Story
When Miranda Sawyer interviewed Liam Gallagher in 1994, his gag wishing Damon Albarn would die of AIDS became front-page news all over the world. This fascinating pop history, exploring the moment British music suddenly meant everything, explains why. Picking out twenty key songs, delving into the surprising stories behind them and their unlikely creators, UNCOMMON PEOPLE takes us back to when Jarvis Cocker became a national hero, films like Trainspotting were international hits, rave became what everybody did - and it felt like the revolution was happening.

Story
In this of-the-moment essay collection, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner explores the ways in which Céline Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan became bona fide global superstars while revolutionizing ’90s music. In an era when male-fronted musical acts dominated radio and were given serious critical consideration, these four women were reduced, mocked, and disparaged by the media and became pop culture jokes, even as their albums were topping the charts and demolishing sales records.

Story
1972 installierte Elliot Mintz ein rotes Licht in seinem Schlafzimmer im kalifornischen Laurel Canyon. Wenn es zu blinken begann, wusste er: John Lennon oder Yoko Ono rufen an. Über einen Zeitraum von fast zehn Jahren telefonierten sie täglich miteinander, oft stundenlang. Elliot Mintz wurde zum engsten Vertrauten eines der öffentlichsten Paare der Welt. Er begleitete Yoko und John durch gute und schwierige Zeiten. Und er war in den Stunden, Tagen und Wochen nach Johns Ermordung an Yokos Seite.
