Story behind this is that the monitors were fucking up throughout the show pretty badly, as was the mixing board, and Kurt smashed the mixing board. Said bouncer was friend of the person who owned the gear, and roughed Kurt up a couple of times before this.
This is purely from memory though, so might be somewhat inaccurate. I believe I read it in Come as you Are

Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers, and EMO https://www.amazon.com/dp/0312308639/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_b1bqDb7MDE8FN
As a TL:DR, Emo has gone through several waves of popularity and genre fusions, so it gets confusing.
To summarize the last 30 years, Emo started as a reaction to political hardcore bands in the 80s (Rites of Spring), then it sort of mutated into alt/indie rock (Sunny Day Real Estate, The Promise Ring, Jawbreaker) in the 90s.
The reason people have the reaction to Emo they have now is because of its next mutation was less a musical style and more of a lifestyle/subculture that blew up in the early to mid-aughts. This was Emo's largest mutation, which is why it's hard to define.
Bands like Dashboard Confessional led the way, while bands like Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, and (whether they agree/like it or not) Thursday pushed it along for bands like My Chemical Romance to elevate it to its height.
Today, we're seeing a reaction to that mid-aughts Emo subculture. Beginning in about 2009/10, bands like Fireworks and The World is a Beautiful Place... have taken us sort of full circle. Now Emo can be defined by twinkly or clean guitars (Tiny Moving Parts), or even more of a grunge-y sound (Citizen, Movements, Moose Blood). For a full experience of what Emo is in 2019, listen to Sunsleeper; they are an amalgam of Citizen, Movements, and Brand New.
For me Emo is back in that sweet spot, like how it was in the late 90s, early aughts before it blew up. I don't think it's going to blow up that way again, but for now it's nice to have consistently good music coming out from the scene while everyone else ignores it.
I don't think you asked for a history lesson, but get me started on Emo and I can't shut up (I really just wanted to post the link to the book and look where it took me, haha).
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk, or whatever the kids say these days.
The Autobiography of Gucci Mane
$16 hardcover
That was no rumor it was very much a fact of the case. A lot of people listened to this guy for some reason. One dude who was there with his family just pushed him out of the way and went out that door. IIRC he later suffered from survivors guilt over not getting more people out via that exit.
https://www.amazon.com/Killer-Show-Nightclub-Americas-Deadliest/dp/1611688531
This book is pretty good since it was written by the lawyer who represented the victims and laid out all of the established facts of the case. The last 50 or so pages gets a little "legalese" but its still a great read just compiling all of the things that went wrong and their origin stories.
For example the brothers who owned the club wanted to play nice with an abutting neighbor who was very much against the club and the nose it generated. He had called in numerous noise complaints over the year to the West Warwick PD. The previous owners had let the brothers know of the problem during the sale.
The solution the owners came up? Well this neighbor happened to be employed by a foam mfg. company so they bought a bunch of low grade foam soundproofing from his company (neighbor I believe got a commission from the sale). They might as well just have filled the walls with full gas tanks since it had the same effect when the pyro hit in the foam.
German user checking in - it's 10,17€ for the hardcover here.
Edit: thats the culprit
Story goes Lennon's photographer smuggled it all back to England after Monterey Pop 1967 in his camera lenses and the Owsley goodness fueled the making of the Magical Mystery Tour. Bear: The Life and Times of Augustus Owsley Stanley III is brimming with all these fun Bear facts. I am passively listening to it and just got past the Egypt trip. Wild times.
He used to go out in the woods and scream at the top of his lungs to get his vocal chords used to it. His grandfather's advice IIRC Source
He was a real dick to Frusciante at times. If you haven't read it I strongly suggest checking out this if you're a fan. It's awesome.
If you want to know more, Andy Greenwald wrote a decent history book about the development of emo music.
Nothing Feels Good
Exactly!! You should read the John Lennon Letters, it shows a lot of "other" John, a broken, hopeless romantic who has a lot on his mind.

While the accompanying novel wasn't the best literature I've ever read, it was interesting to help bring the story in together.

