Fuck You Too Friedman, Glen E.
0965653501 Hardcover
From the master photographer of the hip hop and skate scenes comes this revised collection of images. This new edition of Glen E. Friedman's "Fuck You Too" came about due to the insistence of many of his friends and fans who wanted to see the outtakes and extras of all of the different people he had shot over the years, particularly those who were not included in "Fuck You Heroes". From the early skateboarding days at the West Lost Angeles (DogTown) school yards, to the Punk shows and riots in Hollywood and CBGB's, from the gangster ridden streets of the Compton Hip-Hop scene all the way through more recent band photo sessions and to his Liberty Street protest at Ground Zero in New York City, this book covers it all. Also includes lots of amazing obscure punk shots, including the Bad Brains, Black Flag, Dead Kennedy's, Misfits, Minutemen, Minor Threat, Social Distortion, Reagan Youth, Circle Jerks, Suicidal Tendencies, Cramps, Big Boys, Ramones, the Faith, Descendents, Adolescents, Stimulators, Discharge, the Damned, Murphy's Law, UK Subs, Angelic Upstarts and BuzzCocks. Classic hip hop shots also feature, and include images of Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Ice-T, South Central Cartel, Busy Bee, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Ultra Magnetic MC's, KRS-1, Kurtis Blow, King Tee, PUBLIC ENEMY, Fat Boys, Ja Rule, Sean Combs and even U.T.F.O. The skate shots are of all the originators in DogTown (Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Shogo Kubo, Jim Muir, Paul Constantineau.) They also include classic early images of Duane Peters, Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, "Gator", Neil Blender, Ray "Bones", Steve Alba, Tom Groholski, Mike McGill, Eddie Elgura, Christian Hosoi and images of Tony Hawk from the early 80s, as well as a shot of a pre-teen Cara-Beth Burnside. A truly comprehensive compendium of the images from a renowned photographer, this new edition packs a powerful punch and contains many previously unseen images from his archives. A must-have book for anyone remotely interested in the scene.

Buried Alive: The Biography of Janis Joplin Friedman, Myra
0517586509 Paperback
Electrifying, highly acclaimed, and intensely personal, this new and updated version of Myra Friedman's classic biography of Janis Joplin teems with dramatic insights into Joplin's genius and into the chaotic times that catapulted her to fame as the legendary queen of rock. It is a stunning panorama of the turbulent decade when Joplin's was the rallying voice of a generation that lost itself in her music and found itself in her words.
From her small hometown of Port Arthur, Texas, to San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury, from the intimate coffeehouses to the supercharged concert halls, from the glitter of worldwide fame to her tragic end in a Hollywood hotel, here is all the fire and anguish of an immortal, immensely talented, and troubled performer who devoured everything the rock scene had to offer in a fatal attempt to make peace with herself and her era. Yet, in an eloquent introduction recently written by the author, Joplin emerges from her "ugly duckling" childhood as a woman truly ahead of her time, an outrageous rebel, a defiant outcast and artist of incomparable authenticity who, almost in spite of herself, became to so many a symbol of triumph over adversity.
This edition also contains an afterword detailing the whereabouts of a large and colorful cast of characters who were part of Joplin's life, as well as "We Remember Janis," a new chapter of poignant and affectionate anecdotes told by friends.

Don't Torture A Duckling Fulci, Lucio
DVD DVD
he oddly titled Don't Torture a Duckling (taken from a minor plot point) is one of director Lucio Fulci's most linear and conventional narratives, relying more on story and mystery than on gore and atmospherics. In a rural Italian village, young boys turn up dead, and the authorities are stumped as to who the murderer is. A reporter lends his efforts to the hunt for the killer, many red herrings turn up, and more kids are murdered while the police search for the culprit. A sexually liberated young woman from Milan, a local witch, and the village idiot all fall under suspicion until the killer is uncovered. Gone is much of the director's trademark visual style, replaced with the blinding sunlight of an Italian summer for a hyperrealistic feel (though Fulci's affinity for the zoom shot and deep focus comes through). More tellingly, though, Fulci points toward the superstition and ignorance of the villagers as being as dangerous and destructive as the murderer himself. Also, the film's vehemently anti-Catholic sentiment had to have been controversial at the time of its release. Fans of the giallo and Italian horror in general would do well to seek out this film for an example of Lucio Fulci at his most grim and serious.

