OUT NOW!!! 'Stairway To Nowhere' - Luke Sky
"Hope all is groovy with you all ... and I thought you all might like to know that my book, the Fàshiön memoir 'Stairway to Nowhere' is finally available!"
"This is the true, unexpurgated, twisted story (with pictures) of the original Fàshiön line-up (1978-80)."
"There are even a couple of FREE, previously unreleased Fàshiön MP3s for anyone who buys a copy of the book."
"Thank you for helping support a legend in his own lip gloss!" - Luke Sky
'Stairway To Nowhere' is the true story of late 1970’s, Birmingham, UK band Fàshiön.
In the brief spotlight of their fifteen minutes of fame, Fàshiön toured both the USA and UK as opening band for The Police, did a UK club tour with a then unknown band from Ireland called U2, opened for The B52’S on their first ever UK tour, and had a new band called Duran Duran open shows for them.
The book tells the story of how four young, unemployed working class gits from the gutters of Brum donned make-up, attitude, weird clothes and swaggered forth to escape the dreaded clutches Birmingham’s car factory mentality by conquering the music business.
On their voyage of escape and discovery, Fàshiön encounter a plethora of the music industry’s sickest practitioners. Join them on their headlong flight up the stairway to nowhere, as they cobble together some of the most innovative and original pop music of the time.
'The Eat-Clean Diet' by Tosca Reno (Paperback / 362 Pages / Robert Kennedy Publishing / ISBN: 1552100677 / $19.95) helped readers understand how to stay healthy and lean forever. Three years later, hundreds of thousands of superstars, personal trainers and regular everyday people have overcome their weight and health problems by following The Eat-Clean Diet.
This larger, revised and fully updated edition offers in-depth information on: non-threatening exercise; extending and improving your life o getting - and staying - motivated; getting rid of cellulite; tightening your skin; combating the harsh effects of menopause.
Plus! Nearly 100 new pages; Total redesign; 50 new recipes; Information on eating disorders; Menu plans for different diets; The Quick Eat-Clean Diet at a glance.
A Satisfied Customer Review: I purchased the original 'Eat Clean Diet' book a while back and liked it. My doctor told me a few months ago that eating six small meals a day with lean protein and complex carbohydrates is absolutely the best way to eat. I subscribe to Oxygen and Clean Eating magazines, so I know all about how to accomplish this way of life.
My problem has always been putting the knowledge into action. That's where this book comes in for me. I hesitated to buy it, but decided that my life could use some "recharging". I am so glad that I bought this book! It is truly inspiring and has gotten me off the couch and really eating clean.
Borrowing some info from someone that can write this better than myself, there are 17 chapters, and each one is color coded at the bottom right hand corner for ease of flipping through the chapters. At the beginning of the book we learn the Eat-Clean principles, which are also summarized neatly on one page, and include for example eating six meals a day and combining lean protein with complex carbs at each mini-meal. We also learn what to expect, the basics of metabolism, and the power of water.
The middle chapters deal with getting inspired, shopping clean, eating clean while traveling and in social situations (even includes a chart for fast food dining), and how to exercise. The latter chapters involve cellulite, loose skin and sags, longevity, superfoods, meal plans and grocery lists. Gluten-free and vegan meal plans are included. Some of the superfoods include game meat, coconut, seafood, chia seeds, and kefir. She explains how you can benefit from 5 cents a day worth of flaxseeds.
This book put into perspective not only what I was doing to my own body, but also the example I've been setting for my children. I always figured that eating clean was complicated, time consuming, and expensive. This book is extremely motivating and gives tons of tips on how eating clean can be so simple and affordable even for a busy mom with three picky children. Thanks to Tosca for updating and expanding the original book. [AM]
CAVO HIT THE ROAD FOR SECOND LEG OF DAUGHTRY TOUR!
After an extensive U.S arena tour this fall, Cavo will join Daughtry again for the second leg of the North American run. The spring tour, which also includes special guest Lifehouse, begins March 18th in Baltimore, MD, and criss-crosses the country through mid-June. Cavo will also support Puddle of Mudd and Chevelle on nine upcoming shows in February.
