Thomas Dolby's hit songs "She Blinded Me with Science" and "Hyperactive!" catapulted him to international fame in the early '80s. A pioneer of New Wave and Electronica, Thomas combined a love for invention with a passion for music, and the result was a new sound that defined an era of revolutionary music. But as record company politics overshadow the joy of performing, Thomas finds a surprising second act.

Guided by Voices was one of the most popular indie-rock bands of the 1990s. Critics internationally have lauded the band's brain trust, Robert Pollard, as a once-in-a-generation artist. Pollard has been compared by The New York Times to Mozart, Rossini, and Paul McCartney (in the same sentence) and everyone from P. J.

Julius Malema refers to them scathingly as ‘The Stellenbosch Mafia’, the very worst example of white monopoly capital. But who really are these mega-wealthy individuals, and what influence do they exert?

Nel novembre 1838 da una cella della certosa abbandonata di Valldemossa, fra le montagne che circondano Palma di Maiorca, si diffondono le note di un "pianino". Non sono note qualsiasi: sono quelle che completeranno i ventiquattro "Preludi" di Frédéric Chopin, opera cardine del Romanticismo. Non è stato possibile trovare uno strumento migliore sull'isola, ma quel piccolo pianoforte, costruito da un artigiano locale, fatto di legno dolce, ferro, rame, feltro e avorio, avrà una grande vita.

C'entrava l'elettricità e la finestra chiusa per tenere fuori l'ammuina. E dentro la stanza avveniva lo spazio e il silenzio per farla suonare. Le canzoni come gli odori, e più della vista, affilano i ricordi.
