MUSIC: We Are Balboa \/ Sp<\/i><\/b>ace<\/i><\/b><\/st1:personname> Between Bodies<\/i><\/b> \u2013 Originally hailing from Madrid<\/st1:place><\/st1:state>, We Are Balboa now calls Brooklyn<\/st1:place> their home.\u00a0\u00a0 With an album produced by Jon Gray (Radio 4, The Subways, Editors) and tour dates alongside The Sounds, Primal Scream, and The Charlatans UK, you would be right to assume that \u201cSpace<\/st1:personname> Between Bodies\u201d is a collection of upbeat, jangly, Brit-inspired pop-rock.\u00a0 But above all, there is undeniable chemistry between vocalist Lua and guitarist Carlos del Amo coming across in the music.\u00a0 This is the finest Spanish musical export to reach our shores in quite some time.\u00a0 In my opinion, of course.

\"johnlennon_thelife_302\"LITERATURE: Philip Norman \/ John Lennon: The Life<\/i><\/b> \u2013 A lot of controversy surrounds this biography, which was originally endorsed by Yoko Ono.\u00a0 While its 851 pages \u2013 including table of contents \u2013 are intimidating at first glance, the book is a case of quantity practically equaling quality.\u00a0 From childhood to fatherhood, Philip Norman covers all phases on John Lennon\u2019s life.\u00a0 Insiders may be taking issue with some of Norman\u2019s claims, but \u201cThe Life\u201d is undoubtedly the most comprehensive biography of Lennon published to date.