And Headlong Flight is just awesome. Not sure what's not to get there. :)
Depends on what sort of rep you're in to (into?). I read a lot of popular music scholarship. These are books that I have either read or am going to read, in no particular order:
Brad Osborn - Everything in its Right Place: Analyzing Radiohead
Robert Walser - Running with the Devil:Power, Gender, and Madness in Heavy Metal Music
Walter Everett - The Foundations of Rock
Walter Everett - The Beatles as Musicians: The Quarry Men through Rubber Soul, Revolver through the Anthology
† Understanding Rock: Essays in Musical Analysis, ed. John Covach and Graeme Boone
Richard Middleton - Studying Popular Music
Allan Moore - Song Means:Analysing and Interpreting Recorded Popular Song
†Analyzing Popular Music, ed. Allan Moore
† = A bunch of essays crammed into a book. These are nice because you can read a 20-50 page study on a topic and move on.
I'll recommend these as more general reading, geared toward classical music but useful in other styles as well:
William Caplin - Classical Form: A Theory of Formal Functions for the Instrumental Music of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven (Every researcher in the field knows or should know this one. I would also recommend Hepokoski and Darcy - Elements of Sonata Theory, which is the other big form book, but it is a veritable tome and hardly light reading. Not that much of what I've recommended is very light.)
Janet Schmalfeldt - In the Process of Becoming:Analytic and Philosophical Perspectives on Form in Early Nineteenth-Century Music (I haven't read this yet, but it's in the same universe of form studies as the above.)
Kofi Agawu - Music as Discourse: Semiotic Adventures in Romantic Music (Agawu has written a lot on various topics and should be on your radar.)
Alfred Mann - The Study of Fugue (Broken up into two parts: part 1 is a history of fugue, part 2 is about fugal technique.)
I'll point you toward this one since it is totally awesome and helped me to understand medieval liturgical music theory and culture (though you might find yourself lost if you are not already familiar with some of the concepts):
Anna Maria Busse Berger - Medieval Music and the Art of Memory
You might also consider ordering a hard copy of some journal issues, as these can be quite compact and give you a lot of breadth.
Journal of Music Theory (JMT)
Music Theory Spectrum (MTS)
Not sure, but every time I see a book there that I want, it's cheaper on Amazon. link
I personally recommend getting your ass to the library or bookstore and getting two very interesting books:
Running With the Devil: Power, Gender and Madness in Heavy Metal Music by Robert Walser
Heavy Metal: The Music and its Culture by Deena Weinstein
Both are interesting reads and Walser's in particular has a section which memorably compares a particular guitar solo to a Vivaldi violin cadenza... very interesting.
I'm not really much of a death metal person so I can't recommend you anything in the way of bands but the other people who commented sound like they know their shit. :)
>All the VPRO documentaries.
This was gonna be my answer. Also, OP, if you don't mind reading, the Oral/Visual History is fantastic and features commentary from almost every member that's ever been in this revolving door of a band. Beautifully constructed.
If you're really starting from scratch, try to find the Behind The Music somewhere online. It's outdated (like almost 20 years old) and super condensed but it'll give you the basics.

Nikki Sixx - Heroin Diaries -- Its not Shakespeare but it comes from the diaries of a rock star clearly fucking up. I love tales of excess and this has it all despite actually liking the band ...which I did after reading this.
This comment was inspired by this fascinating post.
I spend a lot of time complaining about the show's writing while praising its production: acting, cinematography and music, but the reverse is true with the books: the writing is sublime but there are two areas where the production team has badly screwed up in my opinion:
I have no problem with using storytelling, rather than chronology, to order the chapters, but all the events you list (and many of the TWoW chapters, especially those pertaining to the three battles - Ice, Fire and the setup for Aegon VI being taken seriously as a threat to King's Landing) should have been in the original book. I support this opinion with my own experience of reading it as published, and then reading it with the extra chapters - there's no contest - I'm almost infinitely more frothing-at-the-mouth for TWoW now than I was when I'd only read the published book.
Scriabin is great - I'm currently working on his 4th piano sonata.
Also, if you understand the chord notation, look through a fakebook! I'm looking to get more into jazz myself.
I had been practicing for about a bit less than a year before I decided to take up sightreading seriously. Similarly, when I was younger, my teacher didn't really ever teach me to sight read, so I mostly used the sheet to figure out how to move my fingers then never looked back.