Culture Of Fear Furedi, Frank
0826493955 Paperback
Fear has become an ever-expanding part of life in the West in the twenty-first century. We live in terror of disease, abuse, stranger danger, environmental devastation and terrorist onslaught. We are bombarded with reports of new concerns for our safety and that of our children, and urged to take greater precautions and seek more protection. But compared to the past, or to the developing world, people in contemporary Western societies have much less familiarity with pain, suffering, debilitating disease and death. We actually enjoy an unprecedented level of personal safety. When confronted with events like the destruction of the World Trade Centre, fear for the future is inevitable. But what happened on September 11th 2001 was in many ways an old fashioned act of terror, representing the destructive side of the human passions. Frank Furedi argues that the greater danger in our culture is the tendency to fear achievements representing a more constructive side of humanity. We panic about GM food, about genetic research, about the health dangers of mobile phones. The facts often fail to support the scare stories about new or growing risks to our health and safety. Our obsession with theoretical risks is in danger of distracting society from dealing with the old-fashioned dangers that have always threatened our lives. In this new edition, Furedi relates his own thinking on the sociology of fear to the thought of earlier thinkers such as Darwin and Fred and to the sociological tradition of Durkheim, C. Wright Mills, Anthony Giddens and others.

Panzram A Journal of Murder GaddisAnd Long
Amok 1878923145 Softcover

Imprisoned for most of his life from the age of twelve and brutally punished, Panzram's keen insight into the arbitrary cruelty of his fellow human being is graphically illustrated with a litany of prison abuses, as well as the details of his own sordid, tragic life. Panzram arrives as a gripping warning from America's past to new prison-industrial complex era. The authors add an historical and sociological framework for Panzram's words.

Brown Bunny, The Gallo, Vincent
DVD DVD
Another enraging, provocative, solipsistic movie from Vincent Gallo, the longtime New York artist, model, photographer, painter, filmmaker, and general pain in the neck. After losing a motorcycle race in New Hampshire, Bud (Gallo) loads his Honda RS 250 into a black van and begins a cross-country trek home to Los Angeles, where he plans to hook up with his girlfriend (Chloë Sevigny). Much of the movie plays in silence, or near silence, as Bud-a romantic loner unconsciously passing across heroic American landscapes-journeys through plains, mountains, and sunset-red skies. The camera is perched over Bud's shoulder as he drives, and we see, through the front window, the road markers endlessly approaching and disappearing, the landscapes falling away-the bluesy trancelike visions, half monotonous, half mesmerizing, of an insomniac driving beyond need or reason. The movie ends with the notorious scene of Sevigny fellating Gallo, which, for the record, is too oddly framed and distanced to be considered pornographic. In its surly way, the movie casts a spell; the last scene, retroactively, pulls the meanings together. With Cheryl Tiegs as a disconsolate, wordless beauty sitting at a roadside rest stop.

Graffiti World Ganz, Nicholas; Manco, Tristan
0500511705 Hardcover
Following the unrelated project Autograf: New York City's Graffiti Writers (powerHouse), which also took an auteur-based approach this past season, Granz (whose pen name is Keinom) widens the scope to present those he sees as the world's top graffiti writers, offering alphabetical sections of artists from the Americas, Europe and "The Rest of the World." Short prefatory histories put New York at the center of the modern graffiti world, with South American countries like Brazil later having "reached a high standard." The work is beautifully photographed throughout; multiple pieces by each artist are laid out appealingly over verso-recto spreads, along with a paragraph by Granz detailing the artist's origins and the main thrust of the work (and occasionally a photo of the artist him or herself). From gigantic murals to tiny stickers, Granz has seen and photographed it all and talks knowledgeably about everything from "wildstyle" fontage to the non-orthographically based "character culture," where artists create (and replicate) cartoonish figures in various figurative exploits. Striking a colloquial balance between insider's knowledge and thoughtful presentation, Granz's book should be durable for its cohesion of vision, if not for the scale of presentation of each artist.

Finally in paperback! This critically acclaimed, best-selling insider's account of New York's sneaker culture chronicles the rise of the mighty gym shoe, with the bulk of the book examining nearly 400 models released during the golden years of 1970-1987. Bobbito Garcia, a DJ, a VIBE columnist and the host of ESPN2's "It's the Shoes," describes how a small and dedicated group of consumers in the 1970s and early 80s were instrumental in creating the trends that have made athletic shoes ubiquitous today and in establishing current corporate giants like Nike and Adidas. Information-packed entries for each model include available color combinations, athletic endorsements and often hilarious running commentary and stories from a rogues' gallery of fanatics who weigh in on the pros and cons of each shoe.

