Belle & Sebastian - A Bit Of Previous (LP)"A Bit of Previous" ist das zehnte Studioalbum von Belle and Sebastian und ihr erstes richtiges Album seit sieben Jahren. Das mag jeden berraschen, der die jngsten Aktivitten der siebenkpfigen Band aus Glasgow verfolgt: es gab eine Trilogie von EPs; ein Soundtrack fr das Regiedebt von Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners); The Boaty Weekender (ein viertgiges Musikfestival mit 3000 Zuschauern auf einem Kreuzfahrtschiff im Mittelmeer), ein Live Album und 2020

"A Bit of Previous" ist das zehnte Studioalbum von Belle and Sebastian und ihr erstes richtiges Album seit sieben Jahren. Das mag jeden überraschen, der die jüngsten Aktivitäten der siebenköpfigen Band aus Glasgow verfolgt: es gab eine Trilogie von EPs; ein Soundtrack für das Regiedebüt von Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners); The Boaty Weekender (ein viertägiges Musikfestival mit 3000 Zuschauern auf einem Kreuzfahrtschiff im Mittelmeer), ein Live-Album und 2020 ein gemeinsames Projekt mit ihren Fans namens "Protecting The Hive". "A Bit Of Previous" ist ein klassisches Belle and Sebastian Album mit Songs und Melodien, die einem nicht mehr aus dem Kopf gehen und wunderbaren Lyrics. Es wurde von der Band selbst produziert und aufgenommen unter Mithilfe von Brian McNeil, Matt Wiggins, Kevin Burleigh und Shawn Everett. In mancherlei Hinsicht ist das Album eine Art Homecoming: Es ist das erst, das die Band seit 20 Jahren in ihrer Heimatstadt Glasgow aufgenommen hat (das letzte war 2000 "Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant"). Was als pandemische Notwendigkeit begann (ursprünglich plante man Aufnahmen in Kalifornien), wurde für die Band eine Rückkehr zu ihren Anfängen. So wurde der Proberaum zu einem behelfsmäßigen Studio ausgebaut und man traf einige kreative Entscheidungen bei der Inneneinrichtung, um ihn pandemisch sicher zu halten. Auf "A Bit of Previous" setzen sich Belle and Sebastian mit dem Älterwerden auseinandersetzen und klingen dabei so frisch wie lange nicht mehr. Die verspielten und treibenden Arrangements zeigen einen Band in Höchstform und erinnern uns einmal mehr daran, warum man Belle and Sebastian so tief ins Herz geschlossen hat. Natürlich gibt es auch hier wieder diese klein-großen Pop-Momente. "Unnecessary Drama", "Talk To Me Talk To Me" und "Reclaim the Night" sind Hits, zu denen man auf Konzerten der Band zukünftig tanzen wird. Songs wie "Do it for your Country" sowie "Sea of Sorrow" erinnern hingegen an die "The Boy with Arab Strap"-Phase der Schotten.

A must read for Greek history!
Format: Hardcover
A lot details about Thucydides himself and the history around himself with great insight into all the wars including the long Pelopnnesian war. A must read for history lovers. R.W. writes so that a "lay person" can understand all the intricate details of the greater Greek conflicts, and politics during this time in history.

It is easy to read and understand the English prose. Highly recommended.
Format: Hardcover
I am not conversant with Ancient Greek, but I decided to read this book. The prose is easy to read and understand. It uses the type of English phrasing that we would use in ordinary conversation. I found this difficult book easy to read and I value that. I don't know whether it is better or worse than any other translation of Thucydides, but I enjoyed it. Thucydides emerges as an analytical historian with a strong moral point of view and trenchant criticisms of the Athenians and their leadership. This book continues the modern trend of making classical texts easier to read by using plain English. It is much appreciated.

Reading is KEY to success!!! We love this book and many others similar to it!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
LOVE IT!!! We are readers in my house. Reading is KEY to success!!! I posted some pictures of sample pages. I like to see sample pages before ordering a book. I will go to Google and search. Wish Amazon/the sellers would post sample pages of the books on here to make it eaiser!! My son loves these kid friendly creepy stories.. we have ordered approximately 90 books to read over the summer, several are kid friendly scary stories, they're hard to find, though... We also purchased a bunch of the Geographic kids books to learn about animals, plants, solar system and volcanoes.... I can't wait to dig into them. Reading is key to success and hopefully my two will learn a good bit of info over the summer.

New Favorite!
Format: Paperback
My 1st grader loved this one! We really enjoyed the way the story unfolds to point out that there is really nothing "normal" about anyone. We're all different, but we also have similarities, and everyone can be friends. It's also an encouraging story for anyone who might be moving to a new city and going to a new school.
