An entertaining look at the changing face of the Eurovision Song Contest and the political and cultural influences behind its kitsch and glitzy facade.Do you think the world of the Eurovision Song Contest, with its crazy props, even crazier dancers, and crazier still songs has nothing to do with serious European politics? Think again. The contest has been a mirror for cultural, social, and political developments in Europe ever since its inauguration, when an audience in dinner jackets and ball gowns politely applauded each song. It has been a voice of rebellion across the Iron Curtain, an inspiration for new European nations in the 1990s and 2000s, the voice of liberation for both sexual and regional minorities. It even once triggered a national revolution.Eurovision! charts both the history of Europe and the history of the Eurovision Song Contest over the last six decades, and shows how seamlessly they interlink - and what an amazing journey it has been.

Babysalmesang med mere behandler babysalmesangaktiviteten ud fra en teoretisk og en praktisk synsvinkel og indeholder liturgier med konkrete forslag til salmer og tekstlæsninger. Babysalmesang er folkekirkens største succes i nyere tid, men er babysalmesang egentlig en aktivitet i kirken eller en kirkelig aktivitet? Dette spørgsmål satte de to forfattere i gang med at gentænke og reorientere babysalmesangsaktiviteten. Ud fra overvejelser om, hvorvidt babysalmesang reelt er en måde at gå i kirke på for de forældre, der uge efter uge kommer med deres barn i kirken, har de arbejdet med at tilrettelægge babysalmesang inden for en liturgisk ramme, der er genkendelig, ligesom søndagsgudstjenestens ramme er det for kirkegængerne.Pressen skriver:Særdeles relevant og meget let anvendelig.- Kirke.dkVirkelig fornyelse og spændende læsning.- Organist.org

Mastermind . . . satiated with virtuosity, controversy, stubbornness, and poise . . . His influence on Music transcended any and every category given titles by industry wizards and musicologists. Pop, Rock, Rhythm & Blues, Classical, Funk, Jazz, Soul, and Rap . . . He did it all and he did it well . . . and in his time . . . He did it first,? writes Randee St. Nicholas. For twenty-five years, this legendary photographer, with a storied career of her own, worked closely with Prince, capturing some of his most intimate and revealing moments both on and off stage.

When he would call . . . you had to be ready for anything . . . to jump on a plane with an hour or two notice, to put together a crew in a city you had never worked in before without any preparation time . . . or to simply just go outside your house at four in the morning where he was parked in his car, waiting for you to get in and listen to new music he had just recorded. One never knew what to expect . . . but it was always an inspired adventure.Told through 384 pages of striking visuals and poignant, intimate stories, the insights revealed in My Name Is Prince show a side of the enigmatic megastar that few have ever seen.We go beyond the genius and meet the man?playful, moody, disciplined, sensual, serious, and soulful.

As the mother of hip-hop superstar Kanye West, Donda West has watched her son grow from a brilliant baby boy with all the intimations of fame and fortune to one of the hottest rappers on the music scene. And she has every right to be proud: she raised her son with strong moral values, teaching him right from wrong and helping him become the man he is today. In Raising Kanye, Donda not only pays homage to her famous son but reflects on all the things she learned about being his mother along the way. Featuring never-before-seen photos and compelling personal anecdotes, Donda's powerful and inspiring memoir reveals everything from the difficulties she faced as a single mother in the African-American community to her later experiences as Kanye's manager as he rose to superstardom. Speaking frankly about her son's reputation as a "Mama's Boy," and his memorable public outbursts about gay rights and President George W. Bush, Donda supports her son without exception, and here she shares the invaluable wisdom she has taken away from each experience -- passion, tolerance, patience, and above all, always telling the truth. Ultimately, she not only expresses what her famously talented son has meant to her but what he has meant to music and an entire generation.

Billie Koppel er datter af hjertet bag The Savage Rose, Annisette og Thomas Koppel. Men hun er helt sin egen. I denne erindringsbog, der tager udgangspunkt i en noget anderledes barndom end de fleste, fortæller Billie om at vokse op i en haveforening, om allerede fra meget ung at være politisk aktiv, og om at skulle finde frem til sin egen musik. Hvad enten musikken opstår i Sydhavnen, Paris, Vesterbro, Baskerlandet, New York eller Los Angeles. GLIMT er en poetisk fortælling om at blive voksen, og undervejs får læseren humoristiske beretninger om alt fra turneer med The Savage Rose i gamle tourbusser over musikalske ophold i USA til at finde sin egen stemme i bandet Catbird. Billie Koppel (f. 1972) er sanger, musiker og fotograf.
