Title: Jim Morrison Rare Words Author: Cyril Taylor-Carr Narrator: Kris Kristofferson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 9 minutes Release date: August 23, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: James Douglas Morrison was an American singer, poet, and songwriter who was the lead vocalist of the rock band the Doors. Due to his wild personality, poetic lyrics, distinctive voice, unpredictable and erratic performances, and the dramatic circumstances surrounding his life and early death, Morrison is regarded by music critics and fans as one of the most iconic and influential frontmen in rock history. Since his death, his fame has endured as one of the popular culture's most rebellious and oft-displayed icons, representing the generation gap and youth counterculture. Together with pianist Ray Manzarek, Morrison founded the Doors in 1965 in Venice, California. The group spent two years in obscurity until shooting to prominence with their number-one single in the United States, 'Light My Fire', taken from their self-titled debut album. Morrison recorded a total of six studio albums with the Doors, all of which sold well and received critical acclaim. Morrison was well known for improvising spoken word poetry passages while the band played live. Manzarek said Morrison 'embodied hippie counterculture rebellion'. Morrison developed an alcohol dependency throughout the band's career, which at times affected his performances on stage. In 1971, Morrison died unexpectedly in Paris at the age of 27, amid conflicting witness reports. His premature death made him a member of the infamous 27 club. Since no autopsy was performed, the cause of Morrison's death remains disputed. Kristoffer Kristofferson is a retired American singer, songwriter, and actor. Among his songwriting credits are 'Me and Bobby McGee', 'For the Good Times', 'Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down', and 'Help Me Make It Through the Night', all of which were hits for other artists.

Title: [Catalan] - Òperes explicades per a nens Author: Jordi Sierra I Fabra Narrator: Estel Solé Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 16 minutes Release date: August 17, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: 'De nen no tenia televisió. La música a través de la ràdio era la meitat del meu món, ja que l'altra el formava la literatura, devorar llibres. Moltes nits em quedava a escoltar les òperes que retransmetia Radio Nacional de España en directe. Quan el locutor descrivia el següent acte, la meva imaginació volava lliure.' I això és el que ha volgut transmetre'ns Jordi Sierra i Fabra, el mestre de la literatura infantil i juvenil, a través de les pàgines d'aquesta atípica òpera. De la mà de Falla, Ravel, Wagner o Puccini, ens portarà a un univers en el qual les paraules es fan més intenses, més poderoses, gràcies a la música que les condueix. Aquest audiollibre està narrat en català - Jordi Sierra i Fabra va néixer a Barcelona el 26 de juliol de 1947. És conegut per la seva obra com a escriptor de literatura infantil i juvenil i el seu treball com a periodista musical. La seva vocació d'escriptor és clara i ferma des de molt petit: confessa que va fer els seus primers passos amb tan sols vuit anys d'edat i als dotze anys ja va escriure la seva primera novel·la llarga, de cinc-centes pàgines. Malgrat la seva clara vocació, no comptava amb l'aprovació o l'entusiasme dels seus pares, que en acabar el batxillerat el van obligar a treballar en una empresa de construcció durant el dia i a estudiar per ser aparellador durant la nit. De la seva infància ha dit que 'vaig ser tres vegades reprimit: pel meu pare, pel règim i per l'escola franquista'. Tot i així, la seva determinació i la seva tenacitat són més fortes que qualsevol obstacle i les seves insistents cartes setmanals a la cadena de ràdio Cadena Ser el van portar a convertir-se en un dels fundadors de la revista 'El Gran Musical' el 1968. El 1970 va poder abandonar els estudis per convertir-se en comentarista musical, la qual cosa li va permetre viatjar per tot el món amb grups i artistes del moment mentre cobria les seves actuacions i escrivia reportatges.

Title: No Words An Autobiography 1953-1971 Author: Geoffrey Giuliano Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 33 minutes Release date: August 13, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Jeffrey Joseph Juliana, nee Geoffrey Giuliano, nee Jaganntha Dasa, is a man of many faces and adventures. A plumber's son from Western, New York now in his mid-sixties, this transient soul has experienced a wide swath of poverty, riches, fame, anonymity , hedonism and piety. At the same time 50% monk and 50% monkey, Giuliano is best known as the author of a shelfful of books on the Beatles and other rock icons, a well known film actor, world traveler, vegetarian activist, and very public devotee of Sri Krishna. Here is his rags to riches then back to rags story as told by himself, in an honest, enlightening, often shocking, sometimes humorous look back on the first nineteen years of his often unlikely life and times. This first installment of his autobiography focuses on the years 1953 to 1971 and his trek from small town kid, to all American 1960's hippie, to enthusiastic young seeker of Lord Krishna in the early years of the Hare Krishna Movement. While this is uniquely Geoffrey's story it is also a similar tale to many who lived through the same era. If the child is the father of the man then this collection of cutting memories explains a great deal about the bold, creative character Giuliano later became. There are many words here - many of them bad. Introduction / Dr. Timothy Leary Produced by Devin Lawrence in Vrndavana Mixed by Macc Kay in Bangkok Production executive Avalon Giuliano in Lisbon ICON intern Eden Giuliano in Bangkok Dedicated to the sacred memory of two pure devotees, H. G. Srimati Vrndarani Devi Dasi Maharani (1953-2017) and H. G. Srila Bhakti Hirday Mangal Niloy Gosvami Maharaj.

Title: Charlie Watts Rolling Stone: The Power Behind The Music Author: Geoffrey Giuliano Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 36 minutes Release date: August 6, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Charlie Watts June 2, 1941- August 24, 2021 A TRIBUTE FROM THE AUTHOR OF 'PAINT IT BLACK THE MURDER OF BRIAN JONES' AND 'THE ROLLING STONES ALBUM', SQUID GAME STAR GEOFFREY GIULIANO 'I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing.' 'I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night.' 'It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge.' 'I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.' Charlie Watts Charlie Watts provided the foundation that underpinned the music of the Rolling Stones. The band became a by-word for rock 'n' roll excess but for Watts, playing with the Stones did not become the ego trip that drove Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. A jazz aficionado, Watts vied with Bill Wyman for the title of least charismatic member of the band; he eschewed the limelight and rarely gave interviews. And he famously described life with the Stones as five years of playing, 20 years of hanging around. Charles Robert Watts was born on 2 June 1941 at the University College Hospital in London and was raised in Kingsbury, now part of the London Borough of Brent. His father was a lorry driver and Watts was brought up in a prefabricated house to which the family had moved after German bombs destroyed hundreds of houses in the area. A childhood friend once described how Watts had an early interest in jazz and recalled listening to 78s in Charlie's bedroom by artists such as Jelly Roll Morton and Charlie Parker.
