CHRIS MARKER La Jetée / Sans Soleil (The Criterion Collection); DVD + Book
Criterion Collection/Short Film/Sci-fi/Art/Experimental/Documentary DVD + Book (Used)
One of the most influential; radical science-fiction films ever made and a mind-bending free-form travelogue: LA JETEE and SANS SOLEIL couldn't seem more different, but they're the twin pillars of an unparalleled and uncompromising career in cinema. A filmmaker; poet; novelist; photographer; editor; and now videographer and digital multimedia artist; Chris Marker (A Grin Without a Cat) has been challenging moviegoers; philosophers; and himself for years with his investigations of time; memory; and the rapid advancement of life on this planet. These two films tell a tale of time travel told in still images and a journey to Africa and Japan remain his best-loved and most widely seen. What Chris Marker does in the forty minutes or so of La Jetee is so astonishing that it's astonishing. Using only still frames (save for one shot) to tell his story, the film somehow manages to make us understand the characters, the dilemmas, and the story itself is just so unique and has been ripped off so many times by lesser talents - it's one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made and if you've never seen it you really are missing out. The transfer here is fine and I really recommend first watching it in French with subtitles and then in English, as both narrations have their pluses. Includes 46 page booklet.
ONESTO DIESEL (Graffiti) 2008 Brazil; Hardcover (Rare as shit!)
150 pages (Brazil) 1st Edition Graffiti/Street Art/Hip Hop/Culture Hardcover, Used (Ex)
The artist known as Onesto is a key player in Brazilian graffiti history. Influenced by hip hop movies from the 80's and comic books, at an early age it was clear for him how to express himself: by painting. As his work grew, he became known all over the world and was invited to a number of museums exhibitions and art events. His work captures the essence of the street lifestyle in Brazil, and as an artist he always has something to say. Combining his love for the fantasy and the mystic aspects of drawing with his passion for the streets, it is easy to understand why Onesto occupies such an important space on Brazilian graffiti history, that´s still being written.

THE HIP HOP WARS: What We Talk About When We Talk About Hip Hop (2008), Paperback
Hip Hop/Rap/Gangsta/Race Paperback, Used
For years, the most commercially successful hip hop has become increasingly saturated with caricatures of black gangstas, thugs, pimps, and hos. This both represents and feeds a problem in black American culture. Or does it? In The Hip-Hop Wars, Rose explores the most crucial issues underlying the polarized claims on each side of the debate: Does hip hop cause violence, or merely reflect a violent ghetto culture? Is hip hop sexist, or are its detractors simply anti-sex? Does the portrayal of black culture in hip hop undermine black advancement? "The Hip Hop Wars is Crisis of the Negro Intellectual for the new millennium. Tricia Rose's take on hip hop is smart, provocative, analytical, and gutsy
PABLO'S EYE You love Chinese food (1995) Extreme Music; CD
Ambient/Electronic/Experimental/Avantgarde CD, Used
'You love Chinese food' was given a worldwide release through the Australian label 'Extreme' home to such artists as Muslimgauze, Merzbow, Paul Schütze and many more #4th World explorers. 'You love Chinese food' is full of ambient soundscapes. Casual rhythms leave huge holes which offer refuge to voices, violins, guitar mutations blended with space dub and fractured trip beats as well as spoken-word stories. A masterly example of compositon which is linear, evocative and moving in every sense. With this album Pablo's Eye had set their own standard.
LIQUID LIQUID Slip in and out of phenomenon (2008); CD
No-Wave/Dance Punk/Post Punk/Avant Funk CD, Used
Domino Records released this comprehensive retrospective of legendary New Yorkers, Liquid Liquid. The output of the percussive four-piece might be tiny, but the band’s influence on modern punk-funk has been huge. For a taste of Liquid Liquid, check the 1983 video for ‘Cavern’, the bassline of which will be familiar to Grandmaster Flash fans - it was sampled for ‘White Lines (Don't Do It)’, a borrowing which later became subject to a expensive lawsuit (Liquid Liquid lost, a decision which partially led to the demise of the band in 1984). The CD compiles all three of Liquid Liquid’s original 99 Records EP's with ten previously unreleased bonus tracks. All tracks have been digitally remastered, and the artwork is designed by band member Richard McGuire.
