Title: Domesticated: Vol 1 Author: James Domestic Narrator: James Domestic Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 40 minutes Release date: August 20, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: In this often witty, sometimes furious, and sometimes downright surreal collection, James Domestic does - as per usual - whatever the hell he likes, with poetry, prose, and lyrics, all thrown into the mix with abandon. Punk, politics, habit, the nature of work, the environment, nostalgia, aging, and some quintessentially British whimsy, all crammed in together like a last minute bag hurriedly packed for tour. Somehow it works. A man in too many bands to count (The Domestics, PI$$ER, Da Groins, Tokyo Lungs... that's not even half of 'em), a solo artist, a vocalist, a songwriter, a DJ, a poet, a painter, someone who failed miserably at school, spent his early post-school life between the chemical factory and the dole, and somehow now has a PhD (yep, it's genuinely Dr Domestic!). A square peg in life's round hole. A face that never really fitted. He couldn't care less. Come along for the ride. Domesticated is an eighty page collection of James Domestics street-poetry and punk-prose. He's always on the road and at the gigs. His poetry has earned him comparisons to John Cooper Clarke, Ivor Cutler, Spike Milligan and Banjamin Zephaniah, amongst others.

Mcglasson Narrator: Jenny Holmer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 30 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: He had the face of a true villain, chiseled to perfection. Director Sergio Leone, best-known for “the Man with No Name” spaghetti western trilogy, once described Van Cleef as having the face of a hawk; actor Eli Wallach called it “wonderfully alive” and full of wickedness. As an actor, Van Cleef portrayed some of the best movie villains of all time—Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and Frank Talby in Day of Anger. Although more than thirty years have passed since his premature death in 1989, Lee Van Cleef remains a cinematic icon for millions of film fans worldwide, and his legacy as the “Best of the Bad” is set in granite. Lee Van Cleef: Best of the Bad explores the life and career of this great actor, a man with unbounded talent and a heart of finely-polished gold. Through interviews and numerous sources, Best of the Bad reveals the real Lee Van Cleef and discusses his roles in For A Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and Day of Anger, along with chapters on mythic archetypes and historical gunfighters and bounty hunters. Also included is a foreword by Mike Malloy, author of Lee Van Cleef: A Biographical, Film, and Television Reference.

Title: Do Different: The Untold Dhoni Author: Amit Sinha, Joy Bhattacharjya Narrator: Sahil Dhandhia Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 26 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Out of the box thinking, ruthless pragmatism and an innate ability to understand, define and then redefine the game of cricket are probably the hallmarks of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's cricket. From hitting countless sixes in his school ground in the sleepy town of Ranchi to finishing a run chase with another towering six in a World Cup final against Sri Lanka, Dhoni's journey is undoubtedly one of the most iconic of our times. Many have tried to decode his mystique, and yet, every account seems to have fallen frustratingly short of capturing the essence of the man. Instead, in Do Different, we offer diverse perspectives on the man: from a fellow wicketkeeper and competitor reminiscing on Dhoni's early years; to MSD's first agent with his perspective on the journey of brand Dhoni; to an international fast bowler who played with MSD since his first-class days and then starred for him in the Indian Premier League. From the matches and moments that defined Dhoni in the IPL, in international cricket and even off the field, to his life beyond the game of cricket, this is your ultimate MSD book.

Title: [German] - Fucked by Rock `n`Roll: Punkrock, Sex & Notaufnahme Author: George Von Klitzing Narrator: George Von Klitzing Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 41 minutes Release date: July 31, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Debüt Roman von George von Klitzing 'Fucked by Rock`n` Roll hinterlässt bleibende Spuren beim Leser. Gut so.' (Dr. Sommerschnee, 'Schlüsselloch') 'Ein rasantes Buch, wie ein Schlag in die Fresse. Tut aber nicht weh' (Frank Paselacki, 'Buxtehuder Käseblatt') 'Ein feister Schmöker wie er klingen sollte. Dreckig, laut und asozial' (Ben Todeskino, 'Balearen-Kurier') 'Nach dem Lesen musste ich erstmal duschen. Meine Leber. Mit Bier.' (Wendelbert Kekemeister, 'Apotheken Rundschau') Die randvollen Bierbecher flogen Clemens nur so um die Ohren! Das war hier kein Konzert mehr, es war Krieg! An einem Samstagabend traten sie mit ihrer Band in der Hamburger Markthalle im Vorprogramm der Kassierer auf. Der Puff war gerammelt voll und die Leute auch. Die Becher flogen nicht, weil die Band so schlecht war, sondern weil die Deppen einfach keine Ahnung vom guten Timing bei einer Bierdusche hatten. Als zweites von drei Kindern wuchs Clemens sehr behütet und konservativ erzogen in einem Dorf im Süden Dortmunds auf. Er bekam von seinen Eltern das volle Programm verpasst, in der Hoffnung, dass aus dem Bengel mal was wird: Fußball, Tennis, Feldhockey, Tanzschule, Cellounterricht, Pfadfinder und Teilnehmer bei Adel auf dem Radel. Das war so ganz weit weg von Punkrock. Egal, Clemens war stur, heiß und felsenfest davon überzeugt, mal ein ganz Geiler zu werden. Im zarten Alter von 29 Jahren wurde es ihm endgültig zu eng in Dortmund. Die Welt schrie seinen Namen und er wollte sie nicht länger zappeln lassen! In den folgenden Jahren gründete Clemens in seiner Wahlheimat Hamburg nun eine Band nach der anderen, immer in der Hoffnung, die Gang zu finden mit der er die Welt erobern konnte. Es folgten Jahre voller Hysterie & Wahnsinn!

