A celebration of the life, music, and poetry of Leonard Cohen.
No other contemporary songwriter has created a body of work of such consistent quality, and such singular emotional and intellectual brilliance, as Leonard Cohen. His smoke-black vocal style navigates the most sophisticated and arresting of melodies in songs infused with romance, innuendo, and humor. .Arriving at the ’60s pop-music party fashionably late, Cohen released his debut album—Songs of Leonard Cohen—in 1967.

FALL 2014 CATALOG 13 NOVEMBER The Art of Gothic Music + Fashion + Alt Culture by Natasha Scharf Backbeat Books
An open invitation for readers to embrace the dark side—the music, fashion, art, and beyond.
The gothic look—head-to-toe black attire and extreme makeup—has been a popular one since the 1980s, with each generation reinterpreting this dark aesthetic as its own. From the staccato postpunk of Siouxsie and the Banshees and the dark rock of the Sisters of Mercy through to the industrial metal of Marilyn Manson and the funereal emotional pop of My Chemical Romance, gothic culture has strong roots in music and continues to adapt and survive. But gothic art is about more than just album covers and ephemera; it’s about fashion, book jackets, cinematography, and fine art. Its influence frequently seeps MARKETING into mainstream culture, too. Nowadays, “goth” comes in many shapes, sizes, and even colors, as it encompasses a myriad of • Print and online publicity targeting music magazines, including Rolling Stone, Spin, Uncut, and Mojo subgenres, including cyber, death rock, gothic metal, gothic • Local, national, and satellite radio interviews with the author in Lolita, and emo goths.

The fascinating story of the hugely successful American band that defined life in the fast lane.
If the Beatles wrote the soundtrack of the swinging ’60s, then the Eagles did the same for the cynical ’70s. The story of the Eagles is also the story of most artists of their time—the drugs, the music, the excesses, and the piles of cash. But the Eagles took it to the limit. And in Don Henley and Glenn Frey they had two songwriters who intuitively understood and accurately portrayed the changing America they lived in. They perfected the California sound, shifted power from record company to artist, and pioneered album-oriented rock. Eagles songs of the period are as memorable as any ever written, and their most popular album, Hotel California, became a timeless record of ’70s decadence.

46 HAL LEONARD PERFORMING ARTS PUBLISHING GROUP SEPTEMBER Acting on the Script by Bruce Miller Applause Theatre & Cinema Books
The only script analysis book that focuses on what actors (and directors) must do in terms of analysis and synthesis.
Mastery of craft depends on repetition: the more opportunities student actors have to be guided through analyzing scripts, the more likely they are to develop a reliable process for making choices when the time comes to work independently. That’s why Acting on the Script contains eight short plays, which can be used independently or as parts of one full-length play, giving aspiring actors the practice they need to tell the story of the play and of their characters clearly, believably, and compellingly. With each new scene, readers are given the opportunity to think through the analysis and synthesis process independently, then they are guided clearly through that process. The first section reintroduces the basic elements of acting craft. The book then lays out how these elements relate to a script in general and then more specifically—by using a short play to illustrate the basic principles. The second section focuses on specific analysis and synthesis problems using original scenes especially composed to help students develop their analysis and choice-making skills and to address individual MARKETING acting issues. The plays, already tested in classes and two • Marketing promotions with AATE, ATHE, EdTA, and other educational theater organizations productions (one professional and one college), are filled with the kinds of acting problems that beginning actors often have • Excerpt, video promotion, and a guest post on StageNotes.net trouble with and need to learn to solve.

The first serious study of Beck’s life and work for more than a decade.
At a time in rock and pop history where most things in music have been done before, few artists have proved as restlessly innovative over the past two decades as Beck. Since bursting onto the scene in 1994 with “Loser”, he has zigzagged his way across the contemporary music landscape, consistently remaining one step ahead of the expectations and doing things his own way: shape-shifting from indie icon to pop crooner, from folk hobo to Latino-rap hipster, and dabbling in country, metal, blues, and rock along the way, balancing big-budget chart highs with lower-key, introspective acoustic albums. Beck hails from a family tree rich in music and performance art, which has filtered into his music, videos, and live work. Early shows included spoken word sections, songs made up on the spot, and stage clearances using his leaf-blower. His enthusiasm for the experimental has not diminished with age.

The latest offering from highly regarded filmmaker Wes Anderson.
The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of Gustave H (Ralph Fiennes), a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori), the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. Acting as a kind of father figure, M. Gustave leads the resourceful Zero on a journey that involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting; the battle for an enormous family for- tune; a desperate chase on motorcycles, trains, sleds and skis; and the sweetest confection of a love affair—all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent. Inspired by the writings of Stefan Zweig, The Grand Budapest Hotel recreates a bygone era through its arresting visuals and sparkling dialogue. The charm and vibrant colors of the film gradually darken with a sense of melancholy as the forces of history conspire against our hero and his vanishing way of life.
