NO NECK BLUES BAND; The Math of Crack 7" (1995)
7" single (1995), Used
Critically considered to be one of NNCK's best early recordings, The Math of Crack/The Mouth of Gack 7" single from 1995 was released on the brilliant "New world of sound" label and hasn't ever recieved a re-issue. Certainly one for the psych/noise fans....
RON OF JAPAN; Ron of Japan S/T 7"
Limited Edition, Single sided 7" (1996) clear viny; , Used
1996 experimental / noise release from US duo 'Ron of Japan' featuring electronics, tapes and voice. This is limited to 500 copies, but apparently this edition, released in a clear sleeve, is limited to only 5 copies?? Not sure about that, but it is a rare item on "Wolf Eyes" founder Aaron Dilloway's - 'Hanson Records' label from 1996.
SMELL AND QUIM; Scum-Grief 7" flexi-disc (1989)
7" uncut flexi-disc (1989), Used
Flexi from 1989, an early one. Nasty stapled cover displaying a cock split in half. I expected the more crazy and wack S&Q, but this is closer in nature to their rather untypical and subdued second album, The Jissom Killers. Here Milovan and Paul sound like as if ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO were covering METGUMBNERBONE, or something. Demented flutes (or whatever it might be) wailing sadly to the steady beat of a distant kettle-drum, with various rattling sounds appearing along the way. Eerie lobotomized march music. Great sound too (for being a flexi that is).

2015 Superior Viaduct Record Store Day re-issue of The Germs legendary debut 7" single "Forming". Orginally released in 1977, 'Forming' is widely considered to be the first ever true LA punk record.

