Thriller starring Antonio Banderas as a Los Angeles private
detective handed an unusual assignment. As a private eye, Ned Cruz
(Banderas) is used to locating people who don't want to be found.
However, when he is approached by a Russian boxer (Robert Maillet)
to find his missing girlfriend (Sienna Guillory) and the $30
million worth of diamonds in her possession, it is clear that this
will not be an everyday job. Nonetheless, as Ned's search takes him
into the eccentric company of Adam Nova (James Van der Beek), a
Hollywood star with a secret, Fay Neman (Autumn Reeser), a waitress
with a passion for physics, and Simon Kestral (Sam Elliott), a
billionaire who is determined to replicate the Big Bang, even his
private expectations of the strangeness of the case are surpassed.
Can Cruz make sense of the bizarre occurrences and track down the
missing girl?

A stunning photographic presentation of the guitars that defined
the distinctive sounds and style of Johnny Marr with personal
reflections and insights from the legendary guitarist himself.
'Guitars have been the obsession of my life ... they’ve been a
mission and sometimes a lifeline' – Johnny Marr The guitarist’s
guitarist, Johnny Marr redefined music for a generation. His
ringing arpeggios and chordal innovations helped elevate The Smiths
to be one of the most influential and important British bands of
all time. Tracing Marr's career from his teenage years to his
recent work on the Bond soundtrack, Marr’s Guitars showcases the
most significant of Marr’s superb collection of electric and
acoustic guitars, revealing through them the evolution of his
iconic sound and style of playing. Each guitar is identified with a
crucial moment, a specific song or a particular sound, and each
embodies a key aspect of Marr’s lifelong passion. Renowned
photographer Pat Graham presents each instrument as a full
portrait, supported by micro shots highlighting the specific
details that make each one unique, while Johnny Marr himself
reveals in his accompanying commentary on what tracks and at which
shows the guitars were played. Many of the guitars are closely
associated with Marr, such as the Rickenbacker 330, the Gibson
ES-355 and the Johnny Marr Signature Fender Jaguar. Some were
passed down to him, including Nile Rodgers’ Stratocaster, Bryan
Ferry’s Roxy Music Hagstrom and Bert Jansch’s Yamaha. Others
are guitars once owned by Marr that have since been passed on to
the next generation of guitar heroes, including the Stratocaster
used by Noel Gallagher on ‘Wonderwall’ and the Gibson Les Paul
Goldtop used on In Rainbows by Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien.
Punctuating the photography of the guitars and the accompanying
commentary are contextual studio, backstage and onstage shots.
Together, they make Marr’s Guitars a unique cultural history of
modern music and guitar playing told through the prism of Johnny
Marr’s experiences and achievements.

Updated paperback version features a new chapter of never seen
photos plus a new interview with Henry Rollins. TOTAL CHAOS:
The Story of The Stooges / As Told by Iggy Pop is the first time
the story of this seminal band has been told entirely in Pop's own
words. Hundreds of full color rare photos illustrate Pop's story.
Author Jeff Gold and contributor Johan Kugelberg, noted music
historians and collectors, spent two days with Pop at his Miami
home, sharing with him their extensive Stooges collection and
interviewing the legendary singer. Pop's candid, bare-all responses
left them with the almost unbelievable tale of the band he
founded-the alternately tragic and triumphant story of a group who
rose from youth, fell prey to drugs, alcohol, and music biz
realities, collapsed and nearly 30 years later reformed, recording
and touring to great acclaim. In 2010 The Stooges, credited with
having invented punk rock, were inducted into the Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame. Their continuing influence can be felt today in the
shape and sound of rock-n-roll music. "Gasp at the awe inspiring
memorabilia and frank talk in Total Chaos: The Story of The
Stooges/As Told By Iggy Pop"— Mojo Magazine "Tells the band’s
revolutionary story through many never-before-published photos and
extensive interviews…(and) contributions from Johnny Marr, Josh
Homme, Dave Grohl, Joan Jett and Jack White."— Rolling Stone "A
fantastic new book…a must-read for both diehard fans and anyone
who wants to learn first-hand from Pop what it was like from the
inside looking out in one of the seminal bands of the post-’60s
era."— Esquire
TOTAL CHAOS is the first book telling Iggy Pop's story of The
Stooges from his own words. Grammy winning editor and avid music
historian Jeff Gold spent two days at the rock legend's home
sharing pictures and memorabilia from his collection. Featuring a
trove of unseen photos, TOTAL CHAOS shows and tells, with the help
of best-selling author Jon Savage, the story of the Stooges from
those tell-all interviews. "Gasp at the awe inspiring memorabilia
