Japanese, Japanoise, Rock, Noise, Boris, Merzbow, Southern Lord, Live; Limited Edition Double CD - EX Used condition
Rock Dream is not just the best album Boris ever made, but also one of the finest live albums you will ever hear. Rock Dream was recorded in Tokyo in 2006, one year after the band had just reached its peak in popularity with Pink. Masami Akita (Merzbow) adapts to the environment perfectly. For this one night he’s just the fourth member of Boris. Merzbow’s material has such an incredible presence on his records, but in a collaborative setting he consistently proves to be keenly aware in his supportive roles. Akita never makes a collaboration about him and works his waves of noise and scree to fit his partners. He adds layers of extra haze to the heavy openers “Feedbacker” and “Black Out,” but then focuses his instrument to make the razor edged rush of “Pink” and “Woman on the Screen” sound better than they do in the studio. His versatility becomes clear on Boris’ gentler and prettier tracks, “Rainbow,” and “Flower Sun Rain” (a PYG cover and later a highlight off of 2008’s uneven Smile). “Rainbow” is like a breath of fresh air after the three opening tracks. The song is built on its bass line and Wata’s gentle vocals, which were a rare treat back when “Rainbow” came out. Akita recognizes this and pulls back to allow the spaciousness to develop, creating subtle menacing textures and briefly swooping in with noise. When he adds his spacey laser sounds (trust me there’s not a better way to describe it) into the PYG cover it perfectly blends with the acid soaked bliss, and wisely stays in a supporting role even as the rest of the band builds the song into a massive climax.

True Crime, Violent, Nasty, Serial Killer, Panzram, Self Published, Disturbing; Paperback Book - New
This book collects and represents the confessional statements of convicted and executed American serial killer; Carl Panzram.

This provides insights into the mind of an unbound, destructive monster through a lens of nihilism. Ideal for Philosophy, Sociology and Criminal students to gain first hand knowledge of what makes some men do the things they do.The writing here contains a number of disturbing scenes and a large quantity of offensive language and racial slurs. They do not in any way represent the beliefs of the Author or Publisher of this book and are only retained to properly express the opinions and mindset of the original author, Carl Panzram in the social situations he existed within.
Snuff, Gore, Slasher, Uncut, Uncensored, Cult, Controversial; DVD (Euro Cult) - Ex Used condition
Touted as the film that sparked the urban legend of the "Snuff" film, Snuff (or American Cannibale, as the German version was called) is one of the most legendary Grindhouse efforts of the 70s, a low-budget gore flick directed by Michael and Roberta Findlay. Originally a mere slasher film called Slaughter, it quickly became controversial when the film's distributor, Alan Shackleton, added new scenes to the ending, supposedly showing a woman being murdered by the film crew of Slaughter. This is English language Uncut version.
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.
