Dirty Daddies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 476min
I'm bad enough to need two. Two older men who can teach me a lesson when I misbehave. Two hot bodies to keep me warm in bed at night. Two best friends who can learn to share a filthy-mouthed little brat like me. After all...dirty girls need very dirty daddies. Carrie Wells is nothing but trouble. She's wild and difficult. Not worth anyone's time. Carrie Wells is a beautiful little brat. She's also a vulnerable young adult on my case list. She's half my age and totally off limits. I'm breaking every rule in the book by giving her somewhere to stay when she's out on the streets with nowhere to go. And I'm breaking every rule of friendship by holing her up in my best friend Jack's house while he's away on business. I thought life was difficult enough when I fell for the girl, but it gets a whole lot harder when Jack comes home early and finds a beautiful stranger causing chaos in his house. And a whole lot harder still when he falls for her too. He's the one guy on this planet I'd share my last supper with. I'd share it gladly. I'm just not so sure how I feel about sharing Carrie Wells. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stacey Holmes, Joel Leslie, Smutty McDiarmid.

David Karp: The Mastermind Behind Tumblr , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
What's more popular than Tumblr? This microblogging site has taken the Web by storm since its founding in 2007. Not much can top it when it comes to capturing its fans' imaginations, except for perhaps its creator, David Karp. Karp developed Tumblr after he tried to start a blog and found the process daunting. With most platforms, a blogger faces a huge, empty text box that begs to be filled with words. It was intimidating for a guy who'd never blogged before. Karp had the idea for tumblelogging - creating short blog posts - and built Tumblr as a platform. It lets users easily post both text and images, making Tumblr highly visual and expressive. Creating a different way to blog came naturally to Karp, who never does things by the book. At 15, he dropped out of school. At 17, he moved to Tokyo, holing up with a computer and fine-tuning his tech skills. He returned to the US to build a business - but to do that, he stretched the truth. He used a deep voice on the phone with potential clients so they wouldn't guess how young he was. He didn't tell anyone how little experience he had. Yet people could see he had a good thing going with Tumblr. The company quickly found support and grew into what it is today: a groundbreaking site for connection and creation. And as the mastermind behind it, Karp is sure to remain a figure to watch. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Intuitive.

When Gizmo and Ozzy are sent to the backwoods of West Virginia, the worst Gizmo thinks he’ll face is a couple of rednecks trying to shoot down one of his fleet of drones. He doesn’t expect to run smack dab into a cult masquerading as a summer camp who are determined to separate shifter kids from their animal sides.Caleb Brooks had been one of those kids once. He’d escaped by pretending he was “cured”, and then holing up in the middle of the woods with no connection to technology, shifting freely, but staying close, because he couldn’t abandon the kids still trapped there.The Alphabits know they need to bring the law down on the camp, but they aren’t the only ones coming for them. STAHP is on the loose and where they prowl...mayhem follows.The Alphabits aren’t vigilantes.

Michigan Millionaires Collection Two: Books 4-6 (eBook, ePUB)
Roadtrips and Romance: Liz's life long dream died with one fried engine. So many things could have been different. If she'd bought that Miata she found on craigslist or if her boyfriend hadn't run off to do a habitat for humanity project, she might actually be heading up the California coast. Vegas playboy Adam Winslow knew his dog had a problem with crying women, but he hadn't expected her to rescue Liz Jackson, an old friend from high school. Adam knew that not only could he help Liz fix her problem, but she could help him run from his own. As they hit the road, sparks fly and soon they begin to wonder if one roadtrip could truly change everything or if some things were just better left in the past. Christmas and Commitment: Christmas is Mia's favorite holiday of the year. But not this year. This year, she's stuck at a ski resort where she knows no one and has to explain to every bell boy and waiter that she's there alone because her fiancé is a jerk and she's not actually celebrating her honeymoon and she's taken a vow of celibacy for life. She'd rather be at home with her hot chocolate and fire, but it seemed stupid to let the resort go to waste. She plans on holing up in her suite with a bottle of wine and her suitcase full of books. No trips to the bar where her vow could be at risk. But when the eye candy in the suite next to her shows up at her door half dressed looking for his dog, her vow might have to go out the window. Lakesides and Longing: Blake always knew things with Debbie wouldn't end well and when everything comes crashing down, he heads to his buddy's house on Mackinac Island. But a spontaneous trip deep into the woods of the upper peninsula of Michigan leaves him wondering what on earth he got into. Now he's stuck and he's not sure if he should stay or run far, far away. Paige knows everyone thinks she's crazy. Most of the time she doesn't care. She has her house that is a work of art, the lake, and her studio. She doesn't need people. But when someone breaks into her house in the middle of the night, her overbearing brother leaves his meathead friend to watch over her, and now her huge house feels small. Will Blake and Paige overcome their differences and listen to their hearts, or will they lose the one opportunity they might both have to love again?- Shop: buecher