Saddest Place On Earth Garcia, Camille Rose
Last Gasp 0867196394 Hardcover
Camille Rose Garcia's world is a beautiful place. It is the ballroom of an Empire, a forest of aquamarine jewels, a place where cream layered cakes, crystal castles, and opiate abundance serve to sedate the masses. But as the telescope retracts, the glossy veneer of privilege falls away to reveal another reality. Machine guns and machetes decorate the landscape alongside exploding poppies. Deer and princesses hang suspensefully in a cloud of malaise, and disbelief becomes the ether of the living. Ultraviolenceland is the opulent wallpaper of destruction that decorates our lives. Its surface is seductive, its layers are complex, and its future is uncertain. Camille Rose Garcia's work examines ideas of decadence, deception, and denial explored within the context of "Empire." It serves as a looking glass into the everyday violence that supports the current power structure and prescribes a glitter coated pill to ease the swallowing. The effect of the pill once digested, however, depends upon the viewer. The Saddest Place On Earth is hardbound, 11" x 11", full color, with gatefolds and a special textured cover.
Camille Rose Garcia draws inspiration for her creepy distopias from her upbringing in the generic suburbs of Orange County. Her disenchantment with society brought her into a world of subversive art and music. Garcia's work has been featured in Juxtapoz, Paper, Flaunt, and Blab.

Flat Earth: The History of an Infamous Idea Garwood, Christine
Thomas Dunne 2008 0330432893 Paperback
In historical study, there is a dangerous tendency to mask ignorance as pedantry and claim one understands a subject without context, knowledge of the relevant literature and only extreme prejudice to back up spurious claims.
While reviews seem to fit the pattern, Dr Garwood's enduring triumph is that she avoids all the classic pitfalls that beset scholar and lay person alike. This is an astounding book dealing with a fascinating movement quite brilliantly, bringing all the very best skills and methods of the history and sociology of science to bear. She does so in a manner that is accessible, extraordinarily well researched (there are incontrovertible and powerful archival sources that have never been accessed or gathered by a scholar before), contextually interpreted and understated in its lucid and politically relevant conclusion.
Every chapter of this book can be viewed as a scholarly, historically rich and wide ranging case study. It is a genuine jaw dropper for anyone who wants to understand the relationship between science and society, religion and science and science as a potentially ideological force in the world. The book takes the very best and most scholarly literature in the field and develops the history and sociology of science further by providing an insightful and erudite analysis of her case. It is a path breaking book in so many ways.
From the discussion of the older history of the idea of a flat earth, which rightly builds on David Lindberg and Professor Burton Russell, the scene is well set and prepared for an intelligent and stimulating discussion of the relations between science and religion. There is a wealth of reference material available that Dr Garwood has skillfully interpreted that shows a long pattern of development and knowledge acquisition in the medieval period.
Into the contemporary era, Dr Garwood includes the wonderfully written and evocative example of the Canadian society and the so-called 'counter culture', noting how non-scientific ideas can feed and mutate themselves on a wave of social scepticism about the use of science. The sections on Wallace are revelatory; demonstrating the complexities in claims to scientific knowledge and in deciding what constitutes science at different times. It is also gripping as a narrative.
This book is an indispensable addition to the shelf of every reader, every class room and every university reading list in history, sociology or politics.
So why the controversy? When you read this book and you really must, you will understand how something as pernicious and incoherent as creationism or Intelligent Design can claim scientific status in the modern world. Context, motivation, power, money, politics are all here and Dr Garwood has done an enormous service in providing such a relevant, politically instructive and educationally motivating work for the public.

Chapel of Extreme Experience: A Short History of the Dream Machine Geiger, John
1932360018 Paperback
How a 200 year old visual phenomenon has become the basis of scientific studies into how the brain works, and its repercussions on contemporary artistic and musical culture.

Geiger's history begins at this point and goes on to study the transition to the art world that was pioneered by Brion Gysin, William S. Burroughs, Gensis P-Orridge and Allen Ginsberg. While the book is an examination of the intersection between art and science, it is also a study of major currents in Western culture by way of an investigation of an obscure phenomenon.

Passion is a Fashion: The Real Story of the Clash Gilbert, Pat
1845130170 Hardcover
The only internationally successful, million-selling group to emerge from the late seventies London punk scene, the Clash set out to change the world with a potent mix of politics, blazing rock?n?roll and iconic imagery. The band?s interest in social issues - unemployment, racism, police oppression - and fascination with international events - terrorism, CIA-backed coups, the shadow of nuclear war - reflected the turmoil of an era when the great cultural revolution of the sixties appeared to have failed. It was an agenda mirrored in the Clash?s music, which swiftly evolved from ferocious punk rock to incorporate reggae, ska, funk, jazz, soul and hip hop. Passion is a Fashion draws on over 70 interviews with the key participants in the story ? roadies, producers, friends and fans - and above all conversations with the band members themselves, to give the first real insight into what went on behind the scenes during the Clash?s ten-year career. With a superb sense of place, from the streets of south London and the grimy bedsits of Notting Hill to the dislocated luxury of Los Angeles, it charts the Clash?s picaresque progress through the penurious days of the early punk scene and their groundbreaking Rock Against Racism gigs, to the arduous touring to break America and the making of the classic London Calling album, all the way to the band?s eventual dissolution and the untimely death of Joe Strummer. The book sheds new and unexpected light on the early lives of the Clash?s classic line-up - Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon - and examines the complex tensions that led to the dramatic ousting of first drummer Headon and then founder-member Jones. It also examines the often-overlooked contribution of the band?s extraordinary, larger-than-life manager, Bernard Rhodes ? one of the great rock band impresarios of all time. Gritty, independent-minded, compelling and above all authoritative, Passion Is A Fashion is the biography the Clash have long deserved.

