Simon Critchley first encountered David Bowie in the early '70s, when the singer appeared on Britain's most-watched music show, Top of the Pops. His performance of "Starman" mesmerized Critchley: it was "so sexual, so knowing, so strange". Two days later Critchley's mum bought a copy of the single; she liked both the song and the performer's bright orange hair (she had previously been a hairdresser). The seed of a lifelong love affair was thus planted in the mind of her son, aged 12.

De parecido modo a como refiere Homero en la odisea al dar noticia del irreprimible deseo que apodérase de Ulises —embriagarse con los cantos de las sirenas—, no es menos cierto que pocos son los que se resisten al embrujador encanto del acervo musical de Cuba; trasunto "afrocañí" de la isla de las sirenas por cuyas entrañas fluyen y concluyen tantas tradiciones musicales de Ultramar.

A menudo olvidadas, casi siempre ignoradas, muy raramente reconocidas. Este ha sido el estado de la cuestión femenina en la música hasta hace bien poco. Consideradas meras intérpretes, musas o, simplemente, condimento visual en las actuaciones de los hombres, las pocas pioneras que se atrevieron a adentrarse en la industria musical sufrieron ostracismo y desprecio, cuando no fueron condenadas al más oscuro rincón de la memoria historiográfica si no pasto del más inmisericorde anonimato.

L'arte è fuori di sé perché sta vivendo una crisi d'identità senza precedenti, ingabbiata in un sistema autoreferenziale per addetti ai lavori, pilotato più da logiche di mercato e di immagine che da una sincera ispirazione, lontano dal vissuto e dalle sensibilità della gente. L'arte è fuori di sé perché sono esplosi tutti i codici e i confini. Il pubblico e gli stessi studiosi faticano a valutare che cosa sia arte e cosa non lo sia, e molti la confondono con la pubblicità, il design, la comunicazione, o con la mera replica di frammenti di realtà.

Throughout his genre-defying career as one of the most innovative musicians of our time, iconoclastic guitar player Marc Ribot has consistently defied expectation at every turn. Here, in his first collection of writing, we see that same uncompromising sensibility at work as he playfully interrogates our assumptions about music, life, and death. Through essays, short stories, and the occasional unfilmable film "mistreatment" that showcase the sheer range of his voice, Unstrung captures an artist whose versatility with words rivals his dexterity onstage.

Ronnie Gilbert had a long and colorful career as a singer, actor, playwright, therapist, and independent woman.

Why has music so often served as an accomplice to transcendent expressions of gender? Why did the query "is he musical?" become code, in the 20th century, for "is he gay?" Why is music so inherently queer? For Sasha Geffen, the answers lie, in part, in music’s intrinsic quality of subliminal expression, which, through paradox and contradiction, allows rigid gender roles to fall away in a sensual and ambiguous exchange between performer and listener. Glitter Up the Dark traces the history of this gender fluidity in pop music from the early 20th century to the present day.
