Beastie Boys. El Libro
El libro definitivo sobre Beastie Boys. Todo lo que querías saber sobre la icónica banda neoyorkina. Fundada en Nueva York en 1981, Beastie Boys se abrió paso hasta llegar a lo más alto del hip hop. Este monumental libro revela por primera vez su historia, en palabras de la banda. Horovitz y Diamond nos ofrecen una multitud de relatos hilarantes sobre los cambios de estilo del grupo, sus colaboraciones o la creación de su álbum debut, que se convirtió en el primer disco de hip hop en alcanzar el número uno. Durante más de treinta años, Beastie Boys ha tenido una influencia irrefutable en la cultura popular, un influjo que persiste todavía hoy. Tan peculiar y ecléctico como la banda, este libro, planteado también como un homenaje a Adam Yauch (MCA), el tercer miembro de la banda, fallecido en 2012, supone una vuelta de tuerca a las clásicas memorias musicales: aquí el lector encontrará desde insólitas fotos hasta ilustraciones originales o cartas manuscritas. Este volumen recoge, además, impresiones de personalidades como Amy Poehler, Wes Anderson o Colson Whitehead. La crítica ha dicho... « Beastie Boys resulta un cajón de sastre felizmente imprevisible, pergeñado con generosidad en más de quinientas páginas donde cabe todo: ilustración, cómic, listas de reproducción, una mayúscula colección de fotografías a todo color# Una oda al eclecticismo musical, a Nueva York y a la amistad.» Raül Jiménez, Indienauta «Un lujopara quien quiera adentrarse en la vida de la banda o bien porque la conozca o porque quiera descubrirla.» La Razón «Este libro consiste en el último gran regalo de los Beastie Boys al mundo.» Javier Blánquez, El Mundo «Más de 500 páginas salvajemente humorísticas.» David Morán, ABC «Un espectacular, completo y delicioso mamotreto." David García, Yorokobu «Esta entretenida mirada a la historia de los Beastie Boys es tan innovadora y escandalosa como la música de la banda.» Publishers Weekly (reseña destacada) «Un libro fascinante, generoso, con retratos y detalles que flotan en ráfagas de color... Como en los álbumes [de la banda], la estructura del libro es trama lírica de tres hombres... La amistad es el tema principal, junto con la música, la fama y la ciudad de Nueva York.» The New York Times Book Review «Salvaje, conmovedor... se parece a un LP de Beatie Boys en cuanto a la variedad de estilos.» Rolling Stone «Tan chiflado, irreverente y divertido como crees que será.» Vogue «Tan despreocupados y divertidos como sus álbumes... un talismán bellamente caótico (y grande) que contiene en su interior muchas de las grandes alegrías y sorpresas que vienen al escuchar a los Beastie Boys.» The AV Club «Horovitz y Diamond comparten momentos sinceros de reflexión sobre su música, su amistad y el chico que les enseñó a reparar radiadores, a preocuparse por los derechos humanos, a reconocer sus errores y crecer.» NPR «Repleto de anécdotas de giras, cartas personales, listas de reproducción, cómics y fotografías, [el libro de los Beastie Boys] complementa los treinta años de historia de la bandaen la industria de la música y es apropiadamente descomunal.» Los Angeles Times

Beastie Boys Book
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A panoramic experience that tells the story of Beastie Boys, a book as unique as the band itself—by band members ADROCK and Mike D, with contributions from Amy Poehler, Colson Whitehead, Wes Anderson, Luc Sante, and more. The inspiration for the Emmy-nominated Apple TV+ “live documentary” Beastie Boys Story, directed by Spike Jonze NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Rolling Stone • The Guardian • Paste Formed as a New York City hardcore band in 1981, Beastie Boys struck an unlikely path to global hip hop superstardom. Here is their story, told for the first time in the words of the band. Adam “ADROCK” Horovitz and Michael “Mike D” Diamond offer revealing and very funny accounts of their transition from teenage punks to budding rappers; their early collaboration with Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin; the debut album that became the first hip hop record ever to hit #1, Licensed to Ill—and the album’s messy fallout as the band broke with Def Jam; their move to Los Angeles and rebirth with the genre-defying masterpiece Paul’s Boutique; their evolution as musicians and social activists over the course of the classic albums Check Your Head, Ill Communication, and Hello Nasty and the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits conceived by the late Adam “MCA” Yauch; and more. For more than thirty years, this band has had an inescapable and indelible influence on popular culture. With a style as distinctive and eclectic as a Beastie Boys album, Beastie Boys Book upends the typical music memoir. Alongside the band narrative you will find rare photos, original illustrations, a cookbook by chef Roy Choi, a graphic novel, a map of Beastie Boys’ New York, mixtape playlists, pieces by guest contributors, and many more surprises. Praise for Beastie Boys Book “A fascinating, generous book with portraits and detail that float by in bursts of color . . . As with [the band’s] records, the book’s structure is a lyrical three-man weave. . . . Diamond’s voice is lapidary, droll. Horovitz comes on like a borscht belt comedian, but beneath that he is urgent, incredulous, kind of vulnerable. . . . Friendship is the book’s subject as much as music, fame and New York.”—The New York Times Book Review “Wild, moving . . . resembles a Beastie Boys LP in its wild variety of styles.”—Rolling Stone

Thousand Laurie Lees
‘As a writer he was the disengaged onlooker who understood how his presence altered a place or a situation.’ This is how The Independent described Laurie Lee in their 1997 obituary of the much-loved author. In A Thousand Laurie Lees, another poet, Adam Horovitz, explores not only how the Slad Valley informed the man and his writing but also how the valley itself was affected by its association with such an international figure; and how it has retained its particular identity since its description in Cider with Rosie. Shortly after Laurie Lee’s death in 1997, a handful of locals dressed up as Lee and cycled right through the heart of Cider with Rosie country, stopping off at all the pubs on the way. They called their journey ‘The Night of a thousand Laurie Lees’. Slad valley man Horovitz draws on memoir, myth and literature inspired by the valley and his walks through the Slad landscape, charting what has changed and what remains, from badger setts to ‘Notting Hill in Wellies,’ to celebrate the man and the landscape that made him.
