Madonna
In conjunction with this summer's most talked about concert, Madonna's highly anticipated "Sticky and Sweet" Tour, powerHouse Books will release Madonna Confessions, the official book of quintessential images taken by über-manager Guy Oseary during the course of over 50 performances around the world during the Material Girl's sold out 2006 Confessions Tour.
With over 250 never-before-seen images, the book showcases various provocative themes from that show including an iconographic equestrian opening to an urban Bedouin segment and on to glam punk and disco fever.
The photographs celebrate what the New York Times called "the sheer spectacularity of her physical form" along with show stopping highlights and groundbreaking staging. Oseary, who is also Madonna's manager and has worked with her for the past twenty years, traveled with the artist and was given unprecedented access to each performance. As a result, the photographs in Madonna Confessions capture the essence, sheer energy, and excitement that came alive onstage every night. The photographs were each lovingly handpicked by Oseary and Madonna and are interspersed with quotes from Madonna. Long considered one of the most exciting live performers of our era, Madonna Confessions is a visual delight that highlights the multi-Grammy winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's astounding career.
“powerHouse is delighted to collaborate with one of the world's greatest live performers; Guy Oseary's exclusive access to each night's Confessions show allowed him the opportunity to capture unparalleled iconic moments in live performance photography. The intimacy and the sweep of the work put you front row center of an incredible experience.”
—Daniel Power, CEO of powerHouse Books.

Madonna
Madonna has long been accepted as a pop culture icon, but this text postulates a greater cultural importance by analyzing her as a postmodern myth. This work examines how Madonna methodically discovered and constructed herself (often rewriting her past), the nature and extent of her ambition and the means she used to reach her goals. It also details the way in which she organized her own cult (borrowing from the gay community), devised her artistic output, and cunningly targeted different audiences. It also studies the fundamental contradiction—virgin or vamp? saint or prostitute?—that fuels Madonna’s career and describes how Madonna reflects today’s society, its contradictions and its attitudes toward sexuality and religion.

When video killed the radio star, Sharon Oreck was calling the shots.
Video Slut takes an irreverent look behind the scenes of the music-video industry during its eighties heyday. Oreck, one of the top producers of all time, bluffed her way into the business with no experience whatsoever and went on to produce more than six hundred video shoots with Madonna, Sting, Mick Jagger, Prince, and several members of the increasingly unstable Jackson family—not to mention a cadre of delinquent caterers, deranged interns, self-absorbed record executives, and malfeasant animal trainers. Oreck also shares the at turns hilarious, biting, and poignant story of her origins as a single teen mother, disowned by her middle-class parents, and of her journey from welfare to kung fu movie sets to film school. She approaches her own delinquency and that of the superstars she encountered with humor and candor. The result is an acerbic but sympathetic account of the outrageous effects of fame, power, and money on people in the entertainment business. No one is spared, especially herself.- Rank: #1125368 in Books

Following the critical success of Madonna: Confessions, the powerHouse team, Madonna, and Guy Oseary return with a knockout punch: Madonna: Sticky & Sweet, a dynamic look at Madonna's celebrated Sticky & Sweet Tour, which broke all previous records and became the number-one highest grossing tour of any solo artist ever--with Madonna playing before 2,350,282 fans and selling over 280 million dollars' worth of tickets. The tour has been extended through the summer of 2009 and will have passed the mark of 400 million dollars in ticket sales by the time it's complete.
In over 500 full-color photographs taken on, and backstage, during the course of this historic 58-show tour, Oseary documents the four acts of the rock-driven, pop journey that is the Sticky & Sweet show--Pimp: A mashed-up homage to 1920s deco and modern-day gangsta pimp, with Madonna making a grand entrance dressed in Givenchy; Old School: Madonna tips her hat to her early-80s, downtown, New York City dance roots, with flashes of Keith Haring and the dance culture vibe of the time, including the birth of Hip Hop; Gypsy: A VIP trip to La Isla Bonita, infused with the spirit of Romanian folk music and dance--a tour de force; and Rave: Far-eastern influences emerge all sparkly and sporty.

Hard Candy may not have been Madonna's biggest hit but it, like so many of her albums, was supported by a major international tour. Madonna dubbed it Sticky & Sweet -- a none-too-subtle allusion to Hard Candy's title -- which is also the name of this 2010 DVD/CD set capturing her stop at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires in 2008. Since so much of the tour depended on overblown spectacle, Sticky & Sweet Tour is better experienced as a video instead of a CD -- particularly because the audio portion is half the length of the video, and the songs included here tend to be medleys, not individual songs. ~ Stephen Thomas ErlewineThursday, February 21, 2013

Madonna
Loretta Young (1913-us.html00) was an Academy Award-winning actress known for devout Catholicism and her performances in The Farmer's Daughter, The Bishop's Wife, and Come to the Stable, and for her long-running and tremendously popular television series. But that was not the whole story.
Hollywood Madonna explores the full saga of Loretta Young's professional and personal life. She made her film debut at age four, became a star at fifteen, and many awards and accolades later, made her final television movie at age seventy-six. This biography withholds none of the details of her affair with Clark Gable and the daughter that powerful love produced. Bernard F. Dick places Young's affair in the proper context of the time and the choices available to women in 1935, especially a noted Catholic like Young, whose career would have been in ruins if the public knew of her tryst. With the birth of a daughter, who would have been branded a love child, Loretta Young reached the crossroads of disclosure and deception, choosing the latter path. That choice resulted in an illustrious career for her and a tortured childhood for her daughter.

LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCHWILL & THE KILL11" x 17"CONCERT POSTERCAVE CLUBAUSTIN TEXAS1987POSTER ARTIST: FRANK KOZIKCONDITION: EXCELLENT - 9 OF 10TOP CONDITIONFIRST ONLY ORIGINALRARE!Biographyby Bill CasselFormed in 1981, the Lords of the New Church had a formidable intercontinental punk rock pedigree. Singer Stiv Bators and guitarist Brian James were founding members of Cleveland's Dead Boys and London's the Damned, respectively, both successful and influential punk pioneers. (Note: Much like Keith Richard(s), Stiv spelled his surname both with and without a terminal "s" at various points in his career. Throughout his time with the Lords, however, he was billed as Bators.) Bassist Dave Tregunna and drummer Nick Turner were veterans of Sham 69 and the Barracudas, which were less seminal but still well-known. But while the Lords' music had elements of punk, it was more melodic, better-produced, and played with a higher degree of professionalism. This alienated some of the hardcore punk audience, but brought the Lords a much wider and more diverse fan base.The genesis of the Lords was in 1980 when Bators and James, having split from their previous bands, renewed an aqcuaintance that began when the Dead Boys opened for the Damned on CBGB dates and an English tour. The two experimented for a time with different rhythm sections, rehearsing briefly with ex-Generation X bassist Tony James and ex-Clash drummer Terry Chimes (how's that for a punk rock supergroup?). A lineup of Bators, James, Tregunna, and Damned drummer Rat Scabies played a single 1980 gig as the "Dead Damned Sham Band." But by the time the Lords' self-titled debut album appeared in 1982, Turner had replaced Scabies to form the lineup that would remain fixed throughout the band's most productive years.Though the album was well-received, the Lords became more notorious for their live shows, or more specifically for Bators's crazed abandon as a performer. A devotee of Iggy Pop, Bators had in his Dead Boys days developed a reputation for being unafraid to risk his life in pursuit of rock & roll glory. He suffered innumerable on-stage injuries during his career, the most famous being the time he reportedly nearly hung himself during a Lords show. As the story goes, a favorite stunt of Bators' where he looped the mic cord around his neck went awry, resulting in his being clinically dead for several minutes. Nonetheless, Bators survived to record two more successful albums with the Lords, 1983's Is Nothing Sacred? and 1984's The Method to Our Madness. After this, though, the Lords appeared to lose their creative impetus.They continued to record sporadically including an amusing single where they violated Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and two excellent new tracks for the best-of Killer Lords, but by 1985, the Lords had slowly begun to disintegrate. Tregunna left, was replaced for a time by Grant Fleming, and then returned. A second guitarist, Alistair Simmons, was added and then sacked. Turner quit and was replaced by Danny Fury. After 1988, Bators back injury led James to advertise for a replacement singer -- a temporary one, he claimed -- the Lords split acrimoniously, but not before Bators played the encore of his last show wearing a T-shirt that bore an enlargement of James' newspaper ad. Possibilities of any future Lords reunions were quashed when Bators died in 1990 of injuries sustained when he was struck by a car in the streets of Paris. . Frank Kozik was born in Spain and by 1981 he had found his way to Austin. Much of his earliest work was done with the Art Maggots. In 1987 Kozik began designing posters for the Cave Club, which was eventually relocated by owner Brad First to 6th Street as Club Cairo, which begat in turn the Cannibal Club. Kozik's raw early style, often calculatedly offensive, became popular with bands such as Austin's Butthole Surfers. A Poison 13 concert was cancelled by University of Texas officials, reportedly in response to Christian students complaints about the poster Kozik had designed for the show - an unflattering rendering of Baby Jesus roasting on a "Char-Boy" barbeque grill. Though Kozik was very active locally during the late Eighties, he has been working primarily on West Coast projects lately, often in conjunction with California's L'Imagerie. Under its auspices he now has his own shop for screen printing, a process he was exposed to while working at Bee-Bop Printing in 1987. - jagmo.comBiographyby Jason Ankeny Much as the poster art of Stanley Mouse, Rick Griffin and Wes Wilson remains synonymous with the psychedelic culture of the 1960s, so too do the designs of Frank Kozik embody the look and attitude of the grunge era; defiantly garish and proudly unsettling, his work springs forth from the collective unconscious of a generation, his subversive appropriation of universal icons and images translating into often brilliant graphics mirroring the power and visceral intensity of the music they promote. Born in 1962 and raised primarily in Spain, Kozik settled in the US in 1976, and after toiling in a series of dead-end jobs along the west coast he relocated to Austin, Texas in 1981. There he began teaching himself graphic design, influenced largely by the bold imagery of Russian military poster art as well as classic cheesecake pin-ups. A fixture at area club dates, Kozik eventually began assembling posters promoting live appearances by a friend's band; when local promoters realized shows promoted by Kozik designs were better-attended than those without, he was off and running. From 1986 onward, he produced about a poster a week, with early commissions for Austin bands like the Butthole Surfers and Scratch Acid winning underground acclaim; the turning point, however, was a piece for the industrial duo Chris and Cosey -- prominently featuring a photograph of a World War II victim, the poster crystallized both Kozik's irreverent attitude and his fondness for appropriating key cultural touchstones, the cumulative effect launching him among the most distinctive practitioners of an artform ripe for resurrection. As Kozik's eye-popping day-glo posters continued to grow in fame during the late 1980s, so did the notoriety of his take-no-prisoners approach -- his work became infamous for both embracing and destroying pop culture icons, with notable images including Fred Flinstone in the junkie regalia of Sid Vicious, a dying Lee Harvey Oswald recast as a punk shouter, and the Archies on a bender. Nuns, Hitler, Charles Manson -- none were too provocative for his pen, with recurring motifs including crucifixions, bondage and the ultimate Kozik image, the Devil Girl, the embodiment of his attraction to and fear of women. With the rise of grunge during the early 1990s, his designs were seemingly everywhere, and as bands like the Melvins, Mudhoney and Nirvana emerged from Seattle, Kozik posters heralded their live appearances across the country. As the revival of rock concert art made its way into the mainstream media, Kozik was widely hailed as the leader of a new generation of craftsmen, with features on his life and work published in outlets including Newsweek, Rolling Stone and Details. In 1992, he was honored with his first solo exhibit at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, with shows following in New York City, Chicago and San Francisco (his home from mid-1994 onward) as well as Sydney, Australia, Zurich, Switzerland and Tokyo, Japan. A collection of Kozik's work was additionally prepared for exhibition at the opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and a Nine Inch Nails design was included in the Smithsonian Art book Posters American Style. In 1995, Last Gasp Publications also issued Man's Ruin: The Posters and Art of Frank Kozik, a collection of his most popular and infamous work. By the mid-1990s, Kozik had also begun expanding into commercial design, with work commissioned by Entertainment Weekly, Nike, BASF and Lincoln Center. Most importantly, in 1995 he formed Man's Ruin, a record label initially begun as a singles-only enterprise. Inaugurated with a ten-inch disc from the Sonic Boom side project Experimental Audio Research, Man's Ruin releases were typically limited-run pressings lavishly packaged in sleeves created in Kozik's trademark style, the company's formation a reflection of the artist's continuing interest in underground music as well as his affection for the enduring vinyl format. In time Man's Ruin also began issuing CD editions of its releases, among them projects from acts including Steel Pole Bathtub, the Dwarves and Kyuss.

