Instead of sticking to the \"grunge pop\" formula that made Nevermind so palatable to the mainstream, Nirvana chose instead to challenge their audience, producing an album that the band's creative force, Kurt Cobain, said truly matched his vision of what he had always wanted his band to sound like. Here, the full story behind the creation of In Utero is told for the first time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eISBN: 978-0826417763\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50827066474628,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/E3521469-5186-4CC4-AEC2-507C5211E49A.jpg?v=1776186611"},{"product_id":"the-go-gos-beauty-and-the-beat","title":"The Go-Go's Beauty and the Beat ","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"about-the-book\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more\" data-action=\"read-more\" data-overviewlongdescription=\"null\" data-aboutthebook=\"true\" id=\"product-description-1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"aboutthebook\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eResonance: Great read.

The album spent six weeks in the number one spot on the Billboard charts, produced two hit singles and sold more than two million copies making it one of the most successful debut albums of all time. \u003ci\u003eBeauty and the Beat\u003c\/i\u003e made the Go-Go's the first, and to date only, female band to have a number one album who not only wrote their own songs, but also played their own instruments. \u003ci\u003eBeauty and the Beat\u003c\/i\u003e is a ground-breaking album, but the Go-Go's are often overlooked when we talk about influential female musicians. The Go-Go's were a feminist band and \u003ci\u003eBeauty and the Beat\u003c\/i\u003e a call to arms that inspired generations of women. The band embraced the DIY spirit of Riot Grrrl before there was a Bikini Kill or a Bratmobile. Girls making music on their own terms didn't start with Courtney Love or Beyoncé or Billie Eilish, it started with the Go-Go's. It started with \u003ci\u003eBeauty and the Beat\u003c\/i\u003e . While they may have controlled their music, the Go-Go's couldn't control the misogyny of the music industry, media and fans. The sexist and tired stereotypes the Go-Go's experienced 40 years ago still exist today. The legacy of \u003ci\u003eBeauty and the Beat\u003c\/i\u003e is both a celebration of how the record inspired countless girls to make art and music on their own terms, but also a painful reminder of how little has changed in how female musicians are marketed, manipulated, and discarded. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"aboutthebook\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"series-name\"\u003e \n\u003cb class=\"label\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec shippingdimensions-spec\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n \u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eShipping dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e : \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e6\" H x 5\" W x 1\" L\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec upc-spec\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n \u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/b\u003e : \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9781501390289\u003c\/span\u003e \n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50827248992388,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/CC237589-98C7-4630-A95C-4FAEE66A5C8A.jpg?v=1769549921"},{"product_id":"celine-dions-lets-talk-about-love-a-journey-to-the-end-of-taste","title":"Celine Dion's Let's Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste ","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"about-the-book\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more\" data-action=\"read-more\" data-overviewlongdescription=\"null\" data-aboutthebook=\"true\" id=\"product-description-1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"aboutthebook\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eResonance: Considered as the best one of the series.

Her intelligence, ambition and appetite for confrontation have made her a target in a music industry still dominated by men. As Kurt Cobain's wife she was derided as an opportunistic groupie; as his widow she is pitied, and scorned, as the madwoman in rock's attic. Yet Hole's second album, \u003ci\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/i\u003e , awoke a feminist consciousness in a generation of young listeners. \u003ci\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/i\u003e arrived in 1994, at a tumultuous point in the history of American music. Three years earlier Nirvana's Nevermind had broken open the punk underground, and the first issue of a zine called Riot Grrrl had been published. Hole were of this context and yet outside of it: too famous for the strict punk ethics of riotgrrrl, too explicitly feminist to be the world's biggest rock band. \u003ci\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/i\u003e is an album about girlhood and motherhood; desire and disgust; self-destruction and survival. There have been few rock albums before or since so intimately concerned with female experience.

Carefully peeling the layers from each song, Davis reveals their dark and often mystical roots—and leaves the reader to decide whether [FOUR SYMBOLS] is some form of occult induction or just an inspired, brilliantly played rock album. Excerpt: Stripping Led Zeppelin's famous name off the fourth record was an almost petulant attempt to let their Great Work symbolically stand on its own two feet. But the wordless jacket also slows the album charisma. Fans hunted for hidden meanings, or, in failing to find them, sensed a strange reflection of their own mute refusal to communicate with the outside world. This helped to create one of the supreme paradoxes of rock history: an esoteric megahit, a blockbuster arcanum. Stripped of words and numbers, the album no longer referred to anything but itself: a concrete talisman that drew you into its world, into the frame. All the stopgap titles we throw at the thing are lame: Led Zeppelin IV, [Untitled], Runes, Zoso, Four Symbols. In an almost Lovecraftian sense, the album was nameless, a thing from beyond, charged with manna. And yet this uncanny fetish was about as easy to buy as a jockstrap.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv class=\"series-name\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/en-ca\/33-1%2F3\" class=\"secondary series-name\" data-a8n=\"pdp_see-collection__link\"\u003e33 1\/3\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec publisher-spec\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n \u003cb class=\"label\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eContinuum: 33 1\/3\u003c\/span\u003e \n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec shippingdimensions-spec\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n \u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eShipping dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e : \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e6\" H x 5\" W x 1\" L\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec upc-spec\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n \u003cb class=\"label\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/b\u003e : \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e9780826416582\u003c\/span\u003e \n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50827299422340,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/616WyVugKYL._UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1751655428"},{"product_id":"kate-bushs-hounds-of-love","title":"Kate Bush's Hounds of Love ","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"about-the-book\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more\" data-action=\"read-more\" data-overviewlongdescription=\"null\" data-aboutthebook=\"true\" id=\"product-description-1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"aboutthebook\"\u003e \n\u003cstrong\u003eThis book charts the emergence of Kate Bush in the early-to-mid-1980s as a courageous experimentalist, a singularly expressive recording artist and a visionary music producer.\u003c\/strong\u003e Track-by-track comments focus on the experience of the album from the listener's point of view, drawing attention to the art and craft of Bush's songwriting, production and sound design.

When Johnny Cash signed to Rick Rubin's record label in 1993, he was a country music legend who, like his fellow Highwaymen Willie, Waylon and Kris, remained a fondly regarded yet completely marginalized Nashville figure, unheard on the radio and unseen on the charts. Cash's odyssey from oldies act to folk hero pivots on his first American Recordings album, a document of almost unbearable solitude and directness. It is a singular record, an instance in which a musical giant has been granted a kind of midnight reprieve, a chance to regain and renew his legend. Tony Tost illuminates the ways in which American Recordings is the crossroads where cultural, spiritual and mythic archetypes come together in the figure of The Man in Black. Ultimately, this is a guidebook to myth and mystery, a means of apprehending the stark beauty of Cash's greatest record, the sound of a man alone and fighting for his soul, one song at a time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 978-1441174611\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Librairie Résonance Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50827314987140,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/9801\/1780\/files\/9781441174611.jpg?v=1751656174"},{"product_id":"phishs-a-live-one","title":"Phish's A Live One","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eTwenty years after its release, Phish's double-CD collection\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Live One\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cspan\u003ehas something rare and precious going for it: it still doesn't sound like anyone else.