Nada-Ananda
Simon Thacker and The Nava Rasa Ensemble is a nine piece virtuoso ensemble innovating on the meeting of Asian and Western cultures. Nada Ananda features the world première recordings of major guitar led works by Shirish Korde, an Indian composer who has forged a compelling and distinctive voice in the West with his native music as a basis, and Nigel Osborne, a great Western composer profoundly influenced by Indian music, for an all star nine piece instrumental ensemble made up of leading performers from both cultures. Acclaimed as 'a mesmerising melding of old and new, Indian and Western' (The Classical Review) and 'a bold and highly successful project that fuses imaginative improvisation and virtuosity within a compelling sequence' (The List), The Nava Rasa Ensemble's Nada-Ananda album release has been acclaimed across the world and features nine musicians of the highest calibre representing three continents: Simon Thacker on guitar, Carnatic (South Indian) violinist Jyotsna Srikanth, Hindustani (North Indian) tabla master Sarvar Sabri, Scotland's leading string quartet the Edinburgh Quartet, Brazilian bass dynamo Mario Caribé and renowned multi-percussionist Iain Sandilands. Shirish's Nada Ananda ['the joy of sound'] concerto for guitar and chamber ensemble, is in three movements. The first movement is in the style of a North Indian Alap and the guitar writing the explores the expressive possibilities and colours of the instrument, combining the ornamentations and figurations of the sitar with the timbre of the classical guitar. The first and the second movement are based on the raga Lalit which, according to Indian music theory, is generally played at daybreak. The third movement, Joy, sees extended cadenzas for the guitar, Indian violin and tabla lead to an explosive climax for the whole ensemble. Nigel's The Birth of Naciketas for guitar concertante is based on an episode in the Upanishads where Naciketa's mother dies in childbirth and his father makes a bargain with Death to save his son's life. The work is based on the ten thaats, or scale patterns, which are considered by many to have been the forerunners of the raags of Indian classical music. The piece's ten sections correspond to the tenthaats in a 24-hour cycle related to the times of day associated with the scale patterns. These ten sections fall into five main movements. The Birth of Naciketas continues Nigel's search for an Indian classical modernism. What the critics said: Classical Music Sentinel 'The musicianship on this recording is quite remarkable. Guitarist Simon Thacker transcends the instrument and persuades it to produce music loaded with subtle nuances and character... A veritable melting pot of styles and influences that have truly merged into one.' The List 'Shirish Korde's Nada-Ananda concerto allows classical guitarist Simon Thacker ...to show just how invigorating music can be when it draws it's sensibilities from a host of styles, releasing it from the inhibitions of genre pigeon-holing.' Music Web International 'I was deeply impressed by this disc - not just by the undeniably high standard of musicianship throughout, but also by the fascinating, accessible and interesting compositions, which demonstrate that successful collaboration between Eastern and Western music is, indeed, possible.' The Classical Review 'What particularly impresses is the sheer cohesion of the playing, with Thacker proving an acutely stylish and sensitive fulcrum for an often mesmerising melding of old and new, Indian and Western.' Classical Music Magazine 'Here's an east-west inversion: gentle spirituality from Nigel Osborne's work for 'guitar concertante', and jazz with real swing in Shirish Korde's concerto, where the virtuosity of Thacker is matched by sizzling sounds from Jyotsna Srikanth's Indian violin and Sarvar Sabri's tabla playing'. The Guardian 'The third movement, in particular, is an exuberant virtuoso display of rhythmic complexity. Nada Ananda means joy of sound, an idea Korde captured in his music.' Hi-arts 'The extraordinary range of cultural influences, musical forms and emotional states in the selected works were beautifully fluid and seamlessly communicated by Thacker and his fellow musicians.' Gendai Guitar Japan 'An ambitious project which has proven very successful because of the musicianship and devotion of Simon Thacker....Just looking at all these musicians on stage with their instruments one experienced a heightened sense of anticipation, which was fulfilled in performance.' The Scotsman 'Take one eclectically minded classical guitarist from East Lothian, grant him charge of an ensemble comprising two Indian virtuosi on violin and tabla drums, one of Scotland's leading string quartets, a Scottish-based Brazilian jazz bassist and a cross-genre percussionist and... The result is music of sinuous beauty.' Musical Pointers 'This is captivating and highly recommended to our readers. Simon Thacker is a fine guitarist who has been devoting himself to exploring meetings of Indian and Western cultures with an outstanding intercultural ensemble.' Inside World Music 'Simon Thacker, is a stunning, Scottish performer of Western, European, and South Asian musical styles.....The mix of classical and Indian music is brilliant, moving, and creative.' Sunday Herald 'Simon Thacker is a musician who has always seen his instrument as international and his classical training as the portal to expressing a whole world of music. His Camerata Ritmata group explores jazz, Spanish and Brazilian influences, among others, and with the Nava Rasa Ensemble - featuring string quartet alongside Indian masters, bass and percussion - he goes right to the heart of Indian music' Songlines Magazine 'The virtuosity of the musicians on display here is not in question, and their ability to play as an ensemble is most impressive.'- Shop: odax

Blue Monkey
American artist Johnny O. was born on the pioneering West Coast but spent much of his formative years in the traditional South. An amalgam of musical influences from his upbringing forged the artist's creative expression realized in his bold first album, Blue Monkey. Having no patience for the phony image-making and constipated genre pigeon-holing rampant in today's music industry, Johnny O. set his own course toward an unfettered horizon. The result is a refreshing mix of gritty Americana, roots rock 'n roll and smokey blues wrapped in a "Texas sound" that conjures bitter chaparral and barbed lechuguilla. Yet despite it's jaundiced indictment of humanity's flaws, the lyrics of Johhny O.'s Blue Monkey also offer respites of salvation. The skeletons in the album's sardonic opening track "Everybody's Closet"can't suppress the hope and pursuit of forgiveness expressed in the haunting number "For All," which closes the album: But in my chest there's a heart still beating And, it's helped my spirit through And I know it don't fix nothing, but I loved you No glossy pop here. From the very start, Johnny O. was determined to avoid the cookie-cutter approach that has choked the soul out of modern music production. Most of the tracks were recorded without a click track. A free approach to production graces the album throughout with the unexpected, where acoustic guitars and Latin American percussion instruments blend with orchestral string sections and vintage Stratocaster. But in the end, all these diverse and free-ranging elements unite in a common theme: an exploration of the heart and soul of the human condition, scatter-shot with conflicted darkness and light. This is Blue Monkey.- Shop: odax
