The supreme godfathers of punk-face it, they were on their third album before the Sex Pistols even broke-are true American originals, and their sensational end-of-the-century juggernaut is chronicled as never before in this career-spanning collection. Reducing and scrambling multiple strains of early rock 'n' roll and pop into a signature chainsaw of sound, the Ramones' loud, fast, and hard legacy rocketed out of NYC's CBGB in the early '70s and changed the face of modern music. Johnny Ramone, before his 2004 passing, oversaw the compilation of this first-ever 3 CD Ramones blitzkrieg box for Rhino. Includes a bonus DVD 2005.

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.

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!

"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.
