise in the streets. While the Boston Red Sox battle it out on the field in an attempt to finally win their first World Series title in nearly 90s years, the would-be punk music mogul and his raucous group of friends navigate newfound riches and delicate relationships with the Boston cops, competitors, a violent gang, and each other.For eighty-six years Boston Red Sox baseball fans lived in the shadow of their rivals, the New York Yankees, who more or less dominated the sport each season. Red Sox fans grew dejected as their team often got close, but ultimately would be eliminated from contention each year as New York went on to win yet another World Series championship. Author Chris Wrenn, a member of the Boston hardcore punk scene, had a dream of his own-to start his own record label. Embracing the do-it-yourself ethos of the scene, Chris set out to make it happen, networking and forging relationships with local bands. But such an endeavor required money he didn't have ... until he and his friends heard a familiar phrase echo out of Fenway Park, the home field of the Red Sox. The phrase "Yankees Suck!" was chanted at every single Red Sox game. Possessing the wherewithal to produce inexpensive merchandise and the free time to stake a claim to the sidewalks outside the baseball stadium, Chris and his crew of punks began a lucrative endeavor of selling "Yankees Suck" merchandise such as stickers and T-shirts to the fans. While navigating cops, competitors, a violent gang, and in-fighting within the crew, Wrenn and his friends turned Boston's rivalry with New York into "six-figure summers," affording him the capital to launch Bridge Nine Records and bring local Boston hardcore bands including American Nightmare and Have Heart to stages worldwide just as the Red Sox got closer than ever to finally winning the World Series again. A rousing story of entrepreneurship and ingenuity that also reveals fresh insight into one of the most epic rivalries in sports history, Fenway Punk is a gripping read for both fans of punk music and readers of Ben Mezrich, Lizzy Goodman, and Chuck Klosterman.

An Independent Book of the Month“A superb biography” William Boyd“(A) bold and enlightening exploration of Bowie's later career. Sensitive, witty and often very affecting” The Times“A genuine must buy, as rich in critical appraisal as it is in personal history *****” Classic Pop“An engrossing, entertaining and informative read” Classic RockA major new biography of David Bowie on the 10th anniversary of his death, exploring the second half of his career from commercial failures to critical rebirth in the 21st century.When David Bowie died on 10 January 2016, aged 69, his death was greeted with the greatest display of public mourning since Princess Diana three decades before.Twenty-five years before, Bowie appeared to be washed up. His Eighties career had been a slow descent into self-parody, his attempts to diversify into hard rock with the had been disastrous, and the art-rock music with which he had made his name was badly out of fashion. The Thin White Duke needed a miracle if he was not only going to be able to assume his rightful place at the top of the rock music firmament, but even to continue his career. And a miracle – a resurrection from the dead – is precisely what happened.Lazarus: The Second Coming of David Bowie is the first biography of Bowie that tells the full and candid story of what happened in between those two apparently unbridgeable points. With new and exclusive interviews with the musicians, filmmakers and cultural figures who worked with and befriended Bowie throughout this period, Lazarus is the definitive account of the previously overlooked and fascinating latter half of a great and distinguished career. A career that climaxed with his final masterpiece, Blackstar, and the unprecedented theatrical flourish of his departure from the stage as he passed into legend.

Birdnest records startade 1983 under namnet BIRDSKIT RECORDS i mitt pojkrum. Lagret fanns länge under min säng. Med tiden växte både bolaget och visionerna och namnet ändrades till BIRDNEST RECORDS och blev under 90-talet ett av sveriges största skivbolag i punkgenren. Vi vill med denna bok berätta om bolaget som på många sätt förändrade inte bara mitt liv utan även en massa andra människors, mitt i det stora och andras lite mer i det lilla. Det är också en historia om hur musikindustrin genomgick inte bara en utan två stora förändringar. Först med CD-formatets intåg och sedan med hur vi idag streamar musik online. Bolaget finns i allra högsta grad även om vi idag inte gör lika mycket väsen av oss. Vi har därför valt att kalla projektet "Boken om BIRDNEST RECORDS från 1982 till framtiden". / Per Granberg 2024
