The Turnaround Artist: The Life and Career of Mitt Romney , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
In 2012, America's first African-American president, Barack Obama, will be running for reelection against one of the least conventional Republican politicians the country has ever had. From his Mormon faith to his governorship of the very blue Massachusetts, Mitt Romney has left many on the right wondering whether he possesses the traditional conservative values that they deem necessary, even as he has spent two straight Republican primary seasons burnishing his conservative credentials. On the other side, Romney's political career and ideology have led to charges by Democrats that he's a flip-flopper who will take whichever side of an issue is politically expedient at the time. Throw in the fact that many Americans of all political stripes view his forthright and serious demeanor as overly wooden and not personable, the very opposite of a natural politician like Bill Clinton, and people unfamiliar with Romney and his career must certainly be left wondering how he's on the verge of becoming the next President of the United States. Yet the former governor does indeed stand on the precipice of history, in the midst of an election that everyone anticipates will be a nail biter. 2012 is just the most recent chapter in the life of the turnaround artist, as he was known at Bain. In many ways, Romney's life and career have been a string of surprising successes. Dubbed a stiff, wooden politician, it was Mitt's outgoing personality that won over childhood sweetheart and wife of 40+ years Ann Davies. A jocular prankster in high school, seriousness was instilled in Romney during a mission in France in which he was badly injured in a car crash, with the woman sitting next to him killed in the wreck. The best known parts of Romney's career have also been about turnarounds. After becoming a student at both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, Romney became a business superstar working as a consultant at Bain & Company, where he was dubb ungekürzt.

It's My Time to Lose My Mind
*Limited Edition CD Digipaks* Kevin McAdams writes and sings upbeat melodic pop songs with tongue-in-cheek lyrics. For fans of ELO, Brian Wilson, Grandaddy, Sparks, and The Magnetic Fields. Produced by Kevin McAdams and Mod Alien (Elefant, Radio 4). Art Direction by Brian Walters (Astralwerks Records, Instinct Records). ----------------------------------------------------------- 'It's always a bit of a nail-biter when a [vocally] silent drummer from one band steps up to the mic on his own. You figure a) he felt hidden back there behind his rig, behind his band, and is using said band's momentum to take a questionable moment up front, or b) maybe he actually has something to say. With Kevin McAdams' first solo release, 'It's My Time to Lose My Mind', it's definitely the latter - and you wonder why he was silent up until now. The album kicks off with the kind of beat that challenges your hands to keep from fingerdrumming...and the feeling sticks around for 11 kickass pop songs. And when I say "pop," I don't mean it in the way that might make me cringe...no, in this case I mean it in the catchy, need-to-play-it-again way. After a few listens, it feels like you could have known these songs since high school. The lyrics are clever and really resonate - I listened to "Leave Us Alone" on repeat the first time I heard it just to catch what he was saying, and nod my head in agreement. "My Time" grabs me, too. The lyrics bring the point home of one seriously frustrated guy about to snap, but it's not done in the screeching-vocals-and-howling-guitars way that so many songs with a similar theme are. Rather, McAdams' voice remains super calm and cool, allowing the urgency and panic to come through from the awesomely staccato beat. "Turn The Lights Off" ends the album with a more energized but similar plan - and it's one of my favorite tracks. Overall, it's the combination of bright pop beats and multi-layered instrumentation backing that cool voice - he's not desperate to make you hear him, he's just letting you know what's up - that really keep you coming back for another listen. The man can drum, I've seen him play, but this album is proof that it's definitely (yep, I'll say it...) 'his time'.' -S. Weiss - GoRockOut Magazine.- Shop: odax
