FEARED JAMAICAN VOODO POSSE/MOVE REAL FAST

FJVP plays a good kind of grind without the metal influences and they also cover a Dropdead song which is also my favorite from Dropdead. There are no song titles just giving us noise while Move Real Fast plays a snotty kind of hardcore reminiscent to Rich Kids On LSD and old D.R.I. And their song titles are a sentence long.

STAMANECH 6.40

What I've got here is an old demo tape from Australia's hardcore/grind pride. They've existed during the mid 90's. Five songs and plus some kind of an industrial mix. Also a song dedicated to Sabu (a wrestler) worshiping him as the lord of hardcores.  You can't go wrong with that.

UNABOMBER: On The Trail Of America's Most Wanted Serial Killer BY JOHN DOUGLAS AND MARK OLSHAKER

This book is about the 18 years hunt for notorious terrorist and serial killer Theodore J. Kaczynski who was very elusive. Included also in here the Unabomber manifesto written by him and it shows how nihilistic he was. He wants to burn the world down. 

TRUE CRIME THROUGH HISTORY EDITED BY RICHARD GLYN JONES

This is a compiled true crimes from 1800's to 1980's. An overwhelming 586 pages of collected stories of murder seeking the twisted minds of all the killers. Murder is indeed a part of us and there's nothing we can do about it.

BOOKSALE

When I am in Shoe Mart usually the shop I am going to besides the record bar  it is always the Booksale. All the magazines and books I have I just bought in here. I can spend an hour in here just browsing the magazine and book section trying to find a worthy reading material. I just like this shop. Photo stolen in spot.ph

THE LAST MAFIOSO BY OVID DEMARIS

Another book I've got from Booksale. I am always mesmerized to the world of Mafia. Not that I am in favor of what they are doing but they're the most sophisticated organized crime syndicate to emerge in America. I get to know about the Mafia when I watched the Godfather trilogy after watching it I was already hooked. This book is about the account of Jimmy "The Weasel" Fratianno who reveals all the Mafia life. There are photos of different members and a photo of Frank Sinatra flanked by Carlo Gambino et. al. There is also a part in here that expose the connection of CIA and the Mafia. This is very informative all the things you want to know about them it is in this book.

KGB: THE SECRET WORK OF SOVIET SECRET AGENTS BY JOHN BARRON

I am posting a book that I've just finished reading but please don't think I am an intelligent person in fact I don't consider myself intelligent. I bought this in Booksale for 35pesos and I immediately grab it as I am always fascinated when it comes to this kind of thing. I think the title of the book is self explanatory. It's all about the espionage and clandestine operation of the Russians to destroy other countries. All names of known Russian agents were revealed in this book. All of the accounts in here happened during the 60's and 70's but they were all scary.

BLISS TAPES

Here are three tapes from Bliss Tape Label. The two compilation have indie rock and indie pop bands while the Kennedy tape is very reminiscent to The Smiths so it means it is jangly pop kind of thing. Again for info here is the website: http://www.blissaquamarine.net/

 

NIXON B. OLBES

It's been two years now since the death of our dear friend Nixon. I was really devastated at that time when I first heard this bad news from Banjo and I was also in the process of healing my broken heart so I was really down. From time to time we always share our fond memories about him. This is my eulogy to him. It took me a while to gather the enough courage to do this but here it is some pictures taken when we visited his tomb. For one last time rest in peace brother! 

LIL' LION TAPES

Another batch of indie tapes this time from Lil' Lion Records.This is indie pop at its best. Most stuffs are female fronted which is a winner for me. I have a soft spot when it comes to female vocalist especially in this genre. The music in here is very catchy and it is easy to listen with. I don't know if Lil' Lion is still operating for info check out the site: http://www.indiepages.com/lion/