That being said, I want to say that noticeable results were actually pretty quick. Within a week or two I was actually following and reading notes much better. At this point, I had bought a small sightreading book with about 50 or so small 5 bar pieces. I don't recommend this one, it's not very good in my opinion. I started on Bartok's Mikrokosmos next. This is where I saw the most improvement in a short time. This was the most helpful because his music tends to be pretty dissonant and doesn't sound how you'd expect. When you can't really predict the next note easily, it really forces you to read the sheet. I HIGHLY recommend this book. It works really well on a lot of levels. It's good for beginners and gets progressively more difficult as you go. It does spike in difficulty somewhat fast, so so use some of the other resources I linked below.
Though when I say improvements I don't mean I could sight read a Liszt concerto. I just mean that I had begun a mentality shift away from muscle movements and looking at the keys to actively looking at the sheet.
Here's another thread with a bunch of useful materials. A lot of these can be found online for free as well. I used the Gurlitt pieces as well, which were helpful. I can't vouch for it all, because I haven't played all the pieces, but if you worked your way through all those pieces in a week or two, you would see massive differences.
After using a lot of those pieces I got into the Bach Chorales because I had somewhat of a foundation for reading sheet at this point. I wouldn't really recommend it as a starter book. Go to Mikrokosmos for that.
Some materials I am using now is a big book of Chopin works. I take it pretty slowly and make a bunch of mistakes, but it's pretty helpful for recognizing chords which is a skill in it's own.
Some tips for practice:

There is also an xdrivers forum and other X5 forums where you can get more targeted advice from people who own them.
People don't like her music, and that's fair, though I would defend it on the basis that it was completely in keeping with the Fluxus art movement she was a part of. She was never trying to make pop music. As some examples of Fluxus "music", see John Cage's "Water Walk", Dick Higgins' "Danger Music No. 17", Al Hansen's "The Futuristic Chattanooga Choo Choo in the Mongolian Desert", and Ken Friedman's "Melon Melody".
She kind of/sort of introduced John to heroin, though she had only done it once before herself. Someone gave it to her at a party, and around the time they got together, a bunch of the Beatles' friends were doing it. Paul himself had done it in 1967. John had started reading about it, and Yoko mentioned she'd done it once before. John asked her what she thought of it, and she said it wasn't that bad. So John arranged for them to snort some. It was his first time, her second, and they got hooked on it for about two years.
She wasn't exactly a good stepmother to Julian, though that was much to do with the circumstances of she and John living in the U.S. and Julian living with his mother in the U.K. She deserves some of the blame, because she didn't exactly encourage the relationship between John and Julian, though if you read the letters reproduced in the book The John Lennon Letters, John himself wrote that this was much to do with Cynthia keeping Julian from communicating with him. John wrote to his cousin Liela that when he was with May Pang, he would talk to Julian once a week, but once he got back together with Yoko, he suspected that Cynthia purposely stopped Julian from talking to him, because whenever he would call, Julian never seemed to be available.
Probably the most legitimate criticisms of Yoko in relation to the Beatles, though, was that John would have her speak on his behalf at some of their band meetings, and she would do this willingly, which really got under the others' skin. When George quit during the LIB sessions, John tried to do this at a meeting to get him to come back, and George called the meeting off. They met again a few days later, sans Yoko, and the band had it out about that issue and all their other issues, and John seemed to not let it happen so much after that.
And she was also a supporter of Allen Klein during the whole Klein/Eastman fiasco, and she probably influenced John's decision to go with Klein. Though I think even that can be attributed to her entirely--Mick Jagger and the Stones were the ones who recommended Klein to John, and George and Ringo were impressed with him, too. It was more of a pissing match that went beyond Yoko, though Yoko certainly didn't help matters.
And then, of course, she was a constant presence in the recording studio once she got together with John. Though, again, that was more John's doing than hers. If John had told her, "It would be better if you stayed home," she would have. She would later say that the lack of privacy and John's smothering her were a big reason they broke up in 1973-74. But at the beginning she found it endearing, so she went along with it. She probably should have known better, but the whole thing with Yoko being there all the time seems to have been a passive-aggressive move on John's part to drive a wedge between him and the other Beatles rather than something that Yoko thought up or had insisted upon. Still, if she'd wanted to, she could have told him, "It's too hostile, I don't want to be there." Then again, maybe that did happen at some point, but as Paul said during the LIB sessions, it seems John was of the mind, "If Yoko's not there, I'm not there, either." So even if she did say something like that to John privately, his reaction was probably, "If you're not going, I'm not going," so she decided to go. Regardless, it was weird, and she probably could have got John to back off if she'd been more forceful about it.
