"From disenchanted Catholic schoolgirl and glam maniac to instigator on the 1980s hardcore punk scene, Nancy Barile discovered freedom at a time when punk music was new and dangerous. She made her place behind the boards and right in the front row as insurgents such as SSD, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag wrote new rules and made history. She survived punk riots and urban decay, ran the streets with outcasts, and ultimately found true love as she fought for fairness and found her purpose." "The old punk rock world was full of wanna-be contenders and straight up pretenders, and then there were those that you knew would rise above. Nancy was one of the latter -- she was there and solid and supportive, and over the years I've watched her take the grit of that old world and use it as a hammer to fashion this present place into a more livable space. I'm proud to say I know her." --Jack Grisham, T.S.O.L. Softcover edition; 192 heavily illustrated pages; Dimensions: 6″ x 9″ (150mm x 225mm); 2 lb. (.8 kg).

Subtitled: A Clandestine History of Sex, Thrillers, and Kicker Cinema. "A lavish and fiery 328pp retrospective of over 200 banned and cut films produced during the golden age of Swedish sin. 'I was born into a rising whirlwind of madness,' says author Daniel Ekeroth. 'As the '70s came along, all limits were forgotten. Sweden was flooded with sexually explicit and violent films of every kind, and all morals were gone.' Sweden's sexy reputation was sealed the moment Ulla Jacobsson bared her breasts for One Summer of Happiness in 1951, crushing the Hays Code and igniting a mad race to make sensationsfilms! Produced in the backyard of the Swedish film industry, these sexually daring films form a canon of countless movies dealing with shocking or taboo subjects: street punks, sadistic mobsters, space aliens, unruly housewives, ruthless drug pushers, bloodthirsty ninjas, teen temptresses, lingonberry cowboys, bearded perverts, and drunken vikings. Working far from the confines of Hollywood, the exploits of young director Ingmar Bergman, actress Christina Lindberg, ultra-villain Heinz Hopf, free-spirited Stellan Skarsgard, and American expats like Dennis Hopper, David Carradine, and Troy Donahue have spawned a legacy that inspired Stieg Larsson's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left, and Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. With dark humor and an eye for cultural quirks that will leave readers wondering whether these films are even real, Ekeroth paints the portrait of a national cinema run amok. Special sections include two historical overviews, a recollection by starlet Christina Lindberg, and a list of essential sensationsfilms, a rogue's gallery of directors and cast, and a hilarious guide to curious Swedish customs. Why does John Waters cite Ingmar Bergman as a role model? What are raggare, and why do they hate punk rockers? Can taking the name 'Marquis de Sade' really change a bachelor's luck with women instantly? Why won't France or Germany make films with Sweden anymore? Ekeroth reveals all...in Swedish Sensationsfilms." Soft cover; 6.5"x9"; list price: $19.95.

2022, fourth printing. "Touch And Go fanzine was the brainchild of Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson and was launched in Lansing, Michigan, in 1979. Major fanatics of the new punk happenings in the late '70s, TV and DS set out to chronicle, lambaste, ridicule, and heap praise on all they arbitrarily loved or hated in the music communities in the US and abroad. In laughably minuscule press runs by today's standards, T & G was made by guys within the Midwest scene strictly for the edification of scenesters and pals in other cities like DC, Philly, Boston, LA, SF, Chicago, et al. Inspired by magazines such as Slash and Search and Destroy and writers like Claude Bessy and Chris Desjardines, TV and DS pumped out seventeen naughty, irreverent issues together, and TV did another five solo. Magazines like Forced Exposure and Your Flesh, among others, soon fired up Xerox machines themselves, and the rest is history. So is the legendary independent record label launched from this zine, and so are the bands covered inside: Black Flag, Minor Threat, the Misfits, Negative Approach, the Fix, the Avengers, the Necros, Discharge, Iron Cross, Youth Brigade, Faith, Die Kreuzen, Crucifix, Poison Idea -- and all the other punks worth their weight in glorious black and white. Featuring new introductory essays by punk icons Tesco Vee (The Meatmen), Dave Stimson, Steve Miller (The Fix), Henry Rollins (S.O.A./Black Flag), Keith Morris (Black Flag/Circle Jerks), Peter Davis (Your Flesh), Henry Owings (Chunklet), Byron Coley (Forced Exposure), Corey Rusk (Necros/Touch and Go Records), John Brannon (Negative Approach), and Ian MacKaye (Teen Idles/Minor Threat). Exclusive early interviews with the Fix, Necros, Minor Threat, Youth Brigade, Iron Cross, Misfits, Negative Approach, JFA, Battalion of Saints, Crucifucks, 7 Seconds, Faith, the Effigies, the Minutemen, Scream, Die Kreuzen, Crucifix