Christina Aguilera $2.58 Like fellow former Mickey Mouse clubber Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera kicks off her debut album with a teen-lust nugget–in this case, the No. 1 single “Genie in a Bottle”–that the rest of the disc can’t possibly live up to. Aguilera has a strong voice, but patterns herself after iffy role models such as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Aside from “Genie,” most of this music is straight fro… |

Relics $10.45 This compilation and “greatest hits” package has the odd distinction of being released well before the band hit its stadium-filling prime in the mid-to-late ’70s. This album essentially bridges the considerable gap between original leader Syd Barrett’s baroque psychedelic pop-single bent (exemplified here by the band’s first chart hit “See Emily Play” and the cross-dressing mini-epic “Arnold Layne… |

The Cartoons That Time Forgot – The Ub Iwerks Collection, Vol. 1 $5.90 One of the most talented animators of the silent and early sound eras, Ub Iwerks designed the physical appearance of Mickey Mouse. He animated the first Mickey shorts almost single-handedly, doing more than 700 drawings in a single day. Iwerks’s animation was rubbery, weightless, and appealing, but his approach was at odds with the increasing realism Walt Disney sought. In 1930, he left Disne… |

1956 Les Paul Goldtop VOS Electric Guitar $3699 Gibson Les Paul model. Designed by Les Paul produced by Gibson and enthusiastically approved by top guitarists everywhere. Original Gibson advertisement circa 1952Gibsons introduction of the Les Paul model in 1952 laid the template by which all other electric guitars would be measured, but it would still undergo several key modifications before developing into the iconic version widely known today as the Les Paul Standard. One of the most significant changes to the Les Paul model was the addition of the new Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece in 1956, replacing the trapeze and wraparound tailpieces that had adorned earlier versions. The Goldtop models proved instantly popular with a growing legion of electric blues players, most notably B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, and Tiger Haynes, and today is one of the most revered and copied pieces of guitar hardware ever developed.Near-perfect RecreationThe 1956 Les Paul Goldtop from the Gibson Custom Shop is presented with all the historically accurate appointments and legendary tone of the original. No detail is overlooked, starting with the Les Pauls traditional hand-carved maple top and solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body. The headstock is made from Holly head veneer, as opposed to fiber, just like it was in 1956, and the vintage-style tulip tuners are mounted in a straight line, also as they were on the original. The 24 -inch scale length neck is made from one solid piece of mahogany, and attached to the body using a long neck tenonone of the Les Pauls more distinguishing characteristics of the 1950s. The neck is topped by a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard outfitted with acrylic trapezoid inlays matching the size of color of the originals. Also significant are two of Gibsons legendary P-90 singlecoil pickups, providing all the punch and raw power that made the 1956 Les Paul Goldtop the guitar of choice for many early electric blues players. The guitars Antique Gold finish also matches the hue of th |

A Modern Antique $31.75 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER II. THE RESULT OF A DISCUSSION. Oddo Palmieki was a rare type of manhood, tall and slender, with brown eyes and hair that harmonised with his clear olive complexion. He certainly had an original character. Born either too early or too late, as somebody had said, he had not the same ideas as his fellows, nor was he disposed to see things in the light of his surroundings. At the death of his father he found himself involved in debts, but, contrary to the general rule, he made the Spartan resolve to pay them. Nobody understood what H .sacrifice of pride the decision cost him, nor could any one imagine his feelings when the historical palace, in possession of his family for centuries, fell into the hands of his father’s creditors. When every debt had been paid, Palmieri was not left penniless: a large farm in Chianti and a possession in Mugello were rescued from the financial disaster, as well as the beautiful ” Villa degli Olmi,” near San Domenico, on the lovely hill of Fiesole. In this villa he took up his abode with his motherwhen it became necessary to leave the palace in Florence. In that cheerful retreat, lulled by his dreams oi art and study, Palmieri seldom left his seclusion to appear in society. But an echo of the familial’ gossip reached him through his mother, Donna Giulia, who, thinking it too late to change her style of life, had kept up with her old acquaintance and invariably attended her friends’ receptions. If anything disturbed the humour of Donna Giulia, it was thepassion that her son had i’or learning. To spend days and weeks among books and paintings!