She's far from a perfect person, and even the legitimate criticisms are often distorted, but she's definitely not beyond criticism. She was definitely a "weird" influence on John, to say the least. On the other hand, after they quit heroin, she kept John quite grounded. They became quite domesticated from 1975 on. Meanwhile, Ringo became a severe alcoholic despite having three children at home, and George had a cocaine problem and drank rather heavily, too, at the time that John had settled down, largely due to Yoko's influence. On the whole, I think she was good for him, but she wasn't without her flaws.

I got into Jazz by listening to Theme De Yoyo by Art Ensemble Of Chicago. From there I moved onto the big hitters like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck. Closer inspection of the players on the albums will lead you to other soloists. For example the Sax player Cannonball Adderly is on kind of blue, he has an album called Somethin' Else which has Art Blakey on Drums etc etc etc.
The more you dig the more you find out there is to listen. You then start to visit historic people like louis armstrong, duke ellington etc and through that you recognize standards. Then once you start out seeking out standards you realise loads of people do them and you get into the modern stuff.
All music is for sure a great resource as they basically tell you who is on the lp and its rating. i trust them for jazz. Also, this book is lovely.
I then started seeking out records labels like Blue Note, Impulse, ECM, Jazz Actuel, Columbia Jazz etc.
Let me know how you are getting on in the future. I'd stay clear at the moment from loft jazz, fire music and free jazz as some of its crazy. And I will just laugh when you hear machine gun and go "WTF IS THIS!!!!) yes, it IS a saxophone...
just enjoy it.

The progressions
I IV vii° iii vi ii V I
and
i iv VII III VI ii° V I
are the major and minor versions of what I was taught to call a "descending-second" sequence. (Some people call the same thing a "descending fifths sequence".) The latter bits of these sequences seem pretty similar to the progressions that you've provided for us here.
In a sequence, you can repeat the same melodic pattern on different scale degrees. An example of the minor-key version of this sequence in popular music is Fly Me to the Moon.
There are other kinds of sequences as well, such as the descending-third sequence that you'll see in the first six beats of Pachelbel's Canon in D (I V vi iii IV I).
It's good to practice playing sequences, as they're a common harmonic pattern. A popular voice-leading textbook includes these keyboard exercises on diatonic sequences which you might want to practice. The textbook recommends practicing these in every key up to four sharps and flats, in both major and minor unless otherwise specified.
fakebook?
This looks awesome. I love this kind of extended criticism. Though they don't have very good reviews I thought the 33 1/3rd's dedicated to Kid A and OK Computer were at least worthwhile - you'd probably find them interesting if you haven't read them already.

Check out Bill Frisell, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Weather Report. These are all fusion guys and may serve as a good bridge between rock and jazz for you. Beyond that, learn about the greats. Even non-guitarists. Learn about how Louis Armistrong played trumpet, how Coltrane played sax, how Monk played piano, how Max Roach played drums. One thing I love about jazz is that there's a lot of cross-instrument inspiration. A whole style of piano playing was invented by Armstrong's pianist mimicking his trumpet playing on the keys.
Other people have recommended the Ken Burns Jazz documentary, and I would as well. It's a great look through the history of jazz. This book is also a great resource, going both into the history and the musicality of jazz.
My suggestions are going to be very simple. I highly recommend you don't try to skip anything thinking it's too easy for where you are. This is how you end up with lots of gaps. I speak from deeply personal experience and some of the best improvements in my playing have come from realizing that unless it's easy enough that I can sightread it perfectly and effortlessly the first time, it's worth working. Every small thing even in children's beginner books helps build that scaffolding that remove ability gaps and helps you be a better and more consistent player.
>1) get some classic stuff that we learn at the begining and
Not entirely clear about what you want in terms of if you just want the basics or you specifically mean you want some classical style stuff. Either way, here are some recommendations.
Alfred All-In-One - This is just a generally good book to work through with a lot of fairly basic stuff mostly sticking to a very small harmonic palette used in a ton of music. You can carry on to level 2 and 3 when you're done.
Masterwork Classics - If you're looking for actual simple literature, this is a great place to start. Very easy pieces and a great progressive series of books.
Burgmuller Op. 100 - Probably a it more challenging, but great progressive stuff as well and very classical.
