Japanese excitement machine BUDDHADATTA announce their debut full length vinyl LP "Buddha & Devadatta".
This ultra-limited edition studio album pulls together songs that have been worked up over live tours in Australia, Taiwan, Japan and now studio recorded for Buddhadatta's debut full length vinyl LP.
If you have seen Buddhadatta on stage you will have become accustomed to their reverence for Buddhism via their attire and the topics of their songs, inspired by practising, throat-singing Buddhist monk / band leader, Vogli Bonze. Bass player Seiko engages almost the entirety of the audience with constant eye contact as she swathes her samurai bass. Drummer Takami, sits up back: cool, calm holding the strong beat that he has perfected from his years in legendary Japanese underground bands.
Dig in and enjoy, there's no one else like Buddhadatta!
Perfect Sound Forever is an engaging profile of the band Pavement and their quirkily dark, melodic sound and cryptic, mirth-filled lyrics. This book is super rare!

"The Black Cat" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. It was first published in the August 19, 1843, edition of The Saturday Evening Post. It is a study of the psychology of guilt, often paired in analysis with Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart". In both, a murderer carefully conceals his crime and believes himself unassailable, but eventually breaks down and reveals himself, impelled by a nagging reminder of his guilt.
