ENTERTAIN US: THE RISE OF NIRVANA
Book ID/图书代码： 05793014B67989
English Summary/英文概要： Nirvana are one of the most influential bands in rock history, and even now, nearly 20 years after Kurt Cobain’s death, the reverence in which they are held is undiminished. Books have been written about Nirvana before, but they tend to concentrate on the band’s superstar period and Kurt Cobain’s demise, while skating over the early years. In "Entertain Us", Gillian Gaar redresses the balance by examining in forensic detail the band’s rise to fame, and their first album, "Bleach". Drawing on archive material and interviews with many key people in the story, she traces Nirvana’s formation, its early recordings and many personnel changes, and the arrival of Dave Grohl to complete the familiar three-piece line up. By critiquing every song the band recorded in this period, tracing influences and unpicking complex relationships between band members, associates and record labels, Gaar gets to the heart of a compelling story.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 涅槃乐队是摇滚音乐历史上最有影响力的乐队之一,直到现在，尽管Kurt Cobain已经去世近20年，对他们所作出贡献的尊敬也并没有减少。在早期许多书籍已经描绘了涅槃乐队的过去，但他们都往往关注与这支乐队的巅峰岁月和科特•柯本的死亡。在”心存自我”这本书中，Gillian Gaar通过检查这支乐队的兴起到闻名的法律细节纠正了这种平衡，还有他们的第一张专辑：“净化”。通过获取文档资料和对故事中关键人物的采访，Gillian Gaar查出了涅槃乐队的构成、早期的录音和许多人员的变迁，并且在Dave Grohl的到来后这三份线索被串联在了一起。通过对在这个时期这支乐队所录制的所有歌的评判，查出乐队成员间的影响和鲜为人知的复杂关系，将其与录制的标签结合在一起，Gaar得到了了这个引人入胜的故事的核心。（LNL）
Awards/获奖情况：极好的一本书。考虑到几乎所有的信息都集中于在《nevermind》的发布之后，我十分喜欢那些关于早期乐队的全面深入的信息。
Excellent book. I enjoyed the in depth information about the bands early years considering almost everything else focuses more on the years following the release of Nevermind.
