On The Road: The Original Scroll

2 recommendations

"Jack Kerouac defined the beat generation. His stream-of-consiousness musings about travelling and his experiances have enlightened, amused and inspired generations of people since its publishing in 1957. When Kerouac first wrote the piece it was, appropriately, one long paragraph on taped-together into a 120-foot scroll. Now, you can experience this famous fit of spontaneity in its most spontaneou..."

The New Tea Book: A Guide to Black, Green, Herbal and Chai Teas $16.95 : Chronicle Books

1 recommendation

"There’s a world of difference between the tea you brew at work to power through an assignment and the stuff you make at home, using your favorite infuser, mug, fixings, and pairing with a pastry. This book provides a healthy serving of factual knowledge about the beverage – from how it’s cultivated and fermented to caffeine content and antioxidant properties – but it’s equally invested in more abs..."

The Journey Begins at the End of the Road

The Kinks - One for the Road [Audio CD]

1 recommendation

"The Kinks' scattershot U.S. career never fully flourished like that of their British Invasion peers. The most quintessentially British of British bands -- especially in the increasingly nostalgic songs of vocalist/rhythm guitarist Ray Davies -- the Kinks enjoyed a spike in popularity in America in the late '70s and early '80s. The gold-selling 1980 double-live album One for the Road is a fascinati..."

John Fogerty - The Long Road Home

1 recommendation

"I saw John Fogerty (the voice of Creedence Clearwater Revival) in concert just a few years ago. The venue was spectacularly atrocious, but John saved the day and kept cranking out music for more than three hours. This album includes many of the songs from his past, but ones that I am just beginning to discover. He is a great talent, on and off the stage."

The Road Mix

1 recommendation

"The Road Mix is a collection of music featured on the CW's One Tree Hill, which is a show known for its great soundtrack. My favorites here are "Good Vibrations" from Gym Class Heroes and "Naive" by The Kooks."

The Beatles - Abbey Road [Audio CD]

1 recommendation

"The last Beatles album to be recorded (although Let It Be was the last to be released), Abbey Road was a fitting swan song for the group, echoing some of the faux-conceptual forms of Sgt. Pepper, but featuring stronger compositions and more rock-oriented ensemble work. The group was still pushing forward in all facets of its art, whether devising some of the greatest harmonies to be heard on any r..."

Gettin' Gone ~ MV/EE with The Golden Road

1 recommendation

"I'm not sure who I can blame for my taste for American twang rock--Kim Gordon, Dead Meadow? Anyway I like the MV/EE with The Golden Road sound, it's the missing ling between the Beverly Hillbillies and Mazy Star's Black Rebel Motorcycle Club"

The Last Lecture (Book)

6 recommendations

"The Last Lecture provides some very inspirational reading. Carnegie Melon professor Randy Pausch had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and was given very little remaining time to live. This is his "last lecture" that he gave to students, faculty, and family in which he discussed values, opportunity, and living life to the fullest. The video footage of the lecture became an online viral hit."

On the Road: The Original Scroll (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) by Jack Kerouac

1 recommendation

"Good old, Jack. King of the Beat(s). Little tale for you, as a sophomore, I was absolutely infatuated with the Beat Movement (and other movements we learned about). Though my Poetry II class was far from easy, there were moments I stayed awake long enough to suck up the knowledge our professor so profusely tried to provide us. Kerouac is definitely one worth reading and dissecting. I can't wai..."
