Story4.5 out of 5 stars 185
Whether you load your iPod with Bach or Bono, music has a significant role in your life - even if you never realized it. Why does music evoke such powerful moods? The answers are at last becoming clear, thanks to revolutionary neuroscience and the emerging field of evolutionary psychology. Both a cutting-edge study and a tribute to the beauty of music itself, This Is Your Brain on Music unravels a host of mysteries that affect everything from pop culture to our understanding of human nature.

Explica cosas básicas para no músicos y de allí ya puedes entender a lo que se refiere en los siguientes capítulos.
Vale la pena en audio para entender mejor cómo es una nota, el tono, etc.

Story4 out of 5 stars 9
As an industry insider and pioneering post-punk musician, Vivien Goldman’s perspective on music journalism is unusually well-rounded. In Revenge of the She-Punks, she probes four themes - identity, money, love, and protest - to explore what makes punk such a liberating art form for women. With her visceral style, Goldman blends interviews, history, and her personal experience as one of Britain’s first female music writers in a book that plays like a vivid documentary of a genre defined by dismantling boundaries.

Me encantó

La narración me parece tan natural y fabulosa, justo como si tuvieras a Vivien contándolo como si fueran amigas. Además se emociona cuando canta alguna parte de la canción que la que habla. Y me parece un buen resumen de varias mujeres clave dentro de la historia de la música.

Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf--ked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f--king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

Very easy listening, it helps you with some of the down times you may be going through. A slap on the face (ears). Sometimes you need someone to say stop thinking and start making, no matter what. I'll try to follow all the chapters.
Thanks, Gary

Best band book of all times
Reviewed: 07-03-19
I really liked the way they take you through all of the good and bad times. They acknowledge all the things they did wrong, and say sorry for that (not everyone does).
I cried in some chapters trying to remember Adam as if I ever knew him or something like that. They also kind of inspire you to make things, to always stay close to friends. Once a hardcore kid, always a hardcore kid. (no matter what genre of music you like, i think it's about the values of DIY, create community, you know... stay true).
I also loved hearing so many people narrating these chapters. I would love to see the photos. I know this is an audio book, but some pictures may be nice, don't you think? :P
