Contracultura i Art

  • Fire and Flames was the first comprehensive study of the German autonomous movement ever published. Released in 1990, it reached its fifth edition by 1997, with the legendary German Konkret journal concluding that “the movement had produced its own classic.
  • This unique volume envisions black metal as always already open, inclusive, and unlimited: a musical genre whose vital spirit of total antagonism rebels against the forces of political conservatism.
  • Jóvenes libres contra su propia historia, contra el destino gris burócrata que algunos habían diseñado. Libres hasta el punto de llegar al extremo de una autodestrucción desesperada, vía speed o vía heroína.
  • <p>Fierce and funny, this memoir in essay and song is full of wonderful tales of art and protest. Leon Rosselson's <em>Where Are the Elephants?</em> is a rare behind-the-scenes look at the life and times of one of England's foremost songwriters. This clear-eyed portrait of a creative activist who never gave up and whose talent, wit, and verve brought the world into finer focus provides a model for a whole new generation of radicals.</p> <p>Filled with glimpses of the stories and events that inspired his songs, Rosselson&rsquo;s story of becoming a modern troubadour up against the barricades is a tale for the ages. The book concludes with an intimate and wide-ranging interview by Rosselson&rsquo;s longtime friend and collaborator Robb Johnson.</p>
  • <p>With his blue mohawk and ragged leather jacket, Alex Damage fits into only a small pocket of 1981 Los Angeles: the dynamic, changing punk scene. In this world, he survives on favors and reputation as a small-time private investigator, but when a young woman hires him to solve the potential murder of the singer of one of his favorite local bands, everything in his life amps up.</p> <p>As he digs deeper into what really happened, Alex must both seek out and dodge an endless array of dangerously powerful drug dealers, aging porn stars, crooked cops, neo-Nazi skinheads, and shadowy, corrupt politicians. The deeper he gets&mdash;and the more punishment his body takes and the more he begins to fall for the woman who hired him&mdash;the more determined he becomes to follow the trail to its conclusion. In the end, the truth is far more complicated than Alex had thought: not only about the murder and the victim&rsquo;s unsavory private life but also about Alex&rsquo;s own past behaviors and attitudes.</p> <p>Meticulously researched and drawing from memoirs, zines, and documentaries, Alex Damage&rsquo;s story comes to life with real hangouts and shows from LA in 1981, which makes the book immersive for the people who were there as well as those who wish they could have been.</p>

    <p><em>Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution: An Oral History</em> is the very first comprehensive overview of a movement that defied both the music underground and the LGBT mainstream community. Through exclusive interviews with protagonists like Bruce LaBruce, G.B. Jones, Jayne County, Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, film director and author John Waters, Lynn Breedlove of Tribe 8, Jon Ginoli of Pansy Division, and many more, alongside a treasure trove of never-before-seen photographs and reprinted zines from the time, <em>Queercore </em>traces the history of a scene originally &ldquo;fabricated&rdquo; in the bedrooms and coffee shops of Toronto and San Francisco by a few young, queer punks to its emergence as a relevant and real revolution.</p> <p><em>Queercore </em>is a down-to-details firsthand account of the movement explored by the people that lived it&mdash;from punk&rsquo;s early queer elements, to the moment that Toronto kids decided they needed to create a scene that didn&rsquo;t exist, to Pansy Division's infiltration of the mainstream, and the emergence of riot grrrl&mdash;as well as the clothes, zines, art, film, and music that made this movement an exciting middle finger to complacent gay and straight society.</p> <p><em>Queercore </em>will stand as both a testament to radically gay politics and culture and an important reference for those who wish to better understand this explosive movement.</p>
  • <p>Formed in Wiltshire, England, in 1980, the Subhumans are rightly held in high regard as one of the best punk rock bands to ever hail from the UK.

Bolstered with hundreds of flyers and exclusive photos, it&rsquo;s the definitive account of the much-loved band.</p>
