Críticas:
"By far the biggest name in the 33 1/3 roster of writers, Jonathan Lethem is no music critic, but an award-winning fiction writer ... His take on Talking Heads' 1979 album forgoes fiction for first-person criticism, in which Lethem's teenage self acts as a sympathetic protagonist. Even as he plumbs each song on Fear of Music for meaning and significance, he uses the album as a point against which he can measure his own growth as a listener, becoming older and wiser and hungrier for connection with each year and with each listen." --Stephen M. Deusner, Pitchfork
Reseña del editor:
Fear of Music, the third album by Talking Heads, was recorded and released in 1979. It is, like each of their first four albums, a masterpiece. Edgy, paranoid, funky, addictive, rhythmic, repetitive, spooky, and fun - with Brian Eno's production, it's a record that bursts out of the downtown scene that birthed the band, and hints at the directions (positive and negative) they'd take in the near future. Here, Jonathan Lethem takes us back to the late 1970s in New York City and situates Talking Heads as one of the most remarkable and enigmatic American bands. Incorporating theory, fiction, and memoir, and placing Fear of Music alongside Fritz Lang, Edgar Allen Poe, Patti Smith, and David Foster Wallace. Lethem's book is a virtuoso performance by a writer at the peak of his powers, tackling one of his great obsessions.

Descripción Softcover. Condición: New. It's the summer of 1979. A fifteen-year-old boy listens to WNEW on the radio in his bedroom in Brooklyn. A monotone voice (it's the singer's) announces into dead air in between songs "The Talking Heads have a new album, it's called Fear of Music" - and everything spins outward from that one moment.Jonathan Lethem treats Fear of Music (the third album by the Talking Heads, and the first produced by Brian Eno) as a masterpiece - edgy, paranoid, funky, addictive, rhythmic, repetitive, spooky and fun. He scratches obsessively at the album's songs, guitars, rhythms, lyrics, packaging, downtown origins, and legacy, showing how Fear of Music hints at the directions (positive and negative) the band would take in the future. Lethem transports us again to the New York City of another time - tackling one of his great adolescent obsessions and illuminating the ways in which we fall in and out of love with works of art.

All rights reserved.Fear of MusicBy Jonathan Lethem Continuum International Publishing GroupCopyright 2012Jonathan LethemAll right reserved.ISBN: 978-1-4411-2100-4Chapter OneI ZimbraThe sinuous crisis of "I Zimbra" attains maximum velocity before we're prepared, a transmission in Morse code and stroboscopic scratch guitar thrusting us at once into the album's future (dystopian) and the band's future (utopian). In this double action it remains fundamentally impassive, discrete, impersonal - atopian. "I Zimbra" reaches beyond Fear of Music even as it opens a door into the record, makes an overture for it. Inscribing a seductive emergency state in our bodies while refusing to name a subject our minds can grasp, the song inoculates us with a "killed virus" version of Fear of Music that strengthens and sickens simultaneously. "I Zimbra" is untrustworthy. It compels the listener without bothering to persuade him. The formerly human band has mistaken itself for a machine in operation outside space, time, and mind. Or has it graduated and left us behind? No one's saying. "I Zimbra" has its way with us, like sexual desire or fear itself, which enact themselves in a place beyond language.Yet, mocking us, there is language, of a kind.Gadget berry bomber clamored Lazuli loony caloric cad jam Ah! Bum berry glassily gland ride He glassily tufty zebra-Or so it might unfold, in the fool's yearning spell-check of the ear - at least until corrected by the lyric sheet. For anyone demanding sense, or instructions on how to feel about the journey you've undertaken in dropping the phonograph's needle on this particular record, here's a Dada left hook to the jaw.* * *The mind making retrospective sense of the artwork is a liar. Or a lie. Unspooling expertise and arcana, the critic spins a web of knowingness that veils its manufacturer, a spider shy of the light. Now here you come, whistling down the bookstore aisle - "Always liked that record; wonder what he's got to say about it?" - to be enmeshed in the web of expertise. Before you blink, the spider's remade you as hi. Nº de ref. del artículo: BKZN9781441121004
