(This title is available on demand: expected date of dispatch will be 4-7 working days once ordered) "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Paint It Black," "Satisfaction:" you know all the words but how much do you really know about the inspiration behind them? Or how their melodies were created? All artists reveal themselves through their work and the Rolling Stones are no different: each song exposes a little more of their soul. Rocks Off promises to reveal that soul by deconstructing their best tunes from their incredible fifty years of record making. Written by Stones fanatic, musician, and writer Bill Janovitz, this is a song-by-song chronicle that maps the landmarks of the band's career while expanding upon their recording and personal history through insightful and energetic prose. With its conversational tone - much like friends pouring over old records on a Saturday afternoon - the book presents the musical leaps taken by the band and a discussion of how the lyrical content both reflected and influenced popular culture. The song choices - fifty in all - are chronological and subjective; most of them are the classic hits, however, the book digs deeper into beloved album tracks and songs with unique stories behind them. Looking through the prism of the Stone's music in a fresh way, Rocks Off is the ultimate listening guide and thinking man's companion that will spur readers to dust off those old albums and listen in with a new-found perspective on one of the most famous and acclaimed rock 'n' roll bands of all time.

 Dali The Emporda Triangle - Sebastia Roig - 2003 - Paperback in excellent condition. The Empord triangle, like its notorious sister the Bermuda Triangle, outlines a space where unusual things happen. In this case, that space is the land surrounding three major landmarks of Salvador Dali's life: his house at Port Lligat, its front door guarded by a stuffed bear; the castle of Pbol, where he lived in his old age and where his wife Gala is buried; and the Dalu Theatre-Museum of Figueres, where he himself is buried. Some of these landscapes and buildings recur in Dali's work, and each of the buildings constitutes a work in itself. Enticing, wide, glossy landscape photographs throughout The Empord Triangle constitute a tour of these three centers of Dal'nian experience.
