Schmuck ist und bleibt eine Säule der Hiphop-Kultur - egal, ob es um diamantenbesetzte "Grillz", überdimensionale "truck style"-Anhänger, bust down-Rolex- und Patek Phillippe-Uhren, oder eine Tiffany-Halskette geht. Der exzessive Bling ist das glitzernde Statement einer kollektiven Identität - kompromisslos, charismatisch und mit viel Street-Smartness.Ice Cold. A Hiphop Jewelry History umspannt die gesamte Geschichte des Hiphop-Schmucks von den 1980ern bis heute - es ist die fantastische Verbindung des Hiphop-Narrativs und seiner Visualisierung. Hunderte von ungewöhnlichen Fotos präsentieren alle wichtigen Hip-hopkünstler und feiern "Ice" als den Ausdruck der Identität und Selbstdarstellung.Nach den Anfängen mit Run-DMCs goldenen adidas-Anhängern und Eric B. & Rakims pompösen Dookie-Ketten und Mercedes-Medaillons entwickelt sich der Hiphop-Schmuck vom Street-Accessoire zu einer boomenden Designkultur. Die Tradition des Schaulaufens erreicht neue Höhepunkte mit Künstlern wie Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Gucci Mane, und Cardi B, deren immer exklusiveren Schmuckstücke Motive aus der Popkultur integrieren, unkonventionelle Materialien verwenden und wiederholt auch Kollaborationen mit Künstlern wie Takashi Murakami eingehen.Die Autorin Vikki Tobak zeigt mit vielen Beispielen die Arbeiten von Schmuckpionieren wie Tito Caicedo of Manny's, Eddie Plein, und Jacob the Jeweler bis hin zu neueren Künstlern wie Avianne & Co., Ben Baller/IF & Co., Greg Yuna, Johnny Dang, Eliantte und vielen mehr.Ice Cold ist die umfassende Schau eines schillernden, inspirierenden Stils, zu der die führenden zeitgenössischen Fotografen beitragen: Wolfgang Tillmans, Janette Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, Timothy White, Gillian Laub, David LaChapelle, Danny Clinch, Phil Knott, Raven B. Varona, Al Pereira, Albert Watson und viele andere.Das Vorwort von Slick Rick und Essays von A$AP Ferg, LL COOL J, Kevin "Coach K" Lee und Pierre "P" Thomas von Quality Control Music nehmen uns auf eine sehr persönliche Reise in ihr Schmuck-Universum mit.Ice Cold geht dabei weit über den ostentativen Bling hinaus, um dessen transformative Geschichte zu enthüllen, die sowohl laut als auch stolz ist.

Den russiske komponist Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov forvandler i Scheherazade sultanens hustru til en soloviolin, der tryllebinder den hævnlystne ægtemand med 1001 nats eventyr. Hans landsmand, Modest Musorgskij, inviterer med fantasifuld musik lytterne til en kunstudstilling i Udstillingsbilleder. Franske Hector Berlioz maler med hele symfoniorkestrets farvepalet, når han i Symphonie fantastique fortæller, hvordan en kunstner bliver ulykkeligt forelsket, tager opium i fortvivlelse og siden med grotesk marchmusik bliver en hallucineret tilskuer til sin egen henrettelse.I Når musikken fortæller guider Leif Balthzersen lytteren og læseren igennem 75 klassiske værker og sørger for en endnu større musikoplevelse i koncertsalen eller derhjemme. Udvalget strækker sig over 200 år af musikhistorien – fra forårets fuglekvidder i Antonio Vivaldis udødelige violinkoncerter De fire årstider over Bedřich Smetanas strømmende flod i tonedigtet Moldau til George Gershwins jazzede oplevelser i En amerikaner i Paris.Leif V.S. Balthzersen er mag.art. i musikvidenskab og tidligere musikchef for Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester og Aarhus Symfoniorkester og har udgivet bøger om Mozarts operaer og Richard Strauss’ orkesterværker. Han er en efterspurgt foredragsholder på Folkeuniversitetet og højskoler samt i oplysningsforbund over hele landet og har arbejdet med musikformidling i over 30 år.

Den lange mørke nat ved historiens afslutning er nødt til at blive forstået som en enorm mulighed. Den kapitalistiske realismes omsiggribende undertrykkelse betyder, at selv små glimt af politiske og økonomiske muligheder kan få en uproportionelt stor effekt. Den mindste begivenhed kan rive et hul i det grå forhæng, som har markeret handlingsmulighedernes horisont under den kapitalistiske realisme. Fra en situation, hvor intet nogensinde kunne ske, er alting pludselig muligt igen.

An insider's take on the evolution and enduring legacy of the music that rocked the twentieth century

A memoir from internationally renowned singer Martha Wainwright.

'Nobody owes us anything, but the Simple Minds story has been too condensed. After Live Aid and 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' there hasn't been quite the credit for those first few records. I think they contain some really special music. I can hear the flaws but there's something about the spirit and imagination in them that feels good. They draw from such a wide range of influences ... but the spirit of it was always Simple Minds.' Jim Kerr, to the authorAn illuminating new biography of one of Britain's biggest and most influential bands, written with the full input and cooperation of Simple Minds, shedding new light on their dazzling art-rock legacy.Themes for Great Cities features in-depth new interviews with original band members Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill, Mick MacNeil and Derek Forbes, alongside key figures from within their creative community and high-profile fans such as Bobby Gillespie, James Dean Bradfield and Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite. The book reclaims and revivifies the magnificence of Simple Minds' pioneering early albums, from the glitchy Euro-ambience of Real to Real Cacophony and Empires and Dance to the pulsing, agitated romance of Sons and Fascination, New Gold Dream and beyond.Emerging in 1978 from Glasgow's post-punk scene, Simple Minds transitioned from restless art-rock to electro futurism, mutated into passionate pop contenders and, finally, a global rock behemoth. They have sold in the region of 60 million records and remain a worldwide phenomenon. The drama of their tale lies in these transformations and triumphs, conflicts and contradictions.Themes for Great Cities tells the inside story of a band becoming a band. Inspiring, insightful and enlightening, it celebrates the trailblazing music of one of Britain's greatest groups.
