Minus Times Magazine #29
"Putting the "Great" back in Depression, the latest The Minus Times is a 72-page double issue starring DAVE EGGERS, SAM LIPSYTE and DAVID BERMAN. Issue #29 draws a bead on the pimp and protector of America's imagination: Hollywood. Featuring confessions from screenwriter D.V. DEVINCENTIS (High Fidelity, Grosse Pointe Blank) and director HARMONY KORINE (Gummo, Julian Donkey-Boy) along with a crew of talented extras, The Minus Times subverts and celebrates this billion-dollar dreamworld that we rent by the hour. An open casting call brought in a cross-section of American talent: rock & rollers SAM BEAM, WILL OLDHAM, COLIN GAGON, NEIL MICHAEL HAGERTY; artists HARRISON HAYNES, HOPE GANGLOFF, FOREST JUZIUK, and STEVE KEENE; cartoonist and animator BRAD NEELY; filmmakers KATHY EGAN and ANDREW POPE." Edited by Charleston's own, Hunter Kennedy. Word.

Beat Surrender:
Camera Obscura My Maudlin Career CD (LP delayed)
"On the title track of Camera Obscura's fourth album, My Maudlin Career, Tracyanne Campbell sings, "This maudlin career has come to an end/ I don't want to be sad again." As usual, she's being sincerely ironic. Camera Obscura fans will be pleased to know that she's still turning out maudlin torch songs with apparent ease. It is a record of the most immoderate sentiment: Thirty seconds in, on "French Navy", you've already got a dusty library, a French sailor, and the moon on the silvery lake. By the second track, "The Sweetest Thing", Campbell's ready to trade her mother for a compliment from a certain someone. She might not want to be sad again, but judging from the kind of tangled romantic assignations she confesses to here? Album number five already lurks in the inevitable fallout." ~ Pitchfork 8.3 "Best New Music"

New Books:
ANDY WARHOL: "GIANT" SIZE (HARDCOVER)
"A spectacular visual biography of the life and career of one of the most colourful and innovative artists of the twentieth century. Phaidon was granted unprecedented access to public and private archives and collections to collect this staggering quantity and array of material: a rare, behind- the- scenes look at the New York art world of the 1950s to the 1980s. With rare or unseen pictures of the New York glitterati over three decades along with receipts, letters, documents, family snaps, press cuttings and more, there is no better insight to the man beneath the wig. Introduction by renegade art critic Dave Hickey, who has his own cult following, and additional texts by Bruno Bischofberger, Ronnie Cutrone, David Dalton, Kenneth Goldsmith, Ivan Karp and Peggy Phelan. A must- have for Warhol fans and any pop culture enthusiast, it is now accessible to all, in this slightly smaller (but still quite massive) edition, and at this amazing new price. 8 3/4" by 11 3/8", 1400 color illustrations, 600 b&w illustrations."
LOST CONSTELLATIONS: THE ART OF TARA MCPHERSON, VOL. 2
"...compelling road map to the artist's most recent and ambitious journeys in paint, pencil, and sculpture. Tara and her work have been featured in numerous publications and websites, including Vanity Fair, Elle, The New York Observer, Juxtapoz, and Bust. Foreword by Tim Biskup. Hardcover, color."
RUSSIAN CRIMINAL TATTOO ENCYCLOPAEDIA VOL. 3 (HARDCOVER)
"This final volume of previously unpublished drawings and photographs completes the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia trilogy. Danzig Baldaev's unparallelled ethnographic achievement, documenting more than 3,000 tattoo drawings, was made during a lifetime working as a prison guard. His recording of this esoteric world was reported to the KGB, who unexpectedly supported him, realizing the importance of being able to establish facts about convicts by reading the images on their bodies. The motifs depicted represent the uncensored lives of the criminal classes, ranging from violence and pornography to politics and alcohol."
AND THE HIPPOS WERE BOILED IN THEIR TANKS (HARDCOVER)
"The legendary unpublished collaboration between William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac: a hard-boiled crime novel about a shocking murder at the dawn of the Beat Generation. Written when the writers were far from famous, And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks is an incomparable artifact from the early days of the Beats, a fascinating piece of American literary history, and a remarkable window into the personal lives of two hugely influential writers at the very beginning of their careers. It is also an engaging novel, a hypnotic descent into lust and obsession, drugs and alcohol, art and outsized dreams."
PUNK ROCK FUN TIME ACTIVITY BOOK
"Aye Jay, creator of the Gangsta Rap Coloring Book and the Heavy Metal Fun Time Activity Book, takes on punk with mosh- worthy results. This activity book will challenge kids and adults alike with word searches and drawing games, or just sharpen your crayons and color legends of punk's past and present! Help Siouxsie Sioux apply her makeup. Draw Henry Rollins' tattoos. Color in the members of Green Day, etc."