Czerny Op. 139 - More progressive goodness.
Czerny Op. 821 - Not progressive, but lots of very short, bite-sized exercises that isolate specific things that show up in classical music, but in a fun musical way rather than just dull exercises.
>2) get better at sight-reading. I have lots of gaps in my piano skills.
Progressive Sightreading - These are ridiculously easy, but this is really where you should start. They are easy enough to let you be successful quickly and focus on keeping your eyes on the page because they are all within a 5 finger pattern reach covering all keys.
Paul Harris books - These are progressive sets of books that slowly introduce specific concepts. My favorite part about them is the articulations and stylistic directions that go beyond just having you hit the right notes, but have you actually thinking about how you want a piece to sound.
Mikrokosmos - These start a bit easy, but get hard very quickly. They also tend to not stick to predictable western harmony, which helps with getting your reading out of its comfort zone. Additionally, there tends to be a good deal more left hand motion and even melodies which really helps your left hand not just be the accompaniment hand.
Bach Chorales - I'm honestly not a huge fan, but some people swear by these. I would actually instead recommend finding a hymnal instead. These chorales are not only more difficult than most hymns, but will be extremely frustrating if you don't have a comfortable 10th.
In general, you should be learning lots of small pieces constantly. A huge part of sightreading is actually being technically capable. If you can't execute it technically, you can't read it. So find lots of pieces in a variety of styles that you can learn in no more than a week, or better, several of in a week. Lots of short focused pieces will chip away at very small weakness in your playing very quickly and efficiently. This will make your reading much better. Better technique and reading will lead to you being able to learn increasingly difficult music much faster. You'll likely find that something that once might've taken you a month to learn could be learned in a week. Something that could be learned in a week might be learned in a day or even sightread.
Try to remember when learning new, simple pieces, to try to keep your eyes on the page. Not matter how slow or out of tempo you need to go, really learn to trust your ability to feel the distances and shapes of chords you need to play. You might need to look early on for stuff that is more difficult for you, but try to get to a point where you don't need to look. When you can trust yourself in that regard, your reading ability will increase a ton.
Because I'm borderline aspie and sometimes don't get irony:

I don't understand why it's so poorly reviewed; I really enjoyed it!
I actually read it in a book by Robert Walser called Running with the Devil: Power, Gender, and Madness in Heavy Metal Music. From what I recall, the book was quite good, though it was 20 years ago that I read it so I'm not sure what I would think about it now (I'm a lot more skeptical of social theory than I was then given its current state as an academic discipline). I remember especially liking the "high culture" vs "low culture" discussions, and the "cross cultural juxtaposition" phrase was used when he noted similarities between heavy metal and opera. I think he also said that the method is called different things by different people, so maybe this description is his own and not too common. He might even be the originator. I didn't invent it though, unfortunately.
Check out The Jazz Fake Book; my high school music teacher had a copy for each key and our jazz ensemble was always looking through it.
Heh once you start it's gonna go far beyond 3 weeks. Over at archive.org you can find thousands of recordings, both soundboard recordings and audience recordings. I think you should start with the first album and then listen to a show or two from that era and then do the same for each album. Maybe some older Deadheads can recommend some shows from each era, album by album. I'm a big fan of the '73-'74 sound which was when they released Wake of the Flood and From the Mars Hotel. My favorite show from then is 6/10/73 at RFK Stadium.
You'll find different Deadheads favoring different eras. Some people prefer the Pigpen years and some prefer the Brent Mydland years but each and every era is worth listening to.
While you're at it read Phil Lesh's book.

Okay! A keyboard.
I bought all five GBA games from a seller on eBay for £22. I figured, why the hell not, I've never played any of them and they sell for ~£15-£20 each on Amazon. Excellent value!
When they arrived they looked legit - but I've never owned a GBA or any of the games so I couldn't compare. I was partly tipped off when I started playing Ruby - the grass/trees change colour a little when you're running, becoming more vibrant. When I went to leave seller feedback, I happened to spot some feedback that said "Great value. Fakes, but very good fakes."
So I went looking and according to this link the games are indeed fake. The only thing the cartidges don't have is the stamped stickers on the holographic foil - everything else is there. So I know they're fake, at least.
