Fifty years after their first practice in a Soho basement, Led
Zeppelin continues to fascinate new generations of listeners. While
their back-stage debauchery has been the focus of other books, All
the Songs is about the music, detailing the Page's studio magic and
inspiration that made all nine albums go platinum, including Led
Zeppelin IV which was certified x23 platinum and has sold more than
37 million copies worldwide. Studio stories will include their
productive time at Headley Grange in Wales, a poorly-heated former
poorhouse where they recorded parts of Led Zeppelin III, Led
Zeppelin IV, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti.And how the
first album was recorded in three weeks but their second took six
months, done while the band was on a world tour. They carried the
masters of the recording session in a steamer trunk wherever they
went. Out of these chaotic sessions came the ",Whole Lotta Love,",
which was finished in New York with Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer
helping create the psychedelic middle part, as well as ",The Lemon
Song,", which was cut live in the studio.Page worked feverishly
with Kramer to mix the LP on a primitive 12-channel Altec board in
a two-day span. Fans will also learn the genesis of their lyrics,
the inspiration for their album covers, the instruments used, and
the contributions of engineers such as Andy Johns, who helped
create the iconic drum sound on ",When the Levee Breaks", by
recording Bonham at the bottom of a stairwell.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
