A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs vol 1: From Savoy Stompers to Clock Rockers

In this series of books, based on the hit podcast A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs, Andrew Hickey analyses the history of rock and roll music, from its origins in swing, Western swing, boogie woogie, and gospel, through to the 1990s, grunge, and Britpop. Looking at five hundred representative songs, he tells the story of the musicians who made those records, the society that produced them, and the music they were making. Volume one looks at fifty songs from the origins of rock and roll, starting in 1938 with Charlie Christian's first recording session, and ending in 1956. Along the way, it looks at Louis Jordan, LaVern Baker, the Ink Spots, Fats Domino, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Jackie Brenston, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, and many more of the progenitors of rock and roll.

Unlocking the Potential of Relational Pedagogy

This book is a useful guide for educators who seek to better engage students in rich, meaningful learning, outlining a clear set of key concepts and principles for relational pedagogy in school classrooms. Emphasising the complex interpersonal encounters that mediate the social, cultural and political dynamics of the school as a shared space, the authors draw attention to the myriad relationships that constitute the social context of the school and the effects these have on teaching, learning and engagement. The relationships between students and teachers directly affect the experience of education, how learning unfolds and overall educational outcomes. Building on scholarly work and school practices, this book argues that relational pedagogy should be at the centre of teaching and learning in schools, in order to drive positive educational change. It further demonstrates the potential of relational pedagogy in the classroom through vignettes and examples from practice to highlight how these concepts can be applied in teaching and school leadership. Presenting a compelling new framework for relational pedagogy, this book will be of interest to teacher educators, postgraduate students of education, policy and school leaders.

Between 1970 and 1984 the Beach Boys, both solo and together, made some of the best albums ever recorded - and some not so good. In this book, Andrew Hickey takes a personal look at this music track by track, analysing every song that Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Al, Bruce, Blondie and Ricky recorded and released during that time period. From psychedelic masterpieces like Surf's Up to the raw rock of Pacific Ocean Blues, in this book you'll learn how they were recorded, why they work the way they do, and which albums to buy if you want to hear a great band at their best. Also available: The Beach Boys On Cd Volume 1: 1961 - 1969

Doctor Who has been a British institution for fifty years, enthralling generations of fans. In this book, Andrew Hickey takes a personal critical look at one story from every one of those fifty years, starting with the very first story, An Unearthly Child, and ending with 2012's The Snowmen, and looking not just at Tv stories, but at the books, audio adventures, films and comics that are also part of the Doctor Who story. In doing so, he tries to find those threads that are common to the series, and discover what it is that has made the series last so long, and what the prospects are for the next fifty years. This book is not authorised by the Bbc.

In 1960, a group of young men in California recorded an instrumental single, Moon Dawg, and started what would become known as surf music. Within a few years, those young men would have been important parts of records by the Beach Boys, Frank Zappa, Canned Heat, the Monkees, and many more. In this book, Andrew Hickey takes a look at the La pop music scene of the 60s through the lens of its greatest records, looking at the interconnections between seemingly disparate bands and performers. Discover the song Davy Jones of the Monkees wrote about Captain Beefheart, or the member of the Mothers of Invention who named Buffalo Springfield and wrote songs for the Beach Boys. California Dreaming: The La Pop Music Scene and the 60s takes you from the Gamblers' surf instrumentals, through sunshine pop by the Mamas and Papas and the Beach Boys, to Little Feat and Randy Newman, and shows how all these different artist influenced and inspired each other, in ways that might surprise you. . .