FAITH NO MORE; Super Hero 7"
7" Single (2015), New
‘Superhero’ is the first single proper from the 'Sol Invictus' record, and sports all the archetypes Faith No More became known for throughout the 80s and 90s. The pulverizing, hypnotic “Superhero” marries typically eerie keyboard work with razor sharp guitars, a gritty slog of a distorted bassline, and Mike Patton’s inimitable mixture of unearthly screeches and croons.
SMOKE 'EM IF YOU GOT 'EM; DVD
Special Edition DVD (1988), New
SMOKE ‘EM IF YOU GOT ‘EM is a long lost post-apocalyptic Aussie cult classic – a nuke and puke masterpiece for the post-punk crowd – set slap bang in the middle of Melbourne’s 80’s underground music scene. Starring Nique Needles (DOGS IN SPACE). In the smouldering devastation of post nuclear bomb-blasted Melbourne, a periscope protruding from a pile of rubble leads three desperate scavengers to a subterranean fall-out shelter. They muscle their way in, only to discover a raging party in a converted wine cellar, celebrating the Big Meltdown. There’s a band, booze, sex, drugs and a horde of sweat-soaked revellers partying like there is no tomorrow… which for these poor radiation-drenched end-of-the-worlders there isn’t. What choice do the scroungers have but to join in?
This special "Bong and Bang Cocktail" edition comes with over 3 hours of extra features including commentaries, interviews, music video’s short films and more…
THE GREASY STRANGLER; DVD
DVD (2016), New
The Los Angeles-set tale follows Ronnie, a man who runs a Disco Walking tour along with his browbeaten son, Brayden. When a sexy, alluring woman comes to take the tour, it begins a competition between father and son for her attentions. It also signals the appearance of an oily, slimy inhuman maniac who stalks the streets at night and strangles the innocent, soon dubbed 'The Greasy Strangler.' Be warned, this film is fucking weird and quite gross. And lots of gratuitous nudity. You will tell your mates about it. Watch it, you'll be glad you did.
Rated R: High impact themes, violence, sex, nudity and coarse language
BLOODLUST; DVD
DVD (1992), New
Three vampires wander the streets of Melbourne killing, screwing and taking drugs. They decide to carry out a heist, stealing three million and attracting the attention of various psychotics, who chase them through a blood spattered odyssey into the Melbourne underground. Think of early Peter Jackson ('Bad Taste') but even more inept and downright crazy. It's cheap, off-kilter exploitation involving buckets of ultra-violence, soft-core sex and maniac dialogues. The extras are fantastic. This movie has one of the best trailers you will ever see on a low budget horror film. In the US, a VHS tape bootlegger used to sell NTSC copies of this at horror shows in Chicago, right after this came out on tape in PAL. The dealer ran a trailer of this on a TV he had on his table. Apparently he sold out a whole box of tapes of 'Bloodlust' within minutes of the show opening, based just on the trailer.
RUN BITCH RUN!; DVD
DVD (2009), New
Catherine and Rebecca are two Catholic school girls going door-to-door selling religious paraphernalia in order to pay for their books and education. Things go horribly wrong when they knock on the wrong door in the wrong neighborhood. "Run! Bitch Run!" is a throwback to the classic rape and revenge films like The Last House on the Left and I spit on your Grave.
2011 Australian DVD release. Rated R: High impact sexual violence and violence
ABC'S OF DEATH 2; DVD
2 x DVD (2014), New
Like the first film, the sequel is divided into 26 individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free rein in choosing a word to create a story involving death. The varieties of death range from accidents to murders. The movie begins with a creepy stop-motion storybook that opens showing children doing a variety of fun activities that end up being very deadly (i.e. a jump rope slices a girl in half, children playing ball with a boy's head and a girl on a swing made from a boy's intestines). Throughout the film, a teacher with a skeleton face presents the titles to all the segments, with each of the segments ending and beginning with a focus on, or a fade into, the color black.
Here is an example: T is for Torture Porn (Jen and Sylvia Soska)
Yumi is being filmed by a group of misogynistic and abusive filmmakers. The men strip her down and prepare to film her, when one of them spots what they think is a penis. Yumi then reveals that she has tentacles where her clitoris should be and proceeds to kill the filmmakers.
Rated R: High impact horror themes, violence, sexual violence and nudity
ABC'S OF DEATH; DVD
DVD (2012), New
This totally wonderful comedy/horror anthology film is divided into 26 individual chapters, each envisioned by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free rein in choosing a word to create a story involving death. The varieties of death range from accidents to murders. The movie begins showing a close up of a funnel with blood pouring ominously from it. The blood proceeds to fill up various rooms inside of a house before filling up the interior of a small room containing children's letter blocks. The room floods as the blocks float to the top spelling out the title. Throughout the film, the blocks spell out the titles to all the segments with each of the segments ending and beginning with a focus on, or a fade into, the color red.
*Here is a hilarious example: F is for Fart (Noboru Iguchi)
School girl Yoshie is obsessed with her teacher Miss Yumi. One day while outside, a deadly gas breaks forth from the ground and kills anyone who inhales it. Yoshie and Yumi escape into a building where the former wishes to smell the latter's farts instead of the gas. Yumi farts in Yoshie's face and she is transported to a gas-filled dimension where she and Yumi make out.

NIGHTMARES IN RED, WHITE AND BLUE; DVD
DVD (2009), New
Nightmares in Red, White and Blue: The Evolution of the American Horror Film is a feature-length documentary based on the book of the same name by Joseph Maddrey. It examines the idea that horror films reflect the times and places in which they are made -- illustrating how classic monster movies exploited the anxieties of war-time generations, and how more savage modern horror films stem from the fallout of America's counterculture movement and the subsequent rise of increasingly conservative political forces. At the same time, the documentary explores the timeless, universal appeal of horror movies. In-depth interviews with many of the nation's greatest horror filmmakers reveal that the appeal of the genre is rooted not only in timely fears but in the spirit of rebellion -- a spirit that consistently defines American life, as well as many of its best horror filmmakers. Features exclusive interviews with legendary auteurs like John Carpenter, George A. Romero, Joe Dante, Larry Cohen, and Roger Corman, as well as film historian John Kenneth Muir and Fangoria editor Tony Timpone. Their observations are illustrated with clips from more than 150 films -- ranging from the classic Universal monster movies to the psychological horrors of film noir, from groundbreaking films like Night of the Living Dead, Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist and Jaws to contemporary slasher movies, Torture Porn and beyond. In short, it is the most comprehensive documentary on America's most durable and prolific film genre.
