ISBN: 014310828X

A memoir charting thirty years of the American indie rock underground by a musician who was at its center Jon Fine spent nearly thirty years performing and recording with bands that played aggressive and challenging underground rock music, and, as he writes, at no point were any of those bands “ever threatened, even distantly, by actual fame.” Yet when the members of his 1980s post-hardcore band Bitch Magnet came together for an unlikely reunion tour in 2011, diehard fans traveled from far and wide to attend their shows, despite creeping middle-age obligations of parenthood and 9-to-5 jobs. Their devotion was testament to the remarkable staying power of indie culture. In indie rock’s pre-Internet glory days, bands like Bitch Magnet, Black Flag, Mission of Burma, and Sonic Youth—operating far outside commercial radio and major label promotion—attracted fans through word of mouth, college DJs, record stores, and zines. They found glory in all-night recording sessions, shoestring van tours, and endless appearances in grimy clubs. Some bands with a foot in this scene, like REM and Nirvana, eventually attained mainstream success. Many others, like Bitch Magnet, were beloved only by the most obsessed fans of the time. Your Band Sucks is an insider’s look at that fascinating, outrageous culture—how it emerged and evolved, how it grappled with the mainstream and vice versa, and its odd rebirth in recent years as countless bands reunited, briefly and bittersweetly. With backstage access to many key characters on the scene—and plenty of wit and sharply worded opinion—Fine delivers a memoir that affectionately yet critically portrays an important, heady moment in music history. Praise for Your Band Sucks: “Everything a cult-fave musician’s memoir should be: It’s a seductively readable book that requires no previous knowledge of the author, Bitch Magnet or any other band with which he’s played.” —Janet Maslin, The New York Times “Jon Fine has produced as evocative a portrait of the underground music scene as any wistful, graying post-punk could wish for.” —The Atlantic

Property, land, buildings, air rights above the land, and subsurface rights below the land are all examples of real estate. Real, or tangible, property is referred to by this phrase. Real estate also refers to the production, purchase, and sale of property as a business word. It has an impact on the US economy because it is a key generator of economic growth. Owners of real estate were formerly denied voting privileges under the United States Constitution. Real Estate Definition and Examples Real estate, often known as "real property," is formally defined as land plus any other physical improvement that may be built on or placed on it. The enhancement could be a new structure or a new road. A septic system, for example, is an example of anything that has been placed into the ground. It is said that land with any of these constructions has been "improved." When it doesn't have them, it's considered "enhanced." Your home, as well as any vacant land you may own, is real estate. A skyscraper in New York City or an area of undeveloped desert land that can't be built on are both examples of real estate. What Makes Real Estate Work? Because real estate does not just exist, it has several sides. It has the ability to progress from unimproved to better. It is available for purchase or sale. It could be owned by the government, a corporation, or a private individual. However, certain elements can have a direct impact on the economy, such as consistent land improvement and the individuals and companies that allow ownership transfers. Building of New Structures The construction of new homes is a crucial category. Construction of single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums are all included. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) publishes data on home sales and prices on a monthly basis. New house sales statistics are a leading economic indicator. For new properties sold, it takes four months to establish a pattern. The NAHB also keeps track of new home starts, or the number of new home construction projects that have broken ground. Agents of Real Estate Individuals, businesses, and investors use real estate brokers to buy and sell homes. Typically, the industry is separated into specialisations. Through the Multiple Listing Service or their professional contacts, sellers or listing agents assist in the search for purchasers. They price your home using "comparables," or "comps," which are listings of recently sold properties that are similar to yours. They may assist you in sprucing up your home so that it appeals to potential purchasers. They aid in discussions with the buyer or the buyer's agent in order to obtain the best price. For the home buyer, buyer's agents provide similar services. They are familiar with the local market and can locate a property that satisfies your most stringent requirements. They also "do comps," which is the practise of comparing costs. This enables them to direct you to places that are cost-effective. Buyers' agents represent you in negotiations, bringing up reasons why the seller should accept a lower offer. They can assist you with the legal aspects of the transaction, such as title searches, inspections, and financing. REALTORS are real estate agents that desire to improve their professionalism.

“Michael Gross’s new book…packs [in] almost as many stories as there are apartments in the building. The Jackie Collins of real estate likes to map expressions of power, money and ego… Even more crammed with billionaires and their exploits than 740 Park” (Penelope Green, The New York Times). With two concierge-staffed lobbies, a walnut-lined library, a lavish screening room, a private sixty-seat restaurant offering residents room service, a health club complete with a seventy-foot swimming pool, penthouses that cost almost $100 million, and a tenant roster that’s a roll call of business page heroes and villains, Fifteen Central Park West is the most outrageously successful, insanely expensive, titanically tycoon-stuffed real estate development of the twenty-first century. In this “stunning” (CNN) and “deliciously detailed” (Booklist, starred review) New York Times bestseller, journalist Michael Gross turns his gimlet eye on the new-money wonderland that’s sprung up on the southwest rim of Central Park. Mixing an absorbing business epic with hilarious social comedy, Gross “takes another gossip-laden bite out of the upper crust” (Sam Roberts, The New York Times), which includes Denzel Washington, Sting, Norman Lear, top executives, and Russian and Chinese oligarchs, to name a few. And he recounts the legendary building’s inspired genesis, costly construction, and the flashy international lifestyle it has brought to a once benighted and socially déclassé Manhattan neighborhood. More than just an apartment building, 15CPW represents a massive paradigm shift in the lifestyle of New York’s rich and famous—and is a bellwether of the city’s changing social and financial landscape.
