Surreal romantic comedy starring Shia LaBeouf and Evan Rachel Wood.
In accordance with his mother's dying wishes, Charlie (LaBeouf)
travels to the Romanian capital of Bucharest. While on the plane
one of his fellow passengers asks him to track down his daughter
and return a package to her and having no other plans for his
arrival, Charlie agrees to do so. But when he does succeed in
finding the girl (Wood), an unexpected romance begins to blossom
between the pair and with her already married to a violent Romanian
crime boss (Mads Mikkelsen), it won't be easy for the young lovers
to continue...
With a voice that Pitchfork has called "as scratchy as a three-day
beard yet as supple and pliable as moccasin leather," former
Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age vocalist Mark Lanegan
draws frequent comparisons to wounded masters of doom like Tom
Waits, Nick Cave, and Leonard Cohen. But Lanegan's talents aren't
limited to his vocal skills. His lyrics are on par with the best of
them, exploring with Blakeian insight the stark and scorched
emotional terrain that exists somewhere beyond sadness, addiction,
trauma, and spiritual longing. Now, for the first time ever, the
reclusive singer presents a comprehensive look at his lyrics, the
stories behind them, and the making of his albums as well as
photos, insights, and ephemera from a long career in rock 'n' roll,
I Am the Wolf gives fans a rare and candid glimpse into the inner
workings of a living-and singular-rock legend.
*Featured in The Times' 'Best Books of the Year So Far'* What do
you do when you realise you have everything you think you've ever
wanted but still feel completely empty? What do you do when it all
starts to fall apart? The second volume of Moby's extraordinary
life story is a journey into the dark heart of fame and the demons
that lurk just beneath the bling and bluster of the celebrity
lifestyle. In summer 1999, Moby released the album that defined the
millennium, PLAY. Like generation-defining albums before it, PLAY
was ubiquitous, and catapulted Moby to superstardom. Suddenly he
was hanging out with David Bowie and Lou Reed, Christina Ricci and
Madonna, taking esctasy for breakfast (most days), drinking litres
of vodka (every day), and sleeping with super models
(infrequently). It was a diet that couldn't last. And then it fell
apart. The second volume of Moby's memoir is a classic about the
banality of fame. It is shocking, riotously entertaining, extreme,
and unforgiving. It is unedifying, but you can never tear your eyes
away from the page.
Reprise sees Moby revisiting and reimagining musical highlights from his 30-year career. Together with the Budapest Art Orchestra, he has re-envisioned some of his most recognizable rave classics and anthems with new arrangements for orchestra and acoustic instruments.
In the late eighties and early nineties, Moby, then an underground
DJ and musician, was scraping out a living in New York City. In a
scene popular chiefly among working-class African-Americans and
Latinos, Moby - a poor, skinny, white Christian, vegan and
teetotaller - looked like he would never make it. By the late
nineties, contemplating the end of his music career, he released
what he assumed would be his swansong, Play, which went on to
become a multi-million-selling album, opening up an astonishing new
phase in his life. Porcelain is an unfailingly honest, funny and
brilliantly written memoir about making it, losing it, loving it,
hating it and everything in between.

Slim, the Bronx to Ibiza, "On the Record" is an all-in-one guide.

you.
