The Pied Pipers of Rock 'n' Roll: Radio Deejays of the '50s and '60s , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 572min
The war was won. Ike was in the White House. The world was as sensible as Pat Nixon's cloth coat. It was the '50s, and every teen was a Wally Cleaver or a Betty Anderson. Then something happened. Those submissive students of Miss Brooks and Mr. Peepers became rowdy rebels. Ed Sullivan had to dump the opera stars and Chinese acrobats and give them Elvis. What caused the change? Rock-'n'-roll and the men who brought it over the airwaves into homes and cars. In The Pied Pipers of Rock 'n' Roll, Wes Smith examines the phenomenon of the AM deejays who captivated a generation and helped define the counterculture that has forever changed the landscape of American youth. Broadcasting on signals that often reached across half the continent, these men - Alan Freed, Dick Biondi, Hunter Hancock, Zenas Sears, Jocko Henderson, John R. Richbourg, Gene Nobles, Hoss Allen, and Wolfman Jack - developed followings as devoted as those of the stars whose records they played. Their loyal listeners would lie in darkened bedrooms for hours each night, transported from rural isolation, urban frustration, adolescent awkwardness to a place spun from the heady power of music and mesmerizing deejay lingo. Wally greased his hair, Betty started smoking, and Woodstock was only a decade away. Smith takes a close look at nine of the men who made this happen and explores the reasons for their influence and its lasting effects on the generation whose lives still unfold to the soundtrack laid down by these platter-spinners of their youth. ungekürzt.

Amercian D-Boy: Wahida Clark Presents , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 319min
What else is there for two brothers to inherit but a killer hustle when they come from a long line of hard core hustlers? Jason and Darius Jensen find the answer to this question as they learn to grind hard in the streets at a very young age. By chance, a high-level heroin supplier named George partners up with the brothers and loads of money begin falling into their laps. All seems well until a gruesome murder changes Jason's mind about his future. He leaves the lucrative heroin business to become DJ Jay-Roc, and quickly makes a name for himself as a popular deejay. No sooner than he creates a top-rated show at the biggest Hip-Hop radio station in the world, Jason learns that the hustle is unavoidable and everything comes with a price. Darius is ecstatic to bask in what he believes is his natural talent and becomes one of the biggest heroin dealers on the East Coast. He takes on the moniker D-Boy, and like all the true hustlers in his lineage, he lives up to the title. Rich by illegal means and ruthless at heart, he builds an empire, knowing the Feds are trying to build a strong case against him. The Feds, however, become the least of his worries once he discovers someone on his team wants him just as dead as his enemies. D-Boy must exit the game before the Feds gather enough evidence to make an arrest, or enter the trap set for him by an insider and hope for a safe escape. Either scenario places death at his feet. Still, he must act swiftly. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark A. Neely. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/032489/bk_acx0_032489_sample.mp3.

Se fossi stato Salvatore di te stesso... (eBook, ePUB)
Salvatore, o meglio Deejay, come amava essere chiamato, è stato un bambino simpatico, spiritoso e felice, nato e cresciuto in una famiglia che lo ha riempito di tutto l'amore possibile. Sempre educato, gentile e rispettoso. Gli piaceva giocare a calcio, amava lo sport, la musica, le feste e soprattutto divertirsi e stare con gli amici. Un ragazzo con l'argento vivo addosso! Crescendo le difficoltà della vita gli hanno fatto parecchi sgambetti ma lui, pieno di coraggio, ottimismo e umiltà non si scoraggiava mai. Andava avanti per la sua strada, con buona volontà e ambizione, sempre alla ricerca di un futuro migliore e della felicità. Ha sempre creduto nei veri valori della vita: la famiglia, l'amore e l'amicizia. Un ragazzo spontaneo, genuino, altruista ma soprattutto autoironico. Ha preferito buttarsi nel mondo del lavoro sin da giovanissimo piuttosto che proseguire gli studi, sperando di acquisire col tempo quella dignità che solo il sudore del lavoro può offrire a chi dalla vita non ha avuto niente. Era un ragazzo dolcissimo, aveva sempre un sorriso per tutti e la sua allegria contagiava chiunque. Non era perfetto, anche lui, come tutti noi, ha commesso errori, ha sbagliato, ha pagato, ha scelto strade tortuose, è caduto, si è rialzato e poi ricaduto, ma non ha mai perso il suo primo punto di vista: quello di sorridere sempre alla vita nonostante tutto. Solo l'ultimo periodo della sua vita ha visto spegnersi quel suo meraviglioso sorriso. La morte di nostro padre lo ha segnato per sempre, la precarietà del lavoro lo ha consumato e poi la fine della sua grande storia d'amore gli ha inferto il colpo di grazia.- Shop: buecher

