Paperback. Condizione: New. "You've Got Michael" tells the inside story of the high-stakes battle to save Michael Jackson's career and market his 1995 greatest hits album, HIStory, as documented by the record executive closest to him.While detailing the inner workings of the music business at its mega-platinum peak, "You've Got…Michael" is also a gripping drama about working with a global talent through the most difficult time in his career.In 1991, Dan Beck -- a senior marketing executive at Epic Records in New York -- became Michael Jackson's product manager, with direct responsibility for the artist's record packaging, publicity, videos, retail strategy and contact with the label. The story he tells here is of the five years in that role, dealing with Jackson's unchecked ambition, surprising need for reassurance and increasing challenges to his career, many of them self-induced. Beck recounts his often surprising (if sometimes dismaying) experiences with clear-eyed objectivity, seeing Jackson as both a superstar and a real person."If you thought there was nothing more to learn about Michael Jackson, Dan Beck has news for you. Beck worked as a product manager for Jackson's HIStory project and has gripping tales to tell. Not the sordid revelations you already know, but the day-to-day agonies and occasional ecstasies of being on the front lines as the career of the biggest pop star in the world goes up in flames. His torn professional and personal loyalties are so easy to relate to - uncomfortably so. Beck writes with honesty, clarity and force; the only sensationalism comes from your own memories of Jackson's highly public self-incineration." -Anthony DeCurtis, author of Lou Reed: A Life.

Paperback. Condizione: New. New York City in the 1960s was a musical melting pot, in which folk, RandB, rock and roll, blues, girl groups and Brill Building pop produced a wealth of great artists and records. This book tells their story.Using numerous new interviews with major figures from the time as well as contemporaneous tra…de magazines and other sources, author Mitchell Cohen captures this rich (but often underestimated) musical era's history and sounds. He chronicles the arrival of new artists on the scene - bands like the Lovin' Spoonful, the Young Rascals, the Blues Project, the Shangri-Las and the Vagrants - as well as solo artists from Dion to Darin to Dylan and the local producers, songwriters and label executives who all helped shape the music. He also explores the role TV, radio and the press all played to show not only what was going on, but how it was being promoted, exploited and attacked.An acclaimed music journalist and former record company talent scout, Cohen lived in New York when all this was happening and adds his own memories to those he interviewed. The result is illuminating, entertaining and sure to be both informative and nostalgic for anyone who remembers songs like "Do You Believe in Magic," "Groovin'," "Good Lovin'," "Like a Rolling Stone," "Summer in the City," "Chapel of Love" and "In the Midnight Hour."Includes an extensive, annotated discography of albums and 45s and a bibliography.Fans will find that this book details a lot of what they might have long forgotten about one of the most vibrant and influential eras in American rock and roll. It adds to the scholarship regarding New York culture and will send readers scurrying to play these old songs."It was such an exciting time for music, and Mitchell brings it vividly to life." -Clive Davis. author of The Soundtrack of My Life"Mitchell Cohen, as always, connects the dots from the perspective of a true believer in rock and roll . Wake Me, Shake Me is music history told with much insight and detail." -Dion DiMucci, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and author of Dion: The Rock and Roll Philosopher"Cohen puts a decade of profound musical change into celebratory perspective . A bravura accomplishment." -Lenny Kaye, rock guitarist, author of Lightning Striking: Ten Transformative Moments in Rock and Roll"Cohen writes about the breadth of New York's music with all the noise, animation and attitude of the city itself." -Jim Farber, music journalist (New York Times, The Guardian)"Cohen conjures the hustle, magic and ecstasy of Gotham's groove during one of its most happening eras with a helping of context that makes it all come alive." -Dennis Diken of the Smithereens"A wonderful love letter to the chaos, craft and blind faith behind the music of '60s New York." -Sam Hollander, songwriter, author of 21 Hit Wonder: Flopping My Way to the Top of the Charts.

Paperback. Condizione: New. New York. In the first collection of his essays, outspoken critic Tim Sommer challenges some conventional beliefs about rock and explains how left-of-the-dial music in the '80s turned a generation of awkward loners into a cultural community.Sommer is a musician, journalist, record producer and radio D…J. He was an on-air news correspondent for MTV and VH1 and later did AandR for Atlantic Records, where he signed, among others, Hootie and the Blowfish.Dispatches From the Kingdom of Outsiders contains dozens of fervent and often surprising takes on music, culture and politics, offering a powerful and entertaining corrective to the timidity of so much modern music journalism.From his precocious emergence as a teenaged rock writer, Sommer describes the Zelig-like experiences of his life, mounts controversial arguments about well-known artists, connects music and politics in unexpected ways and reflects on a handful artists whose deaths affected him.Grouped into seven themed sections, the book covers U2 and R.E.M. to the Beatles and Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan to Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen. It also includes in-depth interviews with Dave Davies of the Kinks and a previously unpublished interview with Mark E. Smith of the Fall.Sample chapter titles: I Was Almost a Temporary Beastie BoyMeet the Beatles' First Left-Handed BassistWhat Was the First Punk Rock Record?Weezer's cover of Toto's "Africa" Is the Most Repugnant Pop Recording of All TimeHow Kent State Helped Create the Template for American Indie RockWith its diverse collection of subjects and entertaining opinions, this colorful, rollicking collection of writing will appeal to (and perhaps infuriate) a wide variety of music fans.Billy Idol: "Tim Sommer goes deep on a whole century of rock and pop culture, from Bowie to Buddy Bolden, Spike Milligan to Taylor Swift, and everything in between. Punk was always a state of mind, as much as a sound or a look, and this book is punk AF."Thurston Moore, co-founder of Sonic Youth: "It was the pleasure of noise, be it from the margins or from the mainstream, that inspired Tim to pontificate so excitedly. While his "dispatches" are modestly critical and discerning, they are essentially informed by joy, an aspect of shared dialogue utterly welcoming -- and one the world necessitates now more than ever."Geoff Edgers, national arts reporter, The Washington Post and author of Walk This Way: Run-DMC, Aerosmith, and the Song That Changed American Music Forever: "Sommer is a throwback to when people writing about music wrote whatever they wanted, took shocking takes not to garner social media attention but because they really believed in them, and did not worry about industry repercussions. He's also a little insane. This is a truly original document of the kind of smart, free, joyous writing we so rarely find anywhere today. Tim Sommer writes because he has to, not because he's trying to impress anyone, and his takes -- on the Beatles, Glenn Branca, Kent State and just ab.
