George Clinton and The Cosmic Odyssey

Kris Needs

Omnibus Press
2014
nidottu
The first in-depth biography of one of music's most fascinating, colourful and innovative characters. This book is the most comprehensive history yet of the life, music and cultural significance of the last of the great black music pioneers and the era which spawned him. Clinton stands alongside James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone as one of the most influential black artists of all time who, along with his vast P-Funk army took black funk into the US charts and sold out stadiums by the mid 1970s with his mind-blowing shows and legendary Mothership extravaganzas. The book contains first hand interview material with Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey, Junie Morrison, Bobby Gillespie, Afrika Bambaataa, Jalal Nuriddin (Last Poets), Juan Atkins, John Sinclair, Rob Tyner (MC5), Ed Sanders (The Fugs), Chip Monck ("The Voice of Woodstock") plus other P-Funk associates and friends. The book presents an insiders' view of the rise of Parliament and Funkadelic from the doowop era and LSD-crazed early shows through to P-Funk's huge rise, the era of the Mothership and beyond.

Dream Baby Dream: Suicide

Kris Needs

Omnibus Press

sidottu
Appearing in early 70s New York City as primal prototype street punks, Suicide are now hailed as one of the most important and influential groups of the 20th century, inspiring that decade's major musical movements but too feared and shunned to be awarded their rightful acclaim at the time. Confronting shocked audiences with their electronic "New York blues", singer Alan Vega and instrumentalist Martin Rev fearlessly mirrored the city's sleazy underbelly and decay on blood-freezing gutter-scapes such as 'Ghost Rider' and 'Frankie Teardrop' while invoking doo-wop purity on timeless love songs like 'Cheree' and 'Dream Baby Dream'.The book charts Suicide's uncompromising roller coaster from formative days in performance art and avant garde experimentation to chaotic early shows at drug-infested downtown hotbed the Project of Living Artists.Along with detailed accounts of Suicide's influences, contemporaries and environment which spawned them, the book will position the duo as one of New York's most pivotal but derided outfits as the story moves through their pioneering first album, 1978's shockingly violent UK tour supporting The Clash and subsequent recordings, live sorties and respective parallel solo careers, going up to the present day. The author's eye witness accounts and extensive first-hand interviews with Alan Vega and Martin Rev are joined by conversations with producers Craig Leon, Marty Thau and Bob Blank, contemporaries including Blondie, Jayne County and the New York Dolls and fans such as Nick Cave, Bobby Gillespie and The Clash; adding to a definitive account of this most unique group. With an introduction by Lydia Lunch

Drawing upon extensive new first hand interview material from Debbie Harry, Chris Stein and many other significant players in the band's long history, a huge archive of personal materials and unpublished interviews, Blondie: Parallel Lives is the definitive eye-witness account of the group's long and often tumultuous existence. Beginning with their childhoods, backgrounds and influences, the book is also an evocative homage to the unique New York scene of the 1970s.

How Debbie Harry set her career aside to nurse Chris through a debilitating and life-threatening genetic disease.

Always steered by Alex Paterson, The Orb were the mischief-making pioneers of the late 80s acid house revolution. Inventing "ambient house", they took it to the top of the charts, before continuing its idiosyncratic flight path through subsequent decades, battling meteor storms en route. Babble On An' Ting, the first full account of Paterson's life, written by long-time friend Kris Needs in close collaboration with Alex, reveals a frequently astonishing journey from traumatic childhood through punk, Killing Joke and KLF to starting The Orb in 1988, then the five decade roller coaster that followed. Moving, shocking, hilarious and inspiring, at the heart of this story lies a true survivor doggedly following their musical passion. First-hand interviews include those with Youth, Andrew Weatherall, Primal Scream, Jah Wobble, Jimmy Cauty and a parade of friends, collaborators and starship mechanics.

Kris (1934) handlar om Malin Forst, Karin Boyes alter ego. Forst är ung och hängivet gudstroende, hon hamnar i en depression som hon tolkar religiöst. Hon upplever inte längre en gudsnärvaro. Forst blir förälskad i en kvinna för första gången, vilket dämpar hennes samvetskval och oro. Kris är ett modernistiskt formexperiment som varvar två olika typer av partier. I det ena får vi följa Malins inre liv och utveckling. I andra stycken är olika livshållningar representerade; läsaren når även kunskap om Forsts liv via insprängda prosadikter, citat ur brev och dagböcker... För de som tidigare endast stiftat bekantskap med Boyes poesipärlor utgör Kris en utmärkt introduktion till hennes prosa.

KARIN BOYE kom ut med denna sin tredje roman Kris 1934. Den är ett modernistiskt formexperiment. Hon kände ett inre tvång att skriva romanen och försöka förstå sig på sina egna inre kval. Malin Forst är ett alter ego i romanen. Boken kom ut tretton år efter de egentliga händelserna. Karin Boye hade tagit studenten och började på lärarseminariet. Under året, i sin sena tonårstid, drabbades hon av både fysiska och psykiska kval. Hon var djärv som satte sig upp mot olika auktoriteter. När det i Sverige fortfarande var olagligt med homosexualitet bejakade Malin Forst sin förälskelse i en studiekamrat. Och när hon var en av den kvinnliga rektorns favoritelever trotsade hon ändå henne, hon hävdade att psykologi var viktigare än kristendom. Uppgörelsen med den bokstavstrogna religionen eskalerade under seminarieåret. Extramaterialet i denna specialutgåva är två förord, det ena av LENNART KOSKINEN, före detta biskop på Gotland, och det andra av BIRGITTA HOLM, professor i litteraturvetenskap vid Uppsala universitet. Också brev och dikter av Karin Boye ingår, precis som funderingar författarkollegan HARRY MARTINSON hade om Karin Boyes livssituation. KARIN BOYE (1900-1941) tillhör våra klassiska författare, både med ofta citerade dikter och romanen Kallocain. När hon vann ett nordiskt pris 1931 för sin debutroman Astarte var hon en etablerad författare. Snart följde fler romaner, bland annat Kris, och sist men inte minst Kallocain. På Lindelöws bokförlag finns också ett urval av hennes mer okända noveller, med titeln Snäckors sorl. Plus de tre romanerna.