The Mammoth Murders: Minokee Mysteries, Book Two , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 517min
A blind deejay (Shepard Krausse) and an invisible librarian (Miranda Ogilvy) from a tiny, rural Florida town try to solve a double disappearance connected to a recent canoe trip. It ain't exactly "Deliverance," but there's a heap of trouble brewing for these folks - some of it human, some of it animal, and all of it deadly. Shep and Miranda rely on their sense of humor as they face dangerous fossil poachers - but even that is difficult when their engagement is broken amidst a river of troubles. This is Book 2 in the Minokee Mysteries series.Shep's Italian friend (Carlo Fratelli - cook, chauffeur, valet, and ladies man) aids the couple in their adventures. Shep's animal friend, Zeus, a huge and independent Maine Coon cat, is so clever, he sometimes seems clairvoyant. The Coffee Ritual ladies of Minokee add their quirky personalities and folksy wisdom to help Shep & Miranda iron out the bumps in their lives. Martha, Bernice, Wyneen, and Charlotte (average age 74.3) gather every dawn on their front porches to sip their coffee while they wait for the sight of the blond Adonis (Shep) jogging past their Magnolia Street cottages. Shepard's absurdly wealthy, snobbish, and domineering mother (Hermione Montgomery-Krausse) is always behind the scenes, attempting to direct the course of Shep's career. Hermione wants Shep to become a politician, like several of his ancestors. At the very least, she wants her son to become a television commentator. With his blindness, his noble family connections, and his golden good looks, Shepard would be recognized by future voters - which will not happen if he stays in radio. The shy Miranda shows a surprising inner strength when confronting Shepard's officious mother, and Hermione has been forced to admire the librarian. Hermione vacillates between trying to separate Shep and Miranda or trying to marry them - on Hermione's terms.Miranda's difficulties with Hermione are compounded when Miranda's par ungekürzt.

Tel Aviv Noir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 526min
Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched with the summer '04 award-winning best seller Brooklyn Noir. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. For Tel Aviv Noir, Etgar Keret and Assaf Gavron have masterfully assembled some of Israel's top contemporary writers into a compulsively readable collection. From the introduction by Etgar Keret: "In spite of its outwardly warm and polite exterior, Tel Aviv has quite a bit to hide. At any club, most of the people dancing around you to the sounds of a deep-house hit dedicated to peace and love have undergone extensive automatic-weapons training and a hand-grenade tutorial... The workers washing the dishes in the fluorescent-lit kitchen of that same club are Eritrean refugees who have crossed the Egyptian border illegally, along with a group of bedouins smuggling some high-quality hash, which the deejay will soon be smoking on his little podium, right by the busy dance floor filled with drunks, coked-up lawyers, and Ukrainian call girls whose pimp keeps their passports in a safe two streets away. Don't get me wrong - Tel Aviv is a lovely, safe city. Most of the time, for most of its inhabitants. But the stories in this collection describe what happens the rest of the time, to the rest of its inhabitants. From one last cup of coffee at a caf targeted by a suicide bomber, through repeat visits from a Yiddish-speaking ghost, to an organized tour of mythological crime scenes that goes terribly wrong, the stories of Tel Aviv Noir reveal the concealed, scarred face of this city that we love so much." Featuring brand-new stories by: Etgar Keret, Gadi Taub, Lavie Tidhar, Deakla Keydar, Matan Hermoni, Julia Fermentto, Gon Ben Ari, Shimon Adaf, Alex Epstein, Antonio Ungar, Gai Ad, Assaf Gavron, Silje Bekeng, and Yoav Katz. ungekürzt.

The Power of Broke: How Empty Pockets, a Tight Budget, and a Hunger for Success Can Become Your Greatest Competitive Advantage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 524min
Skillfully read by DJ, MTV News reporter, and radio host Sway Calloway, whose effortless style and distinct voice perfectly capture John's message, and featuring a customized introduction from the author himself, this audiobook is the go-to source for all those wanting to learn the importance of staying hungry in order to succeed. Interspersed throughout its chapters, listeners are treated to "Power Facts" and "Shark Points" told directly by Daymond John, giving the famed entrepreneur and branding expert a chance to impart some of his invaluable wisdom. Daymond John has been practicing the power of broke ever since he started selling his home-sewn T-shirts on the streets of Queens. With no funding and a $40 budget, Daymond had to come up with out-of-the box ways to promote his products. Luckily, desperation breeds innovation, and so he hatched an idea for a creative campaign that eventually launched the FUBU brand into a $6 billion global phenomenon. But it might not have happened if he hadn't started out broke - with nothing but a heart full of hope and a ferocious drive to succeed by any means possible. Here, the FUBU founder and star of ABC's Shark Tank shows that, far from being a liability, broke can actually be your greatest competitive advantage as an entrepreneur. Why? Because starting a business from broke forces you to think more creatively. It forces you to use your resources more efficiently. It forces you to connect with your customers more authentically and market your ideas more imaginatively. It forces you to be true to yourself, stay laser focused on your goals, and come up with those innovative solutions required to make a meaningful mark. John shows how we can all leverage the power of broke to phenomenal success. You'll meet: Steve Aoki, the electronic dance music (EDM) deejay who managed to parlay a series of $100 gigs into becoming a global superstar who has redefined the music industry. Gig ungekürzt.