Title: My Army Days with Elvis Author: Johnny Lang Narrator: Hank Hart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 31 minutes Release date: July 25, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: What was Elvis like in those early Army Days? The question I get most is 'what was he like?' It's hard to give a blanket answer because I knew the 22-year-old version of what everyone else sees in the media and those tell all books. We were kids, clowning around having fun, playing football, chasing girls. I didn't know him in his turbulent years or have exposure to any prescription pill use or so-called mood swings. I only knew the young, very funny, unvarnished version of him. Hopefully the stories in this book shed more light on what he was really like. A number of years ago, The National Enquirer wanted to pay me for an interview and was looking for dirt. Not a chance. I enjoyed being Elvis' friend in those early days of his career. For decades, many people have asked me to write this book...so now in my 80s here it is. I had fun telling these stories and you will laugh or even find it touching, but simply enjoy the real Elvis in the Army. I have also included for you some stories by his singing buddy, Wes Daniels, as well as some romantic stuff shared by his early girlfriend and first secretary, Elisabeth Mansfield. - Johnny Lang

La vida de Gustavo Cerati Author: Sergio Marchi Narrator: Sebastian Diaz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 30 minutes Release date: July 20, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: La biografía definitiva de Gustavo Cerati, uno de los músicos argentinos de mayor trascendencia internacional, escrita por uno de los periodistas e historiadores que mejor lo conoció, y que pone en un mismo, exhaustivo tomo, hecho de infinidad de entrevistas y un enorme archivo personal, las distintas dimensiones del hombre y el artista, su recorrido vital, su fuerza creativa y su enorme legado. La perfección es inalcanzable. Sin embargo, Gustavo Cerati la buscó con fuerza y pasión en su arte. En conexión con ese espíritu irreductible, Algún tiempo atrás. La vida de Gustavo Cerati aborda el recorrido vital y creativo del hombre y del artista con la misma conciencia -la de que hay enigmas de imposible resolución- pero sin limitarse jamás en su afanosa investigación. Decidido a recuperar la parte más luminosa de esta figura única, la de uno de los músicos argentinos de mayor proyección internacional, Sergio Marchi no deja rincón sin visitar: en procura tanto del compositor e intérprete que trascendió masivamente con Soda Stereo y luego se reinventó en una extraordinaria carrera solista, como del hijo de una familia trabajadora que -dato que suele olvidarse bajo el prejuicioso mito del 'cheto'- llegó desde el interior del país a la Buenos Aires de los 50; del niño travieso, curioso y activo; del adolescente insaciable que conoció la ebullición rockera de los 70; de ese muchacho que supo que habría de hacerse a sí mismo a fuerza de talento y también de trabajo. Del ser enamoradizo que encontró en las mujeres un manantial inagotable de inspiración, mucho amor y no pocos padecimientos; del marido y padre que anheló ser. Del obrero musical que muy poca gente conoció; que experimentó con el rock, el pop, la electrónica, con la tecnología y con sus pelos. Y de la estrella hábil, escurridiza y audaz que lidió con adversidades externas e internas y supo sortear muchas de las trampas de la fama. Del hombre que transitó varias lunas y unas cuantas vidas. En virtud de una investigación minuciosa, una multitud de entrevistas exclusivas a otros artistas, amigos y allegados, y un archivo personal enorme forjado a través de una relación de años que fue un vínculo profesional pero también de afecto y complicidad, Marchi pone en juego las múltiples dimensiones de este hacedor de universos, desbarata algunas falsas creencias y recupera la magia de un personaje a la vez mítico y absolutamente real y sensible, de carne y hueso.
