Sects, Love, and Rock & Roll: My Life on Record (Paperback)

Sects, Love, and Rock & Roll: My Life on Record (Paperback)
By Joel Heng Hartse

Buy new: $23.00

First tagged by Joel
Customer tags: christianity, rock music, popular music, culture

Review & Description

Church camp sing-alongs gone horribly wrong, infatuation with Christian contemporary music, teenage love set to an indie rock soundtrack, playing rock music in churches and church music in rock clubs, betrayal by Christian bands-Sects, Love, and Rock & Roll is a book about how listening to music makes us who we are, and an exploration of the intersections between evangelical church culture and the pop music scene. In these essays Joel Heng Hartse, a know-it-all pop critic whose musical past includes more MxPx than AC/DC, combines laugh-out-loud humor with thoughtful reflection to describe how his obsession with rock and roll has shaped his faith, and how living in the shadow of God and guitars can transform us all.

Based in Portland, OR., Floater has received two preliminary Grammy nominations, toured the USA and Canada. Their sound includes elements of rock, psychedelia, reggae, pop and even jazz, yet is so wholly original that you know within seconds that you are hearing a Floater song.

Review & Description

Out of print in the U.S.! American Rock icon and Rock 'N' Roll survivor, John Mellencamp has been creating some of the finest roots-based Rock music for over 30 years. This 2001 album is no exception. 10 tracks. Sony/BMG.You pretty much know what to expect from a John Mellencamp album at this point in time, and Cuttin' Heads certainly won't disappoint the Midwest rock troubadour's diehard fans. In fact, Mellencamp's 18th album is arguably his most engaging, and coincidentally timely, since 1989's Big Daddy. "Peaceful World," a beautiful folk-rocker featuring guest vocalist India Arie, takes on a more poignant and ironic tone in light of the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Public Enemy's Chuck D contributes a fabulous rap on the opening title track, which, like "Peaceful World," addresses American racism. Elsewhere, Mellencamp offers up typical fare, including several love tunes (Trisha Yearwood duets on "Deep Blue Heart"), the calypso-like "Crazy Island," and a lyric on "Women Seem" that's ornery enough to still merit the Little Bastard nickname he once gave himself. It's not Scarecrow, but it's still a fine effort. --Bill Holdship Read more

Review & Description

"Jimi Hendrix is primarily looked at as a Rock musician, which is fine, but he is much more. From his seminal beginnings on the R&B chitlin' circuit to his whirlwind international fame, Jimi Hendrix took from all sources musically. The consummate musician, Jimi was looking for any and every opportunity to jam with like-minded musicians, who did not want to be caged by musical categories. Almost by chance, Jimi was involved in two pioneering performances that launched two genres, that would dominate the African-American music scene for multiple decades (1970's—present). These genres are P-Funk and Hip-Hop!

This is not a Jimi Hendrix biography, because that has already been done multiple times. Nobody Cages Me! is told from the perspective of a young African-American male, who had to discover Hendrix on his own. It took the popular wrestler Hulk Hogan to connect the author with Jimi Hendrix. The author's journey to Hendrix is a unique story in of itself.

About the Author
Corey Washington is an Educator/Author/Blogger/Journalist from Augusta, Georgia. He is also the author of Plain Talk volumes 1 and 2 (a two part series designed to promote cultural diversity and awareness). He holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Middle Grades Education from Augusta State University. Born in New York City during the twilight of Disco and the dawn of Hip-Hop(1976), the author did not discover Jimi Hendrix until 1997. Since then, he has studied and listened to every Hendrix recording and book that he could get his hands on. He hopes Nobody Cages Me! will get some people to see beyond the parameters of traditional ""White"" and ""Black"" music
