A Short History of the Girl Next Door , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min
Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, this unrequited love story will appeal to fans of Jennifer Niven, John Green, and Jesse Andrews. Seriously, how can you see a person nearly every day of your life and never think a thing of it, then, all of a sudden, one day, it's different? You see that goofy grin a thousand times and just laugh. But goofy grin number 1,001 nearly stops your heart? Right. That sounds like a bad movie already. Matt Wainwright is constantly sabotaged by the overdramatic movie director in his head. He can't tell his best friend, Tabby, how he really feels about her; he implodes on the JV basketball team; and the only place he feels normal is in Mr. Ellis' English class, discussing the greatest fart scenes in literature and writing poems about pissed-off candy-cane lumberjacks. If this were a movie, everything would work out perfectly. Tabby would discover that Matt's madly in love with her, be overcome with emotion, and fall into his arms. Maybe in the rain. But that's not how it works. Matt watches Tabby get swept away by senior basketball star and all-around great guy Liam Branson. Losing Tabby to Branson is bad enough, but screwing up and losing her as a friend is even worse. After a tragic accident, Matt finds himself left on the sidelines, on the verge of spiraling out of control and losing everything that matters to him. From debut author Jared Reck comes a fiercely funny and heart-wrenching novel about love, longing, and what happens when life as you know it changes in an instant. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Stolen by Her Mountain Men: A MFM Mountain Man Menage Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 235min, (USK 18)
These lumberjacks know exactly what to do with their wood....Clarissa I’ve never been the marrying kind. I’m too busy helping my dad run the family ranch, for love or relationships. But when his health suddenly starts to fail - so does our entire livelihood. And it’s just the opportunity the slimy Lloyd Howell has been waiting for. Not only does he hire all our best hand’s away, but he’s backed me into a corner. The only way to save everything I’ve ever loved is to marry this snake of a man.It looks like Lloyd is gonna get exactly what he wants from me - until they show up. Harlan and Duke McKenzie. These brawny, rugged brothers steal me away from my own wedding and from any chance I had of saving my family. I’m half furious...half relieved...and mostly confused as hell. Trapped at their mountain compound for days - just the three of us - I’m starting to feel things I shouldn’t. Now, all that anger is morphing into panty-melting desire. Hot, twisted desire for not just one brother - but two.Harlan/Duke Honorable men. That’s what we usually are...but not today. Why? Because today, we’re stealing a bride away from her own wedding. Not that this feisty beauty should be marrying this fool of a man, anyway. But as they say, "desperate times call for desperate measures."And things have never been more desperate. Lloyd "Piece of Sh*t" Howell has weaseled his way into marrying the one woman who could upend our lives.Not only would their union devastate our beloved McKenzie Mountain and turn it into a rival logging operation, but it would force the one woman we want into the bed of another man.Like hell we’re gonna let that happen. So, we’re whisking her away in the hopes of stopping this mess. We had it all planned out. At least, we thought we di ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rodney Falcon.

Guitar: An American Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 679min
What was it about a small, humble folk instrument that allowed it to become an American icon? The guitar represents freedom, the open road, protest and rebellion, the blues, youth, lost love, and sexuality. Tim Brookes explores with adoration these ideas and how they became entwined with the history of America. Shortly before Tim Brookes' 50th birthday, baggage handlers destroyed his guitar, his 22-year-old traveling companion. His wife promised to replace it with the guitar of his dreams, but Tim discovered that a dream guitar is built, not bought. He set out to find someone to make him the perfect guitar, a quest that ended up a on a dirt road in the Green Mountains of Vermont, where an amiable curmudgeon master guitarmaker, Rick Davis, took a rare piece of cherry wood and went to work with saws and rasps. Meanwhile, Tim set out to write a kind of chronicle of the guitar, as he said, "not a catalog of makes and models, nor a genealogy of celebrities, but an attempt to understand this curious relationship between the instrument and the people involved with it, and how that has grown and changed over time". He discovered that the instrument, first arriving with conquistadors and the colonists, ended up in the hands of a variety of people: miners and society ladies, lumberjacks and presidents' wives, Hawaiians, African-Americans, Cajuns, jazz players, spiritualists, singing cowboys of the silver screen, and bluegrass and Beatles fans. Inventors and crackpots tinkered with it. In time, it became America's instrument, its soundtrack. When Tim wasn't breathing over Rick's shoulder, he was trying to unravel the symbolic associations a guitar holds for so many of us, musicians and non-musicians alike. His journey takes him across the country talking to historians, curators, and guitarmakers. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Brookes.

