The group’s obdurate dedication to shape-shifting reinvention charmed and frustrated in equal measure, and often simultaneously. Any conversation of who or what Joan of Arc is must also consider what the band is not—beyond a unit that avoided convention. Only one person, band-leader Tim Kinsella, remained in Joan of Arc from its 1996 debut to its final days in 2020. For nearly a quarter century, Joan of Arc maintained a fluid lineup that drew from a multitude of subversive Chicago music communities. Every musician and behind-the-scenes collaborator that played a role in Joan of Arc (a number that exceeds 100) influenced the band’s direction and character. All the while, Tim helped maintain Joan of Arc’s singular identity throughout all the shifts. No two Joan of Arc albums sound identical, but if you listen close enough, you trace ideas that took root on one LP and blossomed in the next. This book expands and deepens the story of Joan of Arc’s first five albums (its Jade Tree period) with archival photos and pages ripped from Tim’s journals, presented alongside Tim’s recollections and a compact early history. This book comes with a live recording of the one and only show by Red Blue Yellow—the band Tim started just before Joan of Arc—presented here on a 7\", along with download code for a couple hundred bonus tracks from the group’s archives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—Leor Galil, July 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e132 page deluxe bound book Dimensions 9.25” x 9.25” x 1” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFirst Printing, hand-numbered edition of 1,000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded 7\" on red blue yellow tricolor vinyl featuring Red Blue Yellow (proto-JOA band) - Live at the Fireside Bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA deep dive into the band’s formation and Jade Tree era, featuring Tim Kinsella’s personal journals, photos, and essays recounting their first five records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIncludes tri-color 7” of proto-JOA band’s singular performance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIncludes download of archival audio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIntro written by Chicago Reader’s Leor Gali\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Joyful Noise Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51509568962882,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6839\/4562\/files\/joan-of-arc-a-window-a-mirror-book-7-1483303.jpg?v=1762843601"},{"product_id":"phantom-bay-rite-of-passage-corona-green-white-vinyl-7-import","title":"Phantom Bay: Rite Of Passage: Corona Green\/White Vinyl 7\" (Import)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorona Green \u0026amp; White 7\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAfter a debut album in 2022, an EP in 2023, shows with Turnstile, Militarie Gun, Thursday and Refused, as well as tours across the US and UK, Phantom Bay returns with Rite of Passage — three songs, under ten minutes, and some of their most focused and emotionally direct work to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLife's Close channels perseverance and resilience into something almost devotional — a song that keeps pounding not out of aggression, but out of genuine conviction that forward motion, however small, is enough.

As a descriptor and as a source of influence, it is used in more ways and by more bands than anyone could have dreamed of 30 years ago.

His analysis is woven through dozens of original interviews with artists, label heads, and critics.

Like John Bonham's ludicrous, mansion-backed stomp at the start of \"When The Levee Breaks\"-only far less expensive-the crisp, trebly snare sound with which Martin Hannett would make his career announced Unknown Pleasures as a finessed, foreboding masterpiece. Peter Hook's compressed bass rides up front as \"Disorder\" comes together, but it's not until the hugely reverbed, minor note guitar line crashes through that you can understand the need for such a muted, analog treatment to Hook's line. Layering a few tracks together to create a six-string shriek, Hannett's equalization cuts the brunt of Sumner's fuller live sound down to an echoing squeal, revealing a desperation born of longing rather than rage.

