I need to get some Burroughs, Maybe 'Ham on Rye' by Buk, hmm, or maybe something more representative of his 'total output'. Lustmord looks interesting, in a morbid curiosity kinda way.
Chasing the Dragon, Odes to Hafiz, Wreckers of Civilisation (!!!), etc.
Too many to name and I'm still 'investigating' some unknowns.
The Friends of Eddie Coyle? Wow. Sounds good.
Very cool.
Hey, I'll kick myself later if I don't ask this.
I owned this book, about 15 years ago, and haven't been able to remember the title or find out anything about it since. Maybe you could help? It's kinda in the realm of RE/Search, Industrial Culture, Boyd Rice, Tiki, Space Pop, type stuff. It's a coffee table book, wide, lots of pics, no more than an inch thick prolly. Maybe 200 pages.
And the defining thing of this otherwise forgettable (apparently) book was that it sort of divided up the new alternative-pop culture, at the time (late 90s) into darker, negative stuff and light, weird, poppy stuff. Like the main point of the book was an exploration of the weird, poppy, DIY, music/art/movies/etc of the time.
Like, they compared and contrasted NIN to TMBG.
That sort of thing. But, it had loads and loads of examples of weirdo, sorta DIY, intelligent, funky, subversive ...but emotionally positive culture.
I've never seen anything like it. Before or since.
Anyways, it's a shot in the dark, I know, but if you've heard of that book please let me know.
I've been looking for it for it about 15 years now...seems like something that maybe....
maybe you've heard of.
Anyways, nice collection.
