Описание: In the '80s, the Birmingham, England, band Duran Duran became closely associated with new wave, an idiosyncratic genre that dominated the decade's music and culture. No album represented this rip-it-up-and-start-again movement better than the act's breakthrough 1982 LP, Rio. A cohesive album with a retro-futuristic sound—influences include danceable disco, tangy funk, swaggering glam, and Roxy Music's art-rock—the full-length sold millions and spawned smashes such as "Hungry Like the Wolf" and the title track.
However, Rio wasn't a success everywhere at first; in fact, the LP had to be buffed-up with remixes and reissued before it found an audience in America. The album was further buoyed by colorful music videos, which established Duran Duran as leaders of an MTV-driven second British Invasion, and the group's cutting-edge visual aesthetic. Via extensive new interviews with band members and other figures who helped Rio succeed, this book explores how and why Rio became a landmark pop-rock album, and examines how the LP was both a musical inspiration—and a reflection of a musical, cultural, and technology zeitgeist.

Описание: From the bestselling author of Love Is a Mix Tape and Turn Around Bright Eyes, "a funny, insightful look at the sublime torture of adolescence."Entertainment Weekly
The 1980s meant MTV and John Hughes movies, big dreams and bigger shoulder pads, and millions of teen girls who nursed crushes on the members of Duran Duran. As a solitary teenager stranded in the suburbs, Rob Sheffield had a lot to learn about women, love, music, and himself. And he was sure his radio had all the answers.
As evidenced by the bestselling sales of Sheffield's first book, Love Is a Mix Tape, the connection between music and memory strikes a chord with readers.
Talking to Girls About Duran Duran strikes that chord all over again, and is a pitch-perfect trip through '80s music-from Bowie to Bobby Brown, from hair metal to hip-hop. But this book is not just about music. It's about growing up and how every song is a snapshot of a moment that you'll remember the rest of your life.

Описание:
...and so, the Wind was Born was originally meant to be a book of love poems, but as the book began to evolve on its own, it became about the healing aspects of love and the many shapes that love takes. The main character, based on me (a queer genderfluid poet and artist healing from their trauma), discovers that they are wind and wonders what type of wind they are. This character begins to think about how the wind might also be Mon Coeur, because they feel the wind around them every time Mon Coeur is near. At first the two wind characters are learning who they are outside of their trauma, but the character based on me and my experiences is struggling to let go of the past and searching the present for love. It takes this character a while to get past the desire and need to be accepted by others and to feel validated. However, my character thinks they destroy everything in their path--especially love-- because they fear not being good enough or strong enough or loving enough, but after many tries comes to find that she/he is more than the wind--they are love and it is important to free themself. They discover who they really are beyond titles. It is by stripping away titles to find that there is something much deeper and more powerful than romance, but friendship and sangha. The trials and tribulations of the two characters show us how love not only heals two people in a relationship but can extend beyond self and couples, but into family and community. Which allows my character to eventually discuss their desire to help heal the world around them through love, friendship, community, and connection. This book of poetry shows us how love is an ouroboros, constantly reshaping our love for ourselves and others and making room for more-it is limitless and ineffable. It shows us how we are all connected and that love of self is love for others, and vice versa. Mon Coeur teaches my character that love is how we survive and strive through the liminal. She teaches me that endings are beginnings, and that life has just begun.
