Just add water and stir" This is the perfect memento or gift for any Bowie fan and an affectionate tribute to a true icon.

Twenty Chart-Topping Hits That Reveal the History of Pop Music

Beloved music critic Tom Breihan's fascinating narrative of the history of popular music through the lens of game-changing #1 singles from the Billboard Hot 100.



When Tom Breihan launched his Stereogum column in early 2018, "The Number Ones"--a space in which he has been writing about every #1 hit in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, in chronological order--he figured he'd post capsule-size reviews for each song. But there was so much more to uncover. The column has taken on a life of its own, sparking online debate and occasional death threats.



The Billboard Hot 100 began in 1958, and after four years of posting the column, Breihan is still in the early aughts. But readers no longer have to wait for his brilliant synthesis of what the history of #1s has meant to music and our culture. In The Number Ones, Breihan writes about twenty pivotal #1s throughout chart history, revealing a remarkably fluid and connected story of music that is as entertaining as it is enlightening.



The Numbers Ones features the greatest pop artists of all time, from the Brill Building songwriters to the Beatles and the Beach Boys; from Motown to Michael Jackson, Prince, and Mariah Carey; and from the digital revolution to the K-pop system. Breihan also ponders great artists who have never hit the top spot, like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and James Brown. Breihan illuminates what makes indelible ear candy across the decades--including dance crazes, recording innovations, television phenomena, disco, AOR, MTV, rap, compact discs, mp3s, social media, memes, and much more--leaving readers to wonder what could possibly happen next.

Limited Edition

The first five years were filled with high adventure, with dreams coming true, with new friendships beginning and old friendships growing. Most of all, though, the years were filled with music being made. We thought about songs night and day, chased the things. I was surrounded by songwriters, musicians, producers, engineers, managers, by people who lived to make music, and we got to see the world through songs. There were a lot of firsts, one after another: First time leaving Oklahoma for Nashville, first time hearing one of our songs on the radio, first time hitting number one. We won¿t ever get to go through all those firsts again, but this book is my chance to get together with the people who shared the experiences and together remember how it all went down. This book gathers what comes to our minds when we think of the first five years and the songs that came to life during that time.Inside these pages you¿ll find the music that got released in those first five years, five CDs of it. But you¿ll also find a few recordings that we¿ve never shared, some of my favorites. You¿ll find photographs that have never been made public, behind-the-scenes images from before the first record and others from during the journey. There are artifacts from the vaults, things I¿ve saved myself, bits and pieces of this history that mean a lot to me. I¿ve always wanted to bring people closer to what I saw, what I experienced. This feels like the closest I¿ve come to doing just that.

All Year Long

Did you ever
dream of talking to a mermaid?

Can you imagine
facing off with a bully who
barely reaches your knees?

What would you do
with a box of golden coins?

Have you ever
said thank you to...a button?

And how would you respond if you met a magic genie who asked you for a handout instead of granting you a wish?

Free to Be...You and Me creator Marlo Thomas has once again produced a joyful volume for children and the grown-ups in their lives. Reaching into the heads and hearts of our most acclaimed writers, artists, and performers, Thanks & Giving celebrates the best things in life -- family, friendship, giving, thankfulness, and love (and just for fun, a few of their opposites -- stinginess, bullying, ingratitude, and the occasional urge to stamp your feet and throw a fit).

From Tiger Woods and Maurice Sendak to Hilary Duff and Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo, this colorful collection of stories, poems, and songs will take readers on a lighthearted and thoughtful (but never overserious) adventure. Whether you're gazing at the brilliant child's-eye paintings of illustrator Eric Carle, or laughing out loud at the off-the-wall humor of Mel Brooks, you'll enjoy every step of the magical journey that the creators of Thanks & Giving have planned for you:

* Delight in Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's fractured fable starring a mouse, a bird, and a sausage who learn all about sharing -- the hard way.

* Hold on tight as Rosie Perez recounts the tale of a little girl confronted with a heart-stopping decision.

* Rock along with Kevin and Michael Bacon's funky valentine to sibling rivalry and brotherly love.

* And laugh with Ray Romano as he reveals how his life was changed by a giant burrito.

Designed for both cover-to-cover reading and selective excerpting (when you can't refuse that last impassioned call for "One more story!" just before lights-out), this sparkling anthology also includes marvelous contributions from Avi, Shel Silverstein, Tom Chapin, Arthur creator Marc Brown, Matt Groening, Deepak Chopra, Donald Trump, Frankie Muniz, Walter Dean Myers, Paul Newman, Sumner Redstone, Jerry Pinkney, Whoopi Goldberg, Sonia Manzano, the Sesame Street Muppets, Julianne Moore, Ed Koren, Wendy Wasserstein, and Paul O. Zelinsky.

An a&R Woman's Story of Surviving the Music Industry

"Dorothy Carvello knows all about the music biz. She was the first female A & R executive at Atlantic Records, and one of the few in the room at RCA and Columbia. But before that, she was secretary to Ahmet Ertegun, Atlantic's infamous president, who signed acts like Aretha Franklin and Led Zeppelin, negotiated distribution deals with Mick Jagger, and added Neil Young to Crosby, Stills & Nash. The stories she tells about the kingmakers of the music biz are outrageous, but it is her sinuous friendship with Ahmet that frames her narrative. He was notoriously abusive, sexually harassing Dorothy on a daily basis. Still, when he neared his end, sad and alone, Dorothy had no hatred toward him--only a strange kind of loyalty. Carvello reveals here how she flipped the script and showed Ertegun and every other man who tried to control her that a woman can be just as willing to do what it takes to get a hit. Never-before-heard stories about artists like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Steven Tyler, Bon Jovi, INXS, Marc Anthony, and many more make this book a must-read for anyone looking for the real stories about what it takes for a woman to make it in a male-dominated industry."--Provided by publisher.

A Short History of Music

"An extraordinary anthology of reminiscences by a wide-ranging group of people?journalists, musicians, impresarios, or chance acquaintances?who were fortunate enough to have met the reclusive and secretive composer at various moments during his long life. It is without doubt the most fascinating and revealing book ever compiled about this elusive figure who took infinite pains to hide his true personality from posterity.... The entire book has been brilliantly researched, organized and edited by Marcello Conati.... Each entry has a relevant place within the chronology of Verdi's life, and every reference to an unfamiliar event or name in the text is elaborately explained in the copious footnotes, which often form little informative articles in themselves.... On every page, Verdi's warmth, humanity, keen perceptions and fierce artistic independence shine through the words of these observers, who without exception help sharpen our own understanding of the composer."

The Little Book of Opera celebrates the sublime marriage of words and music that has dazzled audiences with an unparalleled parade of both high and low drama since the sixteenth century. This volume collects enchanting and engaging pieces by celebrated writers, including Willa Cather's striking tale of a stuffy businessman's infatuation with a prima donna, Richard Wagner's memorable tirade on the subject of conducting, and Edith Wharton's satirical look at old New York society through the prism of the opera house. With an eye uplifted to this most sublime of arts, this book takes readers from the orchestra pit to the family box to the stage itself.
