Brighter Day: A Jellyfish Story Price: $38.00 Artist: Brighter Day: A Jellyfish Story Description: WE'VE SOLD OVER 1,700 COPIES - AND IT'S STILL SELLING!! Written by the New York Times best selling author Craig Dorfman, this book takes us inside the 90’s least appreciated (by the masses), but most appreciated (by power pop fans the world over), and most misunderstood band. Andy Sturmer and Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. Met as teenagers in the fall of 1980. Less than fifteen years later, the two of them had won jazz contests, written commercial jingles, become pen pals, joined a band with a San Francisco new wave icon, formed their own group, sparked a major label bidding war, recorded two critically acclaimed records, toured the world (twice), worked with a legendary producer, and backed a Beatle! In 1994 they agreed that their musical partnership, as well as their friendship, was over. They shook hands, wished each other well, and left. They have not spoken since. In the years that followed Jellyfish’s breakup, the band’s legacy grew. Fans devoted hours to analyzing every note of their two records. Power pop bands around the world worked to recreate their sound. Not Lame’s 2002 box xet “Fan Club” sold out three pressings – more thyan 8,000 units, in six months! Radio mainstays including Rooney, fun., The Darkness, and Drake Bell have all cited them as an influence. Beck’s touring band includes two ex-Jellyfish members (Roger Manning and Jason Falkner). And through it all, music lovers have wondered what drove Roger and Andy apart, and if they’d ever reunite. Drawing from dozens of interviews with all of the major – and many minor – characters in the Jellyfish story to create one seamless master narrative, “Brighter Day: A Jellyfish Story” follows the course of that friendship from its earliest days in Pleasanton, CA through the two decades of silence in search of the answer to the nagging fan question “Why, oh why, isn’t there more Jellyfish music?” GREAT!! ... read more » Quantity in Basket: none

The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1) Price: $30.00 Artist: Carl Cafarelli Description: Carl Cafarelli is the author of 2023’s “Gabba Gabba Gabba Hey! A Conversation With The Ramones”. He has written for Goldmine, DISCoveries, The Syracuse New Times, Feral House, Routledge, Visible Ink Press, AHOY Comics, and Rhino Records. Since 1998, he has been the co-host (with Dana Bonn) of the internationally-renowned weekly broadcast and internet radio show “This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl” and he is the author of the daily blog “Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do)”. “The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1)” is unlike any other rock or pop book you've ever seen. It mixes history lessons, artist appreciation, and the ways in which the records we love can deeply affect our personal lives. Our favorite records don't live in isolation. Each one has a story. Insisting that an infinite number of tracks can each be THE greatest record ever made (as long as they take turns), the book ties together threads connecting classic rock, soul, pop, punk, hip hop, and bubblegum across decades of hits, misses, critics' darlings, one-hit wonders, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, and complete unknowns. The result reads like an irresistible mix tape in book form, compelling the reader to follow its flow from song to song and chapter to chapter as if it were a novel. As an experienced pop historian and journalist, Carl knows the importance of recording facts and figures accurately. But passion is of equal importance. We don't crank the volume for fave rave sounds as academics; we listen as fans, as people living this complicated life with music as not merely its soundtrack, but as its heartbeat. Records reflect our hopes, our disappointments, our successes, our mourning, our love, our bitterness, our fear, and our will to dance in spite of it all. Why did the Monkees go from the top of the pops in 1967 to seeming has-been status in 1968? How did James Brown respond to the British Invasion? What minefields of racism, sexism, homophobia, ambition, frustration, depression, or loss were navigated by Little Richard, Dusty Springfield, the Go-Go's, Elvis, Sly and the Family Stone, the Kinks, the Beach Boys, the Supremes, and Material Issue's Jim Ellison? Were the Ramones as much a bubblegum band as they were a punk band? When does a group succeed or fail in its quixotic quest to be the next Beatles? And why does listening to pop music sometimes make us want to cry? And don’t worry folks, the Power Pop genre is well-represented throughout! And the book is autographed by Carl! EXCELLENT!! ... read more » Quantity in Basket: none