But thanks for the warning! I knew that fake cartidges wouldn't necessarily let you transfer the Pokemon across, but I didn't realise that they would erase the game data. I had intended to try it, just to see if I could, but my DS games are all much further ahead than these new games, so maybe I'll just start playing 'em all and wait to buy the proper versions rather than investing too heavily in them now.
This was a lot of text to say something that doesn't necessarily mean a lot. D'oh.
O man, you seems to be someone who know everything about The Beatles, great, thanks. For now I got Lennon: The Life and this Emerciks' story which I have already begun and I must say that first chapters are very good. Really enjoy description of the feelings this young's men, how huge were Beatles to him, like to guy from the street, like... to me. Maybe this why it works.
Btw. do you know The John Lenoon Letters (https://www.amazon.com/John-Lennon-Letters/dp/0316200808)? This is from Davis and I'm interesting about this becouse it's the secound book available in my first language (polish) about The Beatles. Idk, there are just a letters, but maybe after "The Life" I should take it?
Understand Rap: Explanations of Confusing Rap Lyrics that You & Your Grandma Can Understand
Like this it's basically all the jazz tunes with the melody and chords written out. The only thing it doesn't give you is a written out score, so you have to improvise how to play out the chords over the melody.
I agree with some of the classic albums that have been mentioned. I would add that you should check out John Coltrane's "Giant Steps," and just about any Charlie Parker compilation on top of "Kind of Blue" and "Time Out."
Really though, what you will like is very idiosyncratic. For example, because I play guitar and came to jazz through fusion, my favorite artists are guitarists: Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Emily Remler, etc. So your tastes will matter a whole lot.
To go with your listening, I would suggest you get a copy of Jazz 101 (http://www.amazon.com/Jazz-101-Complete-Learning-Loving/dp/0786884967) and just start searching on YouTube for famous recordings of standards.
Then, once you've finished Jazz 101, get a copy of Giddins and DeVeaux's Jazz (http://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Gary-Giddins/dp/0393068617) and go through it.
If you are still interested in the history of jazz after going through those two books, Ted Gioia has written a book titled "The History of Jazz," which is on my shelf but I have yet to read.
From memory I think this book was quite interesting... and had a lot of technical information in it
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Radioheads-OK-Computer-33/dp/0826416632
Great, hope it was helpful. To better understand voice leading try a book like Harmony and Voice Leading (3rd Edition), or another book on tonal harmony. I bet your local library will have some, and a universiy/college library with a music program def. will.
You gotta read The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx. Makes Slash look like an amateur (He's involved too, though).
A quick Google renders this result
Haven't read it though.
There were a few details in Phil's book and Long Strange Trip but they don't get that technical.

When I was a student we used Harmony and Voice Leading by Aldwell & Schachter. It's an incredibly robust textbook.
I will say that having been through that book (and already having a BMus) really made diving into The Jazz Theory Book an absolute joy. You're right that having a strong foundation is helpful before reading it.
I have this on my coffee table, it's a personal fave. Scar Tissue is also a great read, I've read it twice now. Crazy to see Kiedis still rock the stage knowing all he put himself and his body through.
If someone says their song is "in Gm", that implies the tonal center is the G minor chord and other chords used from the G minor scale obey some basic conventions concerning how one chord progresses to another chord.
As an example, the most common chord progression in all of Western music is known as the I-V-I progression (read one-five-one). The I chord is the "tonic" and the V chord is the "dominant" of whatever key you're in. In G minor, the tonic is a G minor chord and the dominant is a D major chord (for reasons that are beyond the scope of a simple reddit comment), so instead you have i-V-i (lower case roman numerals indicate minor chord qualities).
If you were to extend the progression, you would of course want to select chords that sound good one after the other. You can obviously just do this by ear, but it turns out that the reason certain chords sound good together is due to something called "voice leading".
Basically, imagine that each note in a three note chord is a "voice" that wants to continue in a pleasing, logical progression. There are a few ways such a voice could do this:
The basis for these conventions stems from hundreds of years of Western music tradition, but is still mostly followed today in almost all pop music (with some notable exceptions concerning perfect fifths). If you want to understand this at a deeper level, I strongly recommend you study writing four-part harmony. Four-part writing is standard in every theory textbook, so if you can read music you can learn it straight out of something like Steven G. Laitz's The Complete Musician or Aldwell and Schachter's Harmony & Voice Leading.
