I'd always wanted to play guitar but had never got round to it and was worried that I'd be no good. Having bought this book, I need not have worried. It very gently lowers you into the world of Guitar playing at your own pace, and you can stop using the book and play about a bit whenever you want. When you then want to go back and pick up the next stage it's like going back to an old friend. I...
I was given this hefty book for Christmas. Five days later I have just finished it, and I've read one of my other Christmas presents in the meantime.
Alex Ross is one of the wisest music critics I have read. He appears to have listened to more or less everything and read more or less everything there is to read about the music - and "the music" in this instance consists not just of...
This is a, hate to say it, "must have" buy for all Luke Haines fans. That said, every release by the man has fallen into the category, but this, his first foray into print, is a real treat. It would work for both the devotee and the casual music fan, as a historical, completely biased treatise on that most diabolical of concepts, Britpop.
Really disappointed with this, received this as a present and was looking forward to some traditional Carribean recipes. However, tipping half a bottle of shop bought sauce over some chicken isn't really my idea of cooking.
As someone who has followed Girls Aloud passionately since they very first got together on Popstars The Rivals, I feel this book is long overdue. Other reviews say this book lacks substance but I wonder what they expect, the girls to all criticise each other and cause rifts when they are still very much together!?!
Its basically the story right from the start and there was a lot in there that...
For my English Lit A level I am currently studying this text. When reading this (if you decide to) the first thing to remember is that the poetic style were purely experimental and thus meant to be taken lightly. That is important to bare in mind because you might be reading it and thinking what is this.
The collection is written predominately by Wordsworth (only 4 Coleridge poems are...
I got this book as a birthday present and my first thoughts were: am I going to understand any of this? Isn't it just going to take away from the joy of listening if I know the reasons why I respond in certain ways - like revealing how a magic trick is done?
The answers to these questions came fast. Yes, I could understand all of it. Having little to no knowledge of science or biology,...
I want to learn piano myself and so does my 8 year old so I bought a few books, but this has been the best by a long shot, even for my old age group. I did music in school, never piano though, and after two weeks I'm playing the likes of Strangers in the Night and Annie's Song - very slowly though, so I'm no genius.
Anyway, the book is engaging, facts are so well presented and absorbed...
