Clubs by their definition offer 'exclusivity': to be a member ofa club you have to meet the selected criteria, whatever that mightbe. The image of a club becomes the key to how its members identifywith it - be it the relaxed wholesome logos of health clubs; or thesleek aerodynamic images found in business-class airline lounges.This issue of AD sets out to examine how architects and interiordesigners effectively use the physical spaces of clubs to enforceimages of exclusivity and collective belonging. Traditionalgentlemen's clubs are looked at alongside a new generation ofsports, media, commercial and night clubs that are springing upacross the world. It also features interviews with Nigel Coates andDavid Adjaye.
Piano Lessons is Noah Adams's delightful and movingchronicle of his fifty-second year--a year already filled withlong, fast workdays and too little spare time--as he answers atlast a lifelong call: to learn to play the piano.

Among the up-tempo triumphs and unexpected setbacks, Noah Adamsinterweaves the rich history and folklore that surround the piano.And along the way, set between the ragtime rhythms andboogie-woogie beats, there are encounters with--and insightsfrom--masters of the keyboard, from Glenn Gould and Leon Fleisher("I was a bit embarrassed," he wr
Before his untimely death in 1982, Lester Bangs was inarguablythe most influential critic of rock and roll. Writing inhyper-intelligent Benzedrine prose that calls to mind Jack Kerouacand Hunter S. Thompson, he eschewed all conventional thinking as hediscussed everything from Black Sabbath being the first trulyCatholic band to Anne Murray’s smoldering sexuality. In Mainlines,Blood Feasts, Bad Taste fellow rock critic John Morthland hascompiled a companion volume to Psychotic Reactions and CarburetorDung, the first, now classic collection of Bangs’s work. Here areexcerpts from an autobiographical piece Bangs wrote as a teenager,travel essays, and, of course, the music pieces, essays, andcriticism covering everything from titans like Miles Davis, LouReed, and the Rolling Stones to esoteric musicians like Brian Enoand Captain Beefheart. Singularly entertaining, this book is anabsolute must for anyone interested in the history of rock.
