Another Kind Of Role Models



Role Models seems to be a little bit of an "out of date" concept in a world where nobody has any or rather where everyone has the same ! But John Waters makes you wanna remember those people you admired, those characters that made you wanna be something else, those strangers that pushed you into another path. With this collection of essays about his idols, dead or alive, John Waters gets back in time and shares what he thinks made him what and where he is now. It's fresh and fun, sometimes wicked and witty but always with a note of deep sincerity that could bring a little tear up to your eye.

NO - NON - Boyd Rice


An 112 page new-classic of blunt realities, social composition and discourse. NO dissects 45 deceptive affairs including Rebellion, The Sexes, Individuality, Equality, Peace, The Nazis, and Keeping It Real, all brought to light in a fashion that only Boyd Rice can. If past written collections of his work serve as time-capsuled history, let NO be the words of the future.

Seattle Style - The Grunge Book










More than a decade after his death, alienated, awkward, heavily eye-lined Kurt Cobain continues to sit front and center in the arena of popular culture, as the subject of books, music, fashion, gossip, and inspiration for major motion pictures and documentaries. Together with flannelsporting, music-obsessed communities emerging (in the late 1980s and early 1990s) from the chilly Pacific Northwest, Nirvana, Sound Garden, and Pearl Jam changed the scene with wild aggressive sounds and truly alternative records.
Author Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth)—who introduced Kurt Cobain to David Geffen (Geffen Records), a meeting that resulted in Nirvana’s first major debut, Nevermind, in September 1991, which by December was selling 400,000 copies a week—writes about the discovery of Seattle punk youth, the seminal bands that defined the movement, the exploitation of the subculture, and the backlash of grunge, as well as the death of his longtime collaborator and intimate Cobain.
