Six years.Seventy-two months.Over two thousand days.That's what I'd dedicated to that guitar-playing a*sehole, Danny Silver.Now I, Daisy Piper, was left to pick up the wreckage of his love while he ran off with the band to find fortune and fame.Life went on without him, and a new man soon rescued me from the ashes of Danny, but a part of my heart remained a little broken, no matter who tried to fix it. First loves can't be forgotten so easily, and when Danny returned to our small hometown in Devon-famous and adored by millions-I couldn't stop myself from wanting to get a glimpse of the man I'd once laid beside, to see how much he'd changed.The smallest actions make for the biggest mistakes, and a single look into Danny's eyes was all it took before I ran. I ran because the spark that came to life inside felt dangerous, and I wasn't the kind of girl who enjoyed getting burnt twice.But running from a rock star isn't as easy as I thought it would be, and with Danny's sights now firmly set on me again, all I could do was pray that he got bored of the chase. That he thought life in Devon was too slow for him, and that he craved the bright lights of the city, as well as the noise of the stadium.If he didn't, I was about to ruin everything for everyone.Especially myself, and my stupid little Silver-lined heart.

Ghostnotes: Music of the Unplayed is an extended photo essay with more than two hundred images that represent a mid-career retrospective of B+’s photography of hip-hop music and its influences. Taking its name from the unplayed sounds that exist between beats in a rhythm, the book creates a visual music, putting photos next to each other to evoke unseen images and create new histories. Like a DJ seamlessly overlapping and entangling disparate musics, Cross brings together LA Black Arts poetry and Jamaican dub, Brazilian samba and Ethiopian jazz, Cuban timba and Colombian cumbia. He links vendors of rare vinyl with iconic studio wizards, ranging from J Dilla and Brian Wilson to Leon Ware and George Clinton, David Axelrod to Shuggie Otis, Bill Withers to Ras Kass, Biggie Smalls to Timmy Thomas, DJ Shadow to Eugene McDaniels, and DJ Quik to Madlib. In this unique photographic mix tape, an extraordinary web of associations becomes apparent, revealing connections among people, cultures, and their creations.