Seattle Noir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 478min
Launched by the summer '04 award-winning best-seller Brooklyn Noir, Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. Brand-new stories by: G. M. Ford, Skye Moody, R. Barri Flowers, Thomas P. Hopp, Patricia Harrington, Bharti Kirchner, Kathleen Alcalá, Simon Wood, Brian Thornton, Lou Kemp, Curt Colbert, Robert Lopresti, Paul S. Piper, and Stephan Magcosta. Early Seattle was a hardscrabble seaport filled with merchant sailors, longshoremen, lumberjacks, rowdy saloons, and a rough-and-tumble police force not immune to corruption and graft. By the mid-50s, the town had added Boeing to its claim to fame, but was still a mostly blue-collar burg that was infamously described as "a cultural dustbin" by the Seattle Symphony’s first conductor. Present-day Seattle has become a pricey, cosmopolitan center, home to Microsoft and Starbucks. The city is famous as the birthplace of grunge music, and possesses a flourishing art, theater, and club scene that many would have thought improbable just a few decades ago. But some things never change - crime being one of them. Seattle's evolution to high-finance and high-tech has simply provided even greater opportunity and reward to those who might be ethically, morally, or economically challenged (crooks, in other words). But most crooks are just ordinary people, not professional thieves or crime bosses - they might be your pleasant neighbor, your wife or lover, your grocer or hairdresser, your minister or banker or lifelong friend - yet even the most upright and honest of them sometimes fall to temptation. Within the stories of Seattle Noir, you will find: a wealthy couple whose marriage is filled with not-so-quiet desperation; a credit card scam that goes over-limit; femmes fatales and hommes fatales; a delicatessen owner whose case is less than koshe ungekürzt.

Banks of the Little Auplaine
THE BAND: Based in Minneapolis, founded officially in the summer of 2009, the members of Julie Johnson & the No-Accounts, who share a connection to the music program at Augsburg College, have been collaborating for several years. Julie Johnson has played with groups as varied as the Minnesota Chorale and the Texas blues singer Dede Priest, while Doug Otto (of Doug Otto & The Getaways) and Drew Druckrey (of The Jason Dixon Line), have also played together in bands such as The North Country Bandits. THE ALBUM: The original songs and versions of traditional Upper Midwestern tunes on The Banks of The Little Auplaine (written or arranged primarily by Julie Johnson, but developed by the band) straddle a line between song and composition, popular and chamber music. Influenced by many artists, including Gillian Welch, Astor Piazzolla, Patty Griffin, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Bela Bartok, and Robert Johnson, the band has struggled to define the music they make. Thomas Mann in The Magic Mountain comes the closest, in his description of those pieces that "fell between the two categories" of "the lofty and conscious creation of individual artists" and "simple folk songs ... in that they were products of an intellectual art, and at the same time sprang from all that was profoundest and most reverent in the feeling and genius of a people-artificial folk-songs, one might call them, if the word artificial need not be taken to cast a slur on the genuineness of their inspiration.' While the band started out playing the Delta blues tunes and traditional Southern standards that drew them to roots music-artists like Leadbelly, Howlin' Wolf, and Skip James-here they focus on soulful music from the Upper Midwest. They hope to be a part of finding and interpreting their own region's melodic, rhythmic, and thematic folk tradition and history. THE SONGS: Bob Dylan wrote the original Winterlude in 1970 for his album New Morning, but it's hard to find anyone who's ever heard of this unexpectedly sweet and light tune. A jaunty arrangement and an incongruous bass clarinet play up the charm of that surprise. The Removed. Based on characteristics of the French Canadian folk tune "Le Petite Rocher," this song's open, crystal-like harmonies speak to the landscape of Julie Johnson's childhood in Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota: the stark beauty of it's flatness, it's long blue-and-white winters. Originally written for two