Madonna
Madonna up close, by the brother who knows her better than anyone. Christopher Ciccone's extraordinary memoir is based on his forty-seven years of growing up with, working with, and understanding the most famous woman of our time, who has intrigued, scandalized, and entertained millions for half a century. Through most of the iconic star's kaleidoscopic career, Christopher played an important role in her life: as her backup dancer, her personal assistant, her dresser, her decorator, her art director, her tour director. If you think you know everything there is to know about Madonna, you are wrong. Only Christopher can tell the full scale, riveting untold story behind Madonna's carefully constructed mythology, and the real woman behind the glittering façade. From their shared Michigan childhood, which Madonna transcended, then whisked Christopher to Manhattan with her in the early eighties, where he slept on her roach-infested floor and danced with her in clubs all over town -- Christopher was with her every step of the way, experiencing her first hand in all her incarnations. The spoiled daddy's girl, the punk drummer, the raunchy Boy Toy, Material Girl, Mrs. Sean Penn, Warren Beatty's glamorous Hollywood paramour, loving mother, Mrs. Guy Ritchie, English grande dame -- Christopher witnessed and understood all of them, as his own life was inexorably entwined with that of his chameleon sister. He tangled with a cast of characters from artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, to Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, Demi Moore, and, of course, Guy Ritchie, whose advent in Madonna's life splintered the loving relationship Christopher once had with her. The mirror image of his legendary sister, with his acid Ciccone tongue, Christopher pulls no punches as he tells his astonishing story. Life with My Sister Madonna is the juicy, can't-put-it-down story you've always wanted to hear, as told by Madonna's younger brother.