I know it's a contentious group of pieces, but I've had incredible luck with Hanon. If you can read music and play hands together, I highly recommend it.
I took lessons for 13 years, but since I've been in college I've been self teaching. I've always really loved piano and I have decent technique, but I never really learned things in a way that wasn't sloppy. I decided I wanted to change that, and I sat down and learned all 3 parts of Hanon exactly as instructed in the book. It's not a perfect method, but I play through it every day now and honestly my technique is miles beyond what it used to be. I wish I had learned as a beginner so badly it hurts.
So my suggestion to you is this: buy this book (http://www.amazon.com/Hanon-Virtuoso-Exercises-Complete-Schirmers/dp/0793525446/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414561983&sr=1-1&keywords=hanon), play through it every day (no matter how boring it may get) exactly as instructed. It takes a little under an hour to play the whole book at tempo, and I imagine you'll be preoccupied learning all of the etudes for quite a while.
I'm a firm believer that we can all craft ourselves into excellent pianists, and all I think you need to do that is repertoire and a will to practice and make a sound that you like. Once you have the technique from the Hanon down, you can get started on any number of pieces. Another very good method is Bela Bartok's Mikrokosmos, which my mean, Hungarian teacher made me slave away at for years. It comes in 6 volumes, the first of which is (http://www.amazon.com/Mikrokosmos-Pink-English-French-Hungarian/dp/1423493044/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414562208&sr=1-1&keywords=mikrokosmos).
If you were to learn a significant amount of the material from either of those methods, you would be a significantly better pianist. If classical piano isn't necessarily the route you want to go, you'll still be well served by either/or.
The most important thing is to play whenever the urge strikes you, in my experience. It becomes a bit of an addiction, but there's such a huge world of piano music out there that you'll never grow bored with it, and you'll certainly never run out of things to do. Best of luck.
I was thinking of the audiobook version of this book. Now that I go back and listen now, it's pretty dry. It's like a textual analysis of the finished product, rather than breaking down the recording process. Idk, if you have a free Audible trial due (I think you can do one per year) it's worth a listen.

Looking for the newly released Autobiography of Gucci Mane PDF file
how much time are you looking to devote? any mediums in particular that you want (documentaries, books, lectures, etc)? are you already into jazz or are you new to the genre? any specific musicians instruments or styles that you want to learn more about in particular? without knowing an of that.
There are numerous literary references in Rush songs if you're interested.
Have a look at this. It's from 1995-1996, but it's a good start.
"Clockwork Angels" has also been translated into a novel.
There are all kinds of Easter eggs in Rush's work, as well. The cover of "Clockwork Angels" is a clock face with the hands pointing at 9:12, or 21:12 in 24-hour time. I'll leave the rest for you to find. It's part of the fun.
Also, Geddy Lee changed the way I thought about music in 1996 when I discovered Rush, and made me a damn good bass player because of it. I don't want to brag, but I've never auditioned for a band and lost the part. In my current band, I beat out 41 other bass players for the part, and I'm 15-20 years younger than the other guys. Geddy inspired me to sit down and work on getting good. I've been playing bass for more than half my life (since I was 13 back in 1993), and it's probably the thing I'm best at, behind my actual (and less fun) job.
In short, some people don't get it, but Rush changed my life. Band mates are second only to family in loyalty, and I've met some amazing people along the way. I don't think I would have been afforded the experiences I've had if my girlfriend when I was 16 didn't get me "Exit... Stage Left" for my birthday.
Anyway, I'm rambling. Good luck to you on your class. I think you've got lots of material to work with in studying Rush.
This is a great book
http://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Gary-Giddins/dp/0393068617/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_4
You gotta learn your scales, man. One other thing I see recomended a lot is solo transcribing. As for books, I really like [mark levine's] (http://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Theory-Book-Mark-Levine/dp/1883217040) for the theory, and this one, but since you're a bass player, you might get more out of a book specifically tailored to your instrument.
But the really most important thing is to practice improvisation whenever you can, preferably in a group. Maybe you can organize a small jazz combo where you live, or join classes with other aspiring jazz musicians like yourself?
You can purchase LP mailers at most local record stores and several online locations, such as Amazon.com. There's actually a perfect write-up for this by an eBay seller here.
If you still have questions, you can submit your question using the 'Submit a New Question' button on the side or within this thread. There are several users who frequent that thread in order to help users with questions. Good luck!
