    Phenomenally Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
    In a dark room with a blue light In the basement, music just right Nothing going down but the Mellow sounds of Mr. DJ's turntables Going round" Boyz II Men croon As we groove to the beat (From "Blue Light White") Phenomenally Me is the first collection from Kansas-born African American poet Sarah J. Heidelberg, and a lively and impressive compilation it is; by turns emotional and thoughtful, joyful and melancholy, blending the discipline and technique of formal lyric verse with the brashness and daring of performance poetry. The 102 poems of the book, written from 2000-2009, are grouped in seven sections. The first of 27 poems is titled "Encounters With Love". I can hear the moldy figs of the poetry establishment now. "Love poetry? How trite!" Have they been so long in the House of the Dead, mummifying Robert Frost, that they have forgotten that Eros, God of love (Erzulie in the pantheon of Voudon) has been the most steadfast patron of verse? Have they already forgotten that the god/muse was propitiated by ancient Egyptians, praised by the Babylonians, puffed up in Sanskrit, Latin, and Greek? To the roll of Love's acolytes - who include Sappho, Shakespeare, Smokey Robinson - add Sarah J. Heidelberg. It is Ms. Heidelberg's desire that these poems be heard aloud. Phenomenally Me, however, is not a mess of doggerel jotted down on napkins 10 minutes before she recited them at a slam or open mic. It is a carefully crafted blend of classical and modern influences, feminism and post feminism. It would be a welcome addition to an update of the Ras Baraka and Kevin Powell anthology, In the Tradition. Phenomenally Me is new wine in new bottles, and Sarah J. Heidelberg is a right poet for the new millennium worthy of her icons, which include Jessica Care Moore, Alice Walker, Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, and Sylvia Plath. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Falcon's Fox: The Rock Series, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 307min, (USK 18)
    Heavy metal rocker Ransom Fox has everything he's always wanted: fame, money, groupies, and a family who has his back. There's just one thing missing - someone to love. Since he was a young teen, Ransom has had eyes for only one man, a movie star he knows he'll never meet. Dying dream, meet trite cliché: Never say never. Now that Ransom and his band have hit it big, they're rubbing elbows with celebrities all the time - including a certain handsome Italian actor. A trip to California launches Ransom directly into Sal Falco's orbit. Unable to resist the gravitational pull, the men find themselves in each other's arms, beginning a clandestine relationship. As an actor who makes his living as every woman's dream, Sal has a custom-made closet to stay in. Ransom knows his love life will need to remain secret, one he'll happily keep for the man who is even better than his best fantasies. Sal Falco has been hiding his sexuality for years, but a spine-tingling run-in with sexy Ransom Fox has him thinking that keeping secrets is a lot of work with no payoff. When Sal offers to put Ransom up during his trip to California, even a mansion isn't big enough to keep him from the sexy rocker. Things heat up in a hurry; hell, the Earth moves. How do you argue with a sign like that? Sal finally gets a taste of his heavy metal heartthrob - and happiness. Welcome back our friend the cliché: The path of true love never does run smooth. Sal is dealt a devastating blow, one which just might mean the end of his career as well as his new relationship. Ransom has never backed down from a fight and sure as hell doesn't plan to start now. The chase is on. Will the Falcon get his Fox for good? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Klaus von Hohenloe. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/089813/bk_acx0_089813_sample.mp3.

    Evolve or Die: Lessons for World-Class Innovation & Creativity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 578min
    Assuming you're someone interested in learning and improving - and making a difference - this book was written with you in mind.Whether you're at the top of the corporate pyramid, or somewhere nearer the base. Whether you're a stay-at-home parent coordinating the endless duties of the family, or an entrepreneur orchestrating a finite amount of time and resources - you're working to make a difference. And yes, your work and what you do matters.The audiobook contains a culmination of experiences, thoughts, and learning - much of it from world-class innovators and creators. Every single story is true. And every story has relevance to you.Some common themes will emerge from these stories. Hard work, persistence, courage. Luck is sometimes present. Often, things were learned the hard way. And, as is the case whenever there are innovators and creators involved, there’s also a fair amount of love running rampant through the stories. Evidently, rampant is how love likes to run - especially when it’s heading toward a goal and vision. Perhaps most important, you’ll see that every one of these luminaries are made - not born.The title, Evolve or Die, is somewhat blunt, and it is an exaggeration. But my belief is that it’s closer to the truth than many people realize. And it’s my genuine hope that this book and the stories within on innovating and creating are of real interest and benefit to you.It might seem trite to write this, but (in reference to Henry David Thoreau) you weren’t meant to settle for a life of quiet desperation. You’ll need to innovate and create. It’s better to learn from the champions, practice like your life depended on it (to an extent it does), and come out strong and punching above your weight (because you can).You’ve got a lot to offer this world. We all do. I’m in your corner, offering guidance and cheering for you. Get in the ring, come out swinging, and fight the good fight.Praise for Evo ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thomas C.

