Fête de la Musique 2025: 3 essential pounds to vibrate to the rhythm of words and sounds

UNDERGROUND 2 Arnaud Le Gouëfflec and Nicolas Moog, available since May 14 at Glénat.

COSMIC TOURCE & PUNKS DERVICHES

A new Bible of more than 300 pages on the cursed and unknown rockers who have changed the course of the history of the genre!

After underground and live free or die, the new opus devoted to the music of the Moog / Le Gouëfflec duo on the cursed and unknown rockers who have changed the course of gender history.

To put artists on the front of the stage whose popularity does not equal influence, Arnaud Le Gouëfflec and Nicolas Moog draw around thirty portraits of these fabulous creators.

The whole gives a mixture of portraits of known artists (Björk, June Carter, Beck, Ennio Morricone, Rita Mitsouko, Anne Sylvestre, Erik Satie … Kate Bush …), while showing their experimental or a little more obscure facet (The Durutti Column, Diamanda Galas, Catherine Ribeiro … Ahbez, Roky Erickson, Basil Kirchin…)

Note a discography provided in the last pages (there are 336 in this big block), adding an exciting generous playlist of 101 titles accessible on the Internet.

Phil Spector – The descent into hell of a rock genius of Mick Brown (Sonatine)

New edition (biography/music) – translated from English by Nicolas Richard

In bookstores on May 22

Do you like pop, rock and true crime? You will love Phil Spector.

At 18, Phil Spector was at the top of American hit-parades. At 22, he heads his own label and Tom Wolfe sings the praises of the “first teenage world magnate”. In the 1960s, Spector literally invented the sound of his time, and embody better than anyone’s music. L

Mick Brown exclusively collected the Confessions of Phil Spector, this disturbed genius of rock, after a silence of more than twenty-five years. He traces in this biography his incredible existence – Spector worked with the older ones, created the famous “wall of his” and launched many artists, before finishing in prison for murder.

From hundreds of hours of interviews with the main protagonists of this tragic success story, he gives us a good number of unpublished anecdotes and lifts the veil on the cursed destiny of a complex man, torn by his demons.
