Sinopsis
Starting with the surprising fact that the Clash recorded the punk anthem "London Calling" the same summer Frank Sinatra cut the iconic "New York, New York," this erudite and eye-opening book takes a wide-angle look at the songs and artists, their cities and the author's personal experiences of them.
The simultaneous expression of dystopic modernity and optimistic striving led British music journalist Peter Silverton to weave history with memoir in a far-ranging tale of two cities and two songs that came to exemplify them."Pete Silverton's tale of two cities is a masterpiece that you will read right through to the end without putting down. This multi-faceted, compulsively readable work, complex in both structure and erudite (but never pedantic) thought, ranges across the entire 20th century and before and beyond. I always knew Pete was a great writer. But I didn't know he was this good. London Calling New York New York is a masterpiece." -Chris Salewicz, author of Redemption Song: The Ballad of Joe Strummer

Acerca del autor
Peter Silverton, who died in 2023 at age 70, was a British journalist and author. An early admirer and supporter of the punk scene while a writer on Sounds magazine in the 1970s, Peter graduated from the music press to national newspapers, including the Guardian. Later he became an author and an early years education strategist, helping to develop his family's nursery school business, Ready Steady Go. At Skinners' school in Tunbridge Wells, Peter made friends with John Mellor, and later wrote about his friend's band, the 101ers, for the American magazine Trouser Press, just as John (by then known as Joe Strummer) split to form the Clash. Peter became a freelance writer for Sounds after finishing his psychology degree at Goldsmith's, University of London, in 1974, and was appointed features editor at the paper two years later. He turned freelance in 1978, writing for national daily papers on a range of subjects. He became deputy editor of Time Out's monthly magazine 20/20 in 1988, ghosted Glen Matlock's autobiography I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol (1990), and worked as an editorial consultant at Punch and the Guardian. He became associate editor at the Mail on Sunday Review in the early '90s, helping to launch its Night and Day magazine, before joining the Sunday Express magazine in 1996. (Mal Peachey)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. How's this for a surprising musical coincidence: Frank Sinatra cut his version of "New York, New York" within weeks of the Clash recording "London Calling" in 1979. That nearly simultaneous expression of optimistic striving and dystopic modernity is the jumping-off point for London Calling New York New York, a tale of two cities and two songs that came to exemplify them.Peter Silverton, the veteran English author and journalist who died in 2023, did numerous interviews and in-depth research to dig deep into the history and impact of the two songs on their respective cities. Combining musical scholarship, cultural analysis and personal memoir, London Calling New York New York is rich with wit, fascinating detail and scholarly insight.Although the book is about two popular songs from two different cultures, it also addresses nostalgia, mythmaking, family, crime, war, art, terrorism, politics, film, fidelity and propaganda. From the Great Fire of London to a White Castle in the Bronx, from the Thames to the Hudson, Joe Strummer to George Gershwin, Noel Coward to Jay-Z, Primrose Hill to Yankee Stadium, Maggie Thatcher to Fiorello La Guardia, Silverton marshals connections and coincidences to illuminate the creative process and its enduring cultural impact. As Silverton writes in his author's note, "This is a story about two songs and the cities they came to represent, those songs' writers, the two cities' many other emblematic songs (and their writers) and the two metropolitan cultures: their differences and their similarities. It's also a personal story: mine. It reaches back to my decades-long light friendship with Joe Strummer, my presence at several significant early performances of 'London Calling' and at Joe's West London cremation in December 2002." The Clash recorded "London Calling" the same summer Sinatra cut "New York, New York." That nearly simultaneous expression of dystopic modernity and optimistic striving sparks this tale of two cities and two songs that exemplified them. This item is printed on demand.