    Fat Activism
    Charlotte Cooper, a fat activist with more than 30 years experience, lifts the lid on a previously unexplored social movement and offers a fresh perspective on one of the major problems of our times. In her expansive, intelligent grassroots study she: - Reveals details of fat activist methods and approaches - Features extensive accounts of fat activist historical roots going back over four decades - Explores controversies and tensions in the movement - Shows that fat activism is an undeniably feminist and queer phenomenon Fat Activism: A Radical Social Movement is a rare instance of fat people speaking about their lives and politics on their own terms. The book is the result of Charlotte's community-based doctoral research. 'Charlotte Cooper's fierce new book Fat Activism: A Radical Social Movement should be required reading for scholars and activists. Cooper draws on extensive interviews with fat activists to render a trenchant analysis of our field of motion. She takes a penetrating look at activist efforts and self-understandings, eschewing easy praise in favor of discernment that ultimately promises to invigorate the movement.' Kathleen LeBesco / Marymount Manhattan College (Associate Dean) 'Charlotte Cooper is once again in the vanguard of radical social change with this book about fat activism. She has captured the history of the fat rights movements, interviewed fat activists, and demonstrated the extensive and exciting breadth of fat activism in a global setting. Fat activism is often portrayed as ineffective when in fact its lack of conformity and interdisciplinarity can serve as a model for other social movements.' Esther Rothblum / Editor / Fat Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society 'For any civil rights movement to succeed, it must know its history; to build on its strengths and learn from its mistakes. With the ubiquity of the Internet, the historical knowledge and record of activism can be rewritten with 140 characters. That is one of the many reasons that Fat Activism: A Radical Social Movement is important. Anyone interested in the epistemology, ontology, and methodology, (not to mention history) of fat activism should make this a central text of their library. Cat Pausé / Massey University / Co-Editor of Queering Fat Embodiment 'It is in the interest of the ethically and intellectually dubious field of "Obesity Research" to flatten fat subjects; rendering our voices narrowly defined by punchy rhetoric, our activist interventions reduced to child-like flailing against the big bad thin-dominated world. Charlotte Cooper's book resists this myopic view of resistance to fat oppression in form and content. Fat Activists need more researchers and writers examining and reflecting on our work from within, and this book stands as an offering and opening in that vein.' Naima Lowe / Artist and Member of the Faculty at The Evergreen State College 'In public discourse the voices of people who would be identified as obese are rarely heard. Enter Charlotte Cooper, researcher, performer, and therapist who has devoted most of her adult life to fat activism. Her book is a personal account of the fat activist movement. Cooper defines fat activism as "cultural work". She critiques ideas about body positivity and a "monolithic ideal of trite self love", and calls out careerist researchers for "reproducing fat people as fascinating but passive specimens." Cooper guides the reader into a fertile place of growth a million miles from timebombs and epidemics, and gives a human face to a large segment of the population who are too often dehumanised.' Tanya Glyde, review of Fat Activism in The Lancet

    Violent Hearts
    33 Charmanter Indie & 50/60´-Pop mit Hitpotenzial aus Kanada ! Für Fans von THE DRUMS & BEACH BOYS. Ein vor Harmonien überschäumendes Album mit pulsierenden Rhythmen. Erscheint in den USA auf SUB POP Records.Shimmering Stars is a three-piece dream pop act from Vancouver, BC, Canada. Shimmering Stars' music embodies an attempt at drawing out and illuminating the subtle darkness inherent in the seemingly wholesome, innocent music of the 1950s and 60s. The result filters older influences like the Everly Brothers, Del Shannon, Beach Boys, Phil Spector, Bo Diddley & of course The Drums through a contemporary indie lens. Songs about being in love, not being in love, the painfully modern condition of floating in a state of suspended adolescence - all tinted with the slight self-deprication of knowing how trite it is to be writing songs about these things at all. Shimmering Stars create reverb-soaked pop songs, full of arching harmonies, pulsing rhythms, and exquisite melodies, often with dark undertones, all while adhering to the timeless structural qualities of the seminal songs that inspired them. The songs are haunting and sublime - at times blissful, and at others heart breaking. The band began as a recording project in Spring 2010. After stumbling upon some old live footage of the Everly Brothers, Rory McClure holed up in his parent's garage in Kamloops, British Columbia to record the first demos. That first recording environment rendered Shimmering Stars' distinctly dusty atmospheric sound and established a conscious insertion into the garage music continuum. REVIEWS: If there's any justice, 2011 could be a breakthrough year for the band. The Line of Best Fit Shimmering Stars are a band who embody this wonderful kind of ignorance, a quartet seemingly frozen in a bygone era and thawed in the choppy waters of today. The kind of music you'd associate with an excellent post-war prom, their tender, dream pop ambience a sort of cool embrace. The Pigeon Post Influenced by the sounds of Beach Boys, Everly Brothers, with a touch of Phil Spector, Shimmering Stars creates timeless, lo-fi dream pop. Guitars strum and jingle, the vocals soar and ascend, while the drums beat-beat like the sound of your heart. They take you back to first crushes, lost loves, and restless nights contemplating just how you're going to work up the nerve to talk to *that* person. These songs glisten and glimmer, sweetly encompassing the sound of falling in love. Unholy Rhythms 'It's brilliant' Mojo Anspieltipps: - I'm Gonna Try (Single) - Sun's Going Down - Dancing to Music I Hate TRACKS: 1. Believe 2. I'm Gonna Try 3. No One 4. East Van Girls 5. Into the Sea 6. Nervous Breakdown 7. Privilege 8. Sun's Going Down 9. Sabians 10. Dancing to Music I Hate 11. I Don't Wanna Know 12. Other Girls 13. Did I Lose You 14. Walk Away