The St. Louis rock band, which features vocalist Casey Walker, guitarist Chris Hobbs, bassist Brian Smith and drummer Chad Laroy, is on the road to support their major label debut, Bright Nights Dark Days, released on Reprise Records in August. The album was produced by David Bendeth (Breaking Benjamin, Paramore, All Time Low) and spawned the rock radio hit “Champagne.” The track climbed to No. 1 on both the BDS/Billboard Active Rock and Mainstream Rock charts, making Cavo the first new artist to hit the top spot on the Mainstream chart since 2003.
The band’s second single, “Crash,” is now Top 10 on the Active Rock chart and continues to climb. Cavo’s third single, “Let It Go” just hit radio and is building at Hot AC and Top 40 formats with an audience totaling more than 6 million. The highly anticipated crossover track first appeared last summer on the soundtrack to the blockbuster movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
On January 12th, Cavo released a four-song digital live EP, entitled Crash Live, which is currently available for purchase on iTunes and was spotlighted by the digital retailer in its “New and Noteworthy” section.

There are two sides to every story, as the old adage goes, and there are certainly two sides to the story of singer-songwriter Laura Bell Bundy’s daring Mercury Records debut release, Achin’ and Shakin’. Laura Bell bypassed the tried-and-true Music Row approach usually taken on country albums and instead created a bold concept album that is essentially two separate albums within one project.
The album’s title aptly describes the project’s division: Achin’ is a collection of slow and sultry country songs and Shakin’ is a group of sassy songs that are equal parts humor, confidence and attitude. One side presents a modern-day mixture of Loretta Lynn, Minnie Pearl and Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw; the other unveils country’s answer to Norah Jones.
The debut single, “Giddy On Up,” is an irresistibly upbeat and saucy kiss-off to a cheating lover, while the romantic “Drop On By” oozes sensuality as she beckons a lover to visit. Both sides pay homage to traditional country and soul music with a reinterpretation featuring modern production. “’Two records, one woman’ is my motto,” jokes Laura Bell, who penned all but one of the songs on the album.
“I have two different sides of my personality,” she explains. “I have a crazy, wild, humorous, outspoken personality, and then I have a depth that only opens up when I am alone or with one other person, and that is captured with this album. I really couldn’t do one without the other.”
“I listen to music depending upon the mood that I’m in. If I want to chill out, I will listen to certain music and almost make a playlist for it. If I am running or driving and want to hear up-paced music, I listen to different songs, so I created a two-sided album.”
Her 1st video "Giddy On Up" world premiered on CMT and CMT.com 01/18!
Book shops like this aren't supposed to exist anymore, certainly not in expensive Manhattan real estate, but here The Mysterious Bookshop is, selling an unequaled collection of new, used and rare mystery, suspense, crime and detective titles.
The charming space holds no shortage of new titles, but the collection of rare books and signed first editions is the most interesting.
Otto Penzler is the proprietor of 'The Mysterious Bookshop' in New York City, which celebrated its 30th anniversary on April 13, 2009. He was the publisher of The Armchair Detective, the Edgar_winning quarterly journal devoted to the study of mystery and suspense fiction, for seventeen years. Mr. Penzler was the founder of The Mysterious Press and also created the publishing firms of Otto Penzler Books and The Armchair Detective Library.
He currently has imprints at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in the United States and Atlantic Books in the U.K., publishing such authors as Thomas H. Cook, Andrew Klavan, Thomas Perry and Joyce Carol Oates. And, before they went out of business, he also wrote a weekly column, "The Crime Scene," for The New York Sun.
In 1977, he won an Edgar Award for the Encyclopedia of Mystery and Detection. The Mystery Writers of America gave him the prestigious Ellery Queen Award in 1994 for his exceptional contributions to the publishing field. He was also honored with its highest non-writing award, the Raven, in 2003.
Mr. Penzler's most recent publications are The Black Lizard Big Book of Pulps (Vintage), The Vicious Circle and Uncertain Endings (Pegasus), Dead Man’s Hand (Harcourt), and now the just-released The Lineup: The World's Greatest Crime Writers Tell the Inside Story of Their Greatest Detectives (Little, Brown).