Elliott Smith's XO should not be one of them. Smith's 1998 major label debut defies the \"tortured singer-songwriter\" stereotype, and takes up this defiance as a central theme. At a time when Smith was being groomed for a particular (and particularly condescending) brand of stardom, he produced a record that eviscerated one of the central assumptions of singersongwriterdom: that pain is beautiful. XO insists that romanticizing personal tragedy can only leave you \"deaf and dumb and done.\" And it backs up this claim with some of the most artful and intelligent music of its day. Matthew LeMay writes an original take on a widely beloved album, steering clear of the sensationalist suicide angles that have dogged most analysis of Elliott Smith's extraordinary work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003ePart One: \"Making Something From Nothing\"\u003cbr\u003e- The \"Story\" of XO\u003cbr\u003e- XO Song by Song\u003cbr\u003ePart 2: \"Pictures of Me\"\u003cbr\u003eSources\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: Apr 01 2009\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1st\u003cbr\u003ePages: 144\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780826429001\u003cbr\u003eImprint: Continuum\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 6 x 5 inches\u003cbr\u003eSeries: 33 1\/3\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55856226304322,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6839\/4562\/files\/9780826429001.jpg?v=1786537453"},{"product_id":"sigur-ross-33-1-3-series-ethan-hayden-softcover-book","title":"Sigur Rós's ( ): 33 1\/3 Series: Ethan Hayden: Softcover Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftcover Book | 168 Pages | 6\" X 5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWords like \"inspiring,\" \"expansive,\" and \"moving\" are regularly used to describe Sigur Rós's ( ), and yet the only words heard on the record itself are a handful of meaningless nonsense syllables. The album has no title-or rather, its title is no title: just an empty pair of parentheses. The intention being that listeners will fill in the parentheses with their own title, their own interpretation of the sounds on the record. The CD sleeve consists of twelve pages that are essentially blank, lacking song titles, liner notes or production credits. Instead, it contains only semi-translucent frosted images of abstract natural scenes (tree branches, clouds, etc.), on which the listener is free to inscribe their own notes-or no notes at all. And then there are the lyrics, sung in a deliberately unintelligible tongue called \"Hopelandic\" which the band invites listeners to interpret freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEthan Hayden's book doesn't try to fill in the gaps between the album's parentheses, but instead explores the ways in which listeners might attempt to do so. Examining the communicative powers of asemantic language, the book asks whether music can bring sense to nonsense. What happens to the voice when it stops singing conventional language: does it simply become another musical instrument, or is it somehow more \"human\"? What role does space play on ( )? And how do we interpret music that we cannot possibly understand, but feel very deeply that we do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eacknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e(\u003cbr\u003enonsense\u003cbr\u003evoice\u003cbr\u003espace\u003cbr\u003ehope\u003cbr\u003e)\u003cbr\u003ebibliography\u003cbr\u003eindex\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: Aug 28 2014\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1st\u003cbr\u003ePages: 168\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781623568924\u003cbr\u003eImprint: Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 6 x 5 inches\u003cbr\u003eSeries: 33 1\/3\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55856723951938,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6839\/4562\/files\/9781623568924.jpg?v=1786538893"},{"product_id":"neutral-milk-hotels-in-the-aeroplane-over-the-sea-33-1-3-series-kim-cooper-softcover-book","title":"Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea: 33 1\/3 Series: Kim Cooper: Softcover Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftcover Book | 120 Pages | 6\" X 5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf all the recordings to emerge from the Athens-via-Denver collective called Elephant 6, Neutral Milk Hotel's second album is the one that has worked its way under the most skins. Magnet magazine named it the best album of the 1990s, and Creative Loafing recently devoted a cover story to one fan's quest to understand why band leader Jeff Mangum dropped out of sight soon after Aeroplane's release. The record sells steadily to an audience that finds it through word of mouth. Weird, beautiful, absorbing, difficult, In The Aeroplane Over the Sea is a surrealist text loosely based on the life, suffering and reincarnation of Anne Frank, with guest appearances from a pair of Siamese twins menaced by the cold and carnivores, a two-headed boy bobbing in a jar, anthropomorphic vegetables and a variety of immature erotic horrors. Mangum sings his dreamlike narratives with a dreamer's intensity, his creaky, off key voice occasionally breaking as he struggles to complete each dense couplet. The music is like nothing else in the 90s indie underground: a psychedelic brass band, its members self-taught, forging polychromatic washes of mood and tribute. The songs stick to one narrow key, the images repeat and circle back, and to listen is to be absorbed into a singular, heart-rending vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: Nov 16 2005\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1st\u003cbr\u003ePages: 120\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780826416902\u003cbr\u003eImprint: Continuum\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 6 x 5 inches\u003cbr\u003eSeries: 33 1\/3\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55856798433602,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6839\/4562\/files\/9780826416902.jpg?v=1786539076"},{"product_id":"the-pixies-doolittle-33-1-3-series-ben-sisario-softcover-book","title":"The Pixies' Doolittle: 33 1\/3 Series: Ben Sisario: Softcover Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftcover Book | 136 Pages | 6\" X 5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Pixies have had a career unlike any other in alternative rock, disappearing as not-quite-the-next-big-things only to become gods in absentia. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDoolittle \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis their knotty masterpiece, the embodiment of the Pixies' abrasive, exuberant, enigmatic pop.