Buy this book. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0793561930
Lots of good info already in this thread but came here to say this. Connecting Chords with Linear Harmony by Bert Ligon is worth checking out. He lays a good framework for a harmomically specific approach to improvisation. Tons of examples from many different jazz players are used to demonstrate his ideas. If anything, its full of tasty licks but there's a good method approach to be had as well.

> On October 30th, 1992, Nirvana were booked to play a major show in Buenos Aires, Argentina. They were so big at that point in time that they just about sold-out José Amalfitani Stadium, which can hold nearly fifty thousand people. Prior to their set, Kurt Cobain witnessed the negative reception their hand picked opening act received, and was so incensed that he considered canceling the gig. Nirvana ultimately did perform that night, but they were sloppy and their set-list was more than a little unusual, as they purposely incorporated rare songs from their catalogue that they knew most of the audience wouldn’t be familiar with, including a couple of unreleased numbers. It ended up being one of their oddest shows, and it was all captured on videotape by a professional film crew.
>
> Kurt later shared his memories of the gig:
>
> > “When we played Buenos Aires, we brought this all-girl band over from Portland called Calamity Jane,” Kurt recalled. “During their entire set, the whole audience—it was a huge show with like sixty thousand people—was throwing money and everything out of their pockets, mud and rocks, just pelting them. Eventually the girls stormed off crying. It was terrible, one of the worst things I’ve ever seen, such a mass of sexism all at once. Krist, knowing my attitude about things like that, tried to talk me out of at least setting myself on fire or refusing to play. We ended up having fun, laughing at them (the audience). Before every song, I’d play the intro to ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ and then stop. They didn’t realize that we were protesting against what they’d done. We played for about forty minutes, and most of the songs were off Incesticide, so they didn’t recognize anything. We wound up playing the secret noise song (‘Endless, Nameless’) that’s at the end of Nevermind, and because we were so in a rage and were just so pissed off about this whole situation, that song and whole set were one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had.” (from Nirvana: The Chosen RejectsImage)
>
>
> Kurt Cobain in Buenos Aires
> Kurt in Buenos Aires
>
> If you watch the show (which is embedded below), you’ll realize that Kurt was misremembering or embellishing a bit here and there. While they did unearth a handful of rarities from their odds-n-ends collection IncesticideImage (which hadn’t been released yet), as well as “All Apologies” (it later turned up on In UteroImage), they also played most of NevermindImage (but not “Teen Spirit,” which they teased before two songs), and a few of the highlights from BleachImage. One thing Kurt failed to mention that they most certainly did do to annoy the crowd, was open with a strange, jam-like number that those in attendance had definitely never heard before.
>
> Unavailable on any of Nirvana’s archival releases and believed to have been performed at just this show, the track has come to be known by the most-excellent of titles, “Nobody Knows I’m New Wave”—though there is no documentation available to confirm its validity. The go-to source for Nirvana bootleg info, Live Nirvana, believes it is just a jam, largely due to official biographer Michael Azerrad’s assessment in his book, Come As You Are: The Story of NirvanaImage:
>
> > “The first thing they played was an improvised jam, which deteriorated into a fifteen minute fest from Kurt, with breaks when he would stop to glare at the crowd.”
>
> The circulating video of the show begins with “Nobody Knows I’m New Wave,” but lasts less than three minutes, so it’s difficult to know what Azerrad is referring to. Does the tape begin twelve-plus minutes after their set started? Or has Azerrad himself embellished or misremembered the event?
>
> Though the majority of the lyrics were probably made up on the spot (including “I promise to shit on your head”; “I’m new wave/I’m old school”) and the racket they’re generating collapses after just a couple of minutes, structurally it does have a chorus, which makes me think it was somewhat worked out beforehand. Either way, this isn’t the sort of track most groups would start a stadium concert with.
>
> In Come As You Are, Azerrad also notes that the band “had hardly practiced, their enthusiasm was low, and they played badly.” Regardless, there are some great moments, like the especially heavy version of “In Bloom” (though Kurt messes up a lot); when Dave Grohl brings a toy drum kit to the front of the stage for “Polly” (and Kurt cracks a smile); the aforementioned catharsis that is “Endless, Nameless”; and the intriguing opener. Is it a song or just a jam to piss-off the Argentineans? You decide.