flutes, this version for flute and resonator guitar captures the effect Johnson originally intended. Writing this piece led to her deep interest in the folk tradition of the Upper Midwest. Arkan, a dance tune popular among the Ukranian Hutsul (from southwestern Ukraine), is often heard at the Ukranian Heritage Festival in Northeast Minneapolis, an area historically populated by Eastern European immigrants. Natalie Nowytski, of the Ukranian Village Band, introduced Johnson to the tune, who arranged it in a tango/bolero style, exploring the percussive possibilities of the mandolin, acoustic guitar, and bass flute. Found in Franz Lee Rickaby's Ballads and Songs of the Shanty-Boy, a collection of lumberjack songs from Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin that were popular in 1870-1900, the Golden Age of American lumbering, the haunting The Little Auplaine speaks to the dangers of the Upper Midwest's early industries. One of the only shanty-boy songs whose original authorship is known (W.N. Allen, also known as "Shan T. Boy," who wrote it sometime in the 1870s), Johnson's arrangement uses an altered version sung to Rickaby by M.C. Dean of Virginia, MN. Allen's version is in a major key, includes differences in the melody, and spells the title "The Little Eau Pleine." Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the eight Little House books, which tell her family's story of living on the land in 1870-1889, is perhaps the most famous pioneer of the Upper Midwest. This version of the hymn The Home of the Soul, as sung by her mother Caroline, is found in The Laura Ingalls Wilder Songbook and referred to in the most harrowing book of Ingalls' series, The Long Winter. Snowed in in Dakota Territory during one of the harshest winters on record, near starvation, the family listens to the song with hope and dread: "The hymn blended with the wailing of the winds outside as Ma sat in her rocking chair and softly sang about the beautiful land where no storms ever beat." A traditional Métis jig includes both European (French, Scotch, and/or Irish) and Native influences, it's up-tempo, lively, and made for dancing. The Métis (a term at times loosely, at others strictly defined, here it is used to describe those of Native-Canadian or American-and European descent who trace their roots to the Upper Midwest or Canada) commonly included extra and irregular beats in jigs to challenge the quickness of a dancer's feet. Red River Jig is one of the most popular Métis fiddle tunes from the mid to late 1700's. Also found in Rickaby's collection and also sung by logger M.C. Dean, The Cumberland's Crew, though it describes an event that occurred far south (the sinking of the Union ship Cumberland off of Newport News, VA in 1862), was, according to Dean, "a great favorite among the boys." Johnson worked for a fraught and lonely mood with a bass flute solo followed by tight and often dissonant three-part harmonies. The shanty-boy worked alone, and, unlike the tunes sung by many other laborers, shanty-boy songs were not often accompaniment for group work. But in the evenings, when lumberjacks came together in camp, storytellers and singers were highly prized. Using extended techniques, the solo flute piece The Panther asks listeners to expand their ideas of what the flute can be and do. Johnson features the influence of Ojibwe music in this piece that drives aggressively forward like a chase. Minnesota Finnish communities often include Jos voisin laulaa (If I Could Sing) in celebrations of the festival of Midsummer (Juhannus). Joyce E. Hakala, in The Rowan Tree: The Lifework of Marjorie Edgar, Girl Scout Pioneer and Folklorist, includes the song and describes Edgar's work of collecting folk music, tales, proverbs and traditions from Finnish people on the Minnesota Iron Range. This song was sung for Edgar in Ely in 1930 and in Duluth in 1931, by various singers. Johnson's arrangement seeks to capture the enchanting mood of many Finnish folk songs. This version of Gary's Polka was collected by LeRoy Larson, head of the Minnesota Scandinavian Ensemble, and is a composite version of those played by Calmer Brenna, a Norwegian fiddler from Middle River, MN, and Bill Sherburne of Spring Grove. While the lazy beginning of Johnson's version was inspired by an old cowboy movie, the flute and clarinet runs in the second half play with both polka and jazz.
