Lee Ranaldo, Sonic Youth, Poetry, Prose, Grunge, Experimental, Diary: Paperback Book, 165 pages (2004) - New
Road Movies is poetry by the guitarist of the seminal punk (and beyond) band Sonic Youth, who paved the way for the explosion of Nirvana and punk on to the mainstream music scene in the early nineties. They are arguably the most influential rock band of the late 1980's, and are living legends today. Road Movies is the literary equivalent of the dark and noisy waters of Sonic Youth's early work. His words mirror the beauty that can be discerned in the band's emotive walls of noise. As the title suggests, large parts of the book are inspired by time spent on the road with Sonic Youth. His words evoke the strange suprises and almost out of body clarity that occurs during travel. Interspersed with grainy photographs of road side fireworks stands, cigarette machines, and tractor trailer wheels, the book recalls the everyday things that, when taken out of context, become absolutely extraordinairy. In this way he tells, in flashes reminescent of the absolute freedom attained in the literature of Kerouac and Bukowski, the story of one restless mind's journey across and through America.

Marquis De Sade, Taboo, Terror, Erotic, Torture, Extreme, Classic; Paperback Book - New
The name of the Marquis de Sade is synonymous with the blackest corners of the human soul, a byword for all that is foulest in human conduct. In his bleak, claustrophobic universe, there is no God, no morality, no human affection, and no hope. Power is given to the strong, and the strong are murderers, torturers, and tyrants. No quarter is given; compassion is the virtue of the weak. Yet Sade was a man of savage intelligence who carried the philosophy of the French Enlightenment to its logical extreme. His writings effectively release the individual from all social and moral constraint: for many, Sade is the Great Libertarian. The Victorians considered him `Divine' and Apollinaire called him `the freest spirit'; the Surrealists recognised him as a founding father, and he is a key figure in the history of modernism and post-modernism. With Freud and Marx, Sade has been one of the crucial shaping influences on this century, and reactions to him continue to be extreme. But he has always been more talked about than read. This selection of his early writings, some making their first appearance in this new translation, reveals the full range of Sade's sobering moods and considerable talents.
Satan, Devil, Historic, Occult, Religion; Paperback Book - New
Moses Hull was once a minister in his own right. Having lost faith, he joined the burgeoning spiritualist movement of the late 1800s and began preaching against the evils of the christian body. Pointing to many (sometimes humorous) anecdotes and tales of church oppression, Hull here ruminates on the superiority of Satan over god, the superiority of occult wisdom over the barbaric nature of the christian cult, and the wonders of then-modern scientific reality, so long spurned christians. It may be seen as part demonology, part Luciferian manifesto, and part philosophical counterpoint to the greed and envy of the christian movement.

Surreal, Breton, Magritte, Ernst, Art, Poetry, Games; (1991 reprint) Paperback - Ex Used condition (some writing inside front cover)
Surrealism is far more than an aged art movement: it is also a collection of tools for perceiving and representing the world in ways that transcend normative perspectives. This delightful collection allows everyone to enjoy firsthand the provocative methods used by the artists and poets of the Surrealist school to break through conventional thought and behavior to a deeper truth. Invented and played by such artists as André Breton, Rene Magritte, and Max Ernst, these gems still produce results ranging from the hilarious to the mysterious and profound. This great little book is packed with word and image games that surrealists developed to create their written and graphical art. If you have any spark of creativity, you are strongly encouraged to get this book to help loosen the holds of quotidian existence on your craft. And it makes a great book of activities for parties that you want to rise above petite bourgeois posturing.

Comedy, Satanic, Experimental, Mixtape, Counter Culture, Everything Is Terrible; DVD - New
The beauty in this insane bowl of VHS mashed potatoes is how, after 72 minutes, everything feels like it is exactly in the right place, and what a terrible terrible place that turns out to be. What makes EIT's TGS great is that it clearly relishes in the nihilist fringe of the culture-jammers. Nihilism, in these troubled, modern times, can be a wonderful thing and that's what we have here. That it makes a fool out of the leaders and followers behind "Satanic Panic" type movements/media is just gravy. Let The Great Satan wash over you.......
Japan, Shock, Gore, Blood, Infamous, Nasty, Erotic, Roughie, Disturbing; DVD - New Sealed
Two females seem to suffer from past traumas. Both commit blood-filled suicides with way more imaginary/graphic ways than just shotgun-to-mouth. There is no dialogs at all, porn-movie-like music plays on background while the girls are getting cut and so on. If you like blood, more blood, toothbrush, a fork, and japan shock, this is a must see. Low-grade, Japanese obscurity Women's Flesh: My Red Guts consists of two shot-on-video segments depicting grueling scenes of graphic self-mutilation, all designed to appear as gut-churningly real as possible: in the first, a woman chews off one of her fingers and chokes herself to death with a scarf; the woman in part two stabs herself in the leg with a fork, cuts open her belly, chows down on her guts, slices off her tongue, and eventually kills herself by thrusting the fork into her forehead. There's no plot to speak of and hardly any dialogue—just plenty of extremely bloody imagery designed to appease fans of ultra-violent, transgressive pseudo-snuff. This super-sick effort certainly has the right look and feel to it
Subgenius, Bob Dobbs, Counter-culture, Underground; Paperback Book (352 pages) - VG Used condition (some creases and folds)
The SubGeniuses, followers of a satiric pseudo-religion, worship J. R. ``Bob'' Dobbs, the grinning, pipe-smoking salesman who, according to their legend, performs miracles, has sex with a four-ton giant slug and preaches a doctrine of ``slack'' (not being too disciplined). The myths of the SubGenii generally provide a platform for irreverent comment on government and religion. But this ragged collection of stories, all based on ``church'' lore, is devoid of literary merit. Many entries read as if they were stream-of-consciousness exercises assigned to male adolescents on LSD. Laser guns, spaceships, drugs, scantily clad women (``girls'') and penises (sometimes multiple or gigantic) are the dominant images. Time travel, conspiracy theories and flashing lights also figure prominently. Recommended for hardcore SubGeniuses only.
Controversial, Masterpiece, Religious Fanatic, Brutal, Nasty, Banned, Uncensored; 2xDVD and booklet - Ex Used condition
A few movies are so controversial that the Movie industry does their best to kill them off (see Terry Gilliams' "Brazil"). Such was the case with "The Devils" First, to clear a few things up...this did NOT come from a play, nor was it a novel. It is based on Aldous Huxley's painstakingly researched religious history of the famous Loudun exorcisms during the time of Richelieu. Two years before 'The Exorcist' hits the screen, Ken Russell puts the Catholic Church in the spotlight by filming one of the most disturbing films of all times. Except from being a sheer technical and aesthetic masterpiece, 'The Devils' provokes as a film with its relentless sense of anarchy. Religious hysteria and illusions, the horror of human arrogance and depravity and the love that turns to cherishing that turns to hatred. It's hard to put it in words, one must simply watch it to understand the simple splendor of this film. This film was met with great controversy and opposition due to its contents and depictions of blasphemy. Cited by director Alex Cox and critic Mark Kermode as one of the ten greatest achievements in cinema of all time. This film is for open-minded viewers only...