Few single albums can lay claim to sparking an entire genre, but Spiderland-all six songs of it-laid the foundation for post rock in the 1990s.

The story, helped by in-depth interviews with band members David Pajo and Todd Brashear, explores the formation of Slint, the recording of Tweez, and the band's dramatic move into the sound of Spiderland. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003ePart 1 - The Early Years\u003cbr\u003ePart 2 - Slint, pre-Spiderland\u003cbr\u003ePart 3 - Recording Spiderland\u003cbr\u003ePart 4 - Track by Track\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: Nov 11 2010\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1st\u003cbr\u003ePages: 160\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781441170262\u003cbr\u003eImprint: Continuum\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations: 8\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 6 x 5 inches\u003cbr\u003eSeries: 33 1\/3\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55856960897346,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6839\/4562\/files\/9781441170262.jpg?v=1786540263"},{"product_id":"the-jesus-and-mary-chains-psychocandy-33-1-3-series-paula-mejia-softcover-book","title":"The Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy: 33 1\/3 Series: Paula Mejia: Softcover Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftcover Book | 136 Pages | 6\" X 5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jesus and Mary Chain's swooning debut Psychocandy seared through the underground and through the pop charts, shifting the role of noise within pop music forever. Post-punk and pro-confusion, Psychocandy became the sound of a generation poised on the brink of revolution, establishing Creation Records as a tastemaking entity in the process. The Scottish band's notorious live performances were both punishingly loud and riot-spurring, inevitably acting as socio-political commentary on tensions emergent in mid-1980s Britain. Through caustic clangs and feedback channeling the rage of the working-class who'd had enough, Psychocandy gestures toward the perverse pleasure in having your eardrums exploded and loudness as a politics within itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet Psychocandy's blackened candy heart center – calling out to phantoms Candy and Honey with an unsettling charm – makes it a pop album to the core, and not unlike the sugarcoated sounds the Ronettes became famous for in the 1960s. The Jesus and Mary Chain expertly carved out a place where depravity and sweetness entwined, emerging from the isolating underground of suburban Scotland grasping the distinct sound of a generation, apathetic and uncertain. The irresistible Psychocandy emerged as a clairvoyant account of struggle and sweetness that still causes us to grapple with pop music's relation to ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Taste the Floor\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: Never Understand\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: Just Like Honey\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: In a Hole\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: Sowing Seeds\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five: Taste of Cindy\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six: Some Candy Talking\u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven: My Little Underground\u003cbr\u003eChapter Eight: The Living End\u003cbr\u003eChapter Nine: Cut Dead\u003cbr\u003eChapter Ten: Inside Me\u003cbr\u003eChapter Eleven: It's So Hard\u003cbr\u003eChapter Twelve: Something's Wrong\u003cbr\u003eChapter Thirteen: The Hardest Walk\u003cbr\u003eChapter Fourteen: You Trip Me Up\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: Oct 20 2016\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1st\u003cbr\u003ePages: 136\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781628929508\u003cbr\u003eImprint: Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 6 x 5 inches\u003cbr\u003eSeries: 33 1\/3\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55857015456066,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6839\/4562\/files\/9781628929508.jpg?v=1786541077"},{"product_id":"my-bloody-valentines-loveless-33-1-3-series-mike-mcgonigal-softcover-book","title":"My Bloody Valentine's Loveless: 33 1\/3 Series: Mike McGonigal: Softcover Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftcover Book | 136 Pages | 6\" X 5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoveless remains an enigma, 15 years after its release - an album so influential and groundbreaking that its chief creator, Kevin Shields, has been unable or unwilling to release an official follow-up.

When the album debuted on the now-SoundScan-driven charts, Fugazi had never been more in the public eye. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFew knew how difficult it had been to make this popular breakthrough.