Collected Poems 1947-1980 Ginsberg, Allen
0060914947 Paperback
Tortured by the paranoia and mental illness of his immigrant mother, and by his own homosexuality in a society that was homophobic, Allen Ginsberg's early work was as much a measure of his self-loathing as his detestation of social hypocrisy and injustice. His poems reached depths of humiliation and shame that presaged a mental breakdown, followed by recovery with the help of Buddhist philosophy. Ginsberg's political commitment was fired by his involvement with Jack Kerouac, Gary Snyder and others in the Beat movement, a poetry of social protest that refused perceived elitist boundaries. Despite a tendency toward propaganda, Ginsberg's best poetry is infused with satiric comedy and cheerful self-parody, and is most readily appreciated when read aloud.

Day the Country Died: A History of Anarcho Punk 1980 to 1984 Glasper, Ian
1901447707 Softcover
"The Day The Country Died" is the long-awaited follow-up to Ian Glasper's successful "Burning Britain", and sees the author exploring in minute detail the obscure, esoteric, UK anarcho-punk scene of the early Eighties. If the bands in "Burning Britain" were loud, political and uncompromising, those examined in "The Day The Country Died" were even more so, totally prepared to risk their liberty to communicate the ideals they believed in so passionately. With Crass and Poison Girls opening the floodgates, the arrival of bands such as Zoundz, Flux Of Pink Indians, Conflict, Subhumans, Dirt, The Mob, Rudimentary Peni, Anti-Sect, Omega Tribe and Icons Of Filth heralded a brand new age of honesty and integrity in underground music. It was a time when punk stopped being merely a radical fashion statement, and became a force for real social change; a genuine revolutionary movement, driven by some of the most challenging noises ever committed to tape. Anarchy, as regards punk rock, no longer meant 'cash from chaos', it meant 'freedom, peace and unity'. Anarcho-punk took the rebellion inherent in punk from Day One to a whole new level of personal awareness. All the scene's biggest names, and most of the smaller ones, are comprehensively covered with brand new, exclusive interviews and hundreds of previously unseen photographs. "The Day The Country Died" is the perfect companion piece to "Burning Britain" for anyone even remotely interested in the UK punk scene.

Redneck Manifesto Goad, Jim
0684838648 Paperback
You've not read another book like The Redneck Manifesto because there are no other books like it. It's the sort of book that comes along once in a lifetime, which will be too often for some people. It's a rude awakening for a spazzed-out nation. A fire under the ass of a culturally confused country. A literary laxative for a constipated public. It's destined to prick the conscience of a nation which enjoys feeling guilty, but which doesn't like to do anything about it. You'll laugh, and then you'll hate yourself for laughing. Your mind will be pried open but it'll only hurt a little while.
Jim Goad himself a proud member of The White Trash Nation, was the creator and chief writer for ANSWER Me!, a controversial "zine" that he used to publish in Los Angeles. He does not presently live in a trailer park but is thinking about it. The Redneck Manifesto is his first book.

Shit Magnet: One Man's Miraculous Ability to Absorb the World's Guilt Goad, Jim
Feral House 0922915776 Paperback
Jim Goad’s brief career as an underground celebrity has been studded with controversy, from an obscenity trial over a much-reviled “rape issue” of his online magazine, to a White House shooting in which the perpetrator quoted Goad’s writing, to a two-and-a-half-year stint in prison for assault. Shit Magnet is his manifesto, written while he was incarcerated. The book’s theme is guilt — how the act of blaming the enemy and slaying him is history’s propulsive force. Preferring the role of “shit magnet” to “pity sponge,” he explores the disabling effects of guilt; uncovers sinister forces behind fashionable stances on race, gender, and criminal justice; and offers his own life as an example of how “evil” can be imprinted on a person from an early age. Goad is the former publisher of the legendary zine Answer Me! and the author of The Redneck Manifesto.
