Incredibly Strange Music, Volume I Vale, V
Re/Search 0940642220 / 9780940642225 Paperback
Incredibly Strange Music can be your guide to discover recordings that specialize in border-crossing—eluding scholars and historians who mainly have dedicated themselves to specific "genres" such as blues, rock, jazz, classical, and other forms. This book takes the listener on a tour of topsy-turvy, genre bending sound experience. Martin Denny, Perrey and Kingsley, Eartha Kitt and others tell how they created their unique recordings. The 12 inch LP covers spotlighted here are themselves "frameable" works of art, yet can still be found for trifling sums at thrift stores and garage sales. This is a record collectors' guide to the last remaining "bargains," and remix-culture DJs looking for something new can find a treasure trove of inspiration in these pages. On another level, this book will satisfy the itinerant reader simply in search of non-conformist thinking and passions.

J.G. Ballard: Quotes Ballard, J.G.; Ryan, Mike (Editor); Vale, V. (Editor)
1889307122 / 9781889307121 Paperback
Ballard's books have remained fresh decades after they were first published, and the thoughts collected in J.G. Ballard: Quotes have worn equally as well. Small enough to fit in a pocket, this book brings together J. G. Ballard's trenchant thoughts on music, film, celebrity, the rise of corporate media, the death of reality, and much more. Grouped by topics such as "Sex: Relationships, Sex x Technology equals the Future, Pornography" and "Surrealism, Imagination," these quotes are both concise and clear, and provide a strong beacon for readers who are used to a baffling daily assault of advertisements, phone calls, and e-mails. They are also an excellent resource to help readers better understand Ballard's novels, which stand among the most visionary, provocative literature of the 20th century. A Ballardian glossary, the essay "Guide to Virtual Death," and a bibliography round out this excellent resource.

Modern Pagans: an Investigation of Contemporary Ritual Vale, V
Re/Search 1889307106 / 9781889307107 Paperback
HARD TO FIND AND NOW OUT OF PRINT!!!!This is the most uncensored, comprehensive guide to Pagans around the world today. Dozens of interviews cover a wide range of Pagan practices, from witchcraft, Northern tradition, santeria, shamanism, Druids, Goddess worshippers and more. The book covers important topics such as child raising, living arrangements, sexuality (lots of that), music, and bereavement (death), as well as the more spiritual side of Paganism. The political engagement here is widespread, embracing anti-capitalist and anti-globalist activism, environmental action, and the like. The emphasis is on taking personal responsibility for one's life—essentially, anarchism boiled down to its roots. Many empowering and uplifting stories about non-ordinary people: Starhawk, Genesis P-Orridge, Diane di Prima, and others are featured, as well as comprehensive bibliographies and filmographies that allow the reader to delve deeper into the subject.

Search & Destroy, 7-11, the Complete Reprint: The Authoratative Guide to Punk Culture Vale, V
Re/Search 1889307009 / 9781889307008 Paperback
This is a reprinting of an amazing San Fransico 'zine from the late Seventies. There is incredible, otherwise unavailable coverage here of many obscure West Coast Punk groups, with helpful scene reports from around the US and the world, essays on early Punk culture and politics, and impressive artwork and photos. The interviews are unique and far from obvious, providing insights into the personalities (and record collections!) of many important musicians. Impressive interviews with Pere Ubu, Dev-o, and the Screamers, among many other groups. This book also provides a detailed look into the S.F. and L.A. Punk scenes (who partied where with whom and what happened). I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the wild west Coast Punk culture of the late Seventies.

ZINES! Volume One: Incendiary Interviews with Independent Publishers Vale, V
Re/Search 0965046907 / 9780965046909 Paperback
This is the first comprehensive guidebook to the Zine Movement of self-publishing which started anew in the early 1990s, and continues with Internet blogs and publications like Found. Used in college classes, this how-to volume covers all aspects of self-publishing, including layout and design, promotion, marketing and distribution. Historical background covers everything from Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack to the science-fiction mimeographed zines of the 20s. Zines are independent, not-for-profit publications that counter the corporate monoculture of mainstream media, and are thus instrumental in keeping the torch of liberty and freethinking burning. Some very funny stories and illustrations punctuate this alternative-culture document from the underground.
