LA VIDA LOCA; DVD (2008)
DVD (2008)
The fearless photographer and documentary-maker Christian Poveda submerges himself into central America, into the underbelly of society. He managed to get permission from the Salvadorian police and one of the gangs, the "18", to follow them in their lives. Four years later, La Vida Loca sees the light, taking you along the path of violent outcasts of society. And it is very different to what you might imagine. The documentary takes us from the unfolding of someone's life to their funeral after a shooting. It is an endless spiral of gang violence, with seemingly no point to the gang war whatsoever, other than that of having an enemy to unite them. Joining a gang is not even an alternative employer for the poor, as the gang does not offer any external symbols of success (wealth, privilege, whatever). In fact, the gang does not seem to offer anything at all but the prospect of death, jail or invalidity. Hardly the attractive option, but these youths are already broken by their lives. And change becomes inevitable with the gang tattoos (voluntary or forced) marking their allegiance. Once you are have your face covered in tattoos, you can no longer send your CV anywhere. They can not back down. After the films release, filmmaker Christian Poveda was killed by gang members who appeared in the film, who claimed that he was a police informer.
SAVAGE MAN, SAVAGE BEAST; DVD
DVD (1975), New
Savage Man Savage Beast, is a 1975 'Mondo' documentary film co-produced, and co-directed by Antonio Climati and Mario Mora. Filmed all around the world, its central theme focuses on hunting and the interaction between man and animal. Like many mondo films, the filmmakers claim to document real, bizarre and violent behavior and customs. This was the first film of Climati's and Morra's Savage Trilogy, which also includes "This Violent World" and "Sweet and Savage". Arguably the most infamous film of the trilogy, Savage Man Savage Beast became influential in exploitation cinema by use of cinematographic techniques that were repeated in numerous subsequent Mondo films. Two scenes in particular, a lion attack on a tourist in Namibia and the murder of an indigenous man by a group of mercenaries in South America, have gained notoriety as genuine footage of human death.
This film is new and sealed, well presented bootleg on no official label.

ZOMBY; Gasp!
12" EP (2017), New
On GASP!, Zomby provokes us yet again with straightforward techno, though it's not without its eccentricities. GASP! still retains the aloof flamboyance that's become Zomby's calling card—even if that aloofness can sometimes resemble laziness.

THE BIG SOUNDS OF THE DRAGS; LP
LP (1963), Used
This LP is an audio document of Drag racing in the 60's and it's the best shit ever......
A 26-minute feast for the ears for fans of early 1960s drag racing, The Big Sounds of the Drags was produced by Jim Economides and featured quarter-mile passes captured by professional recording equipment. Side one of this album begins with a condensed history of drag racing. The titled sections of the LP are introduced by the narrator. For instance, the explanation of "Stock Cars" is followed by the sound of stockers blazing down the strip, interspersed with actual tower announcements from each race. The same treatment was then given to the "Roadsters." Side two is from the 1962 Winternationals at Pomona, California, with lots of passes and track announcements. Narration is minimal, but "Elimination" is introduced. A showdown between famed racers Jack Chrisman and Tom McEwen is also featured in this section, along with others.

HUGO RACE AND THE TRUE SPIRIT; Rue Morgue Blues
LP (1987), Used
Rue Morgue Blues is a perfect title for the tenebrous kind of Gothic blues Hugo Race performs on his debut album. But among the many that play Gothic rock Hugo Race occupies a special place – he’s on the avant-garde top of this high and bleak crag. And every song is a tiara shining with its own unique jewels. Saxophone opening “Rue Morgue Blues” is magnanimously fabulous and the song itself is no less than public flagellation. Murky, industrialised gothic blues a deeper shade of dark than anything The Bad Seeds ever quite managed. Music to hide bodies to.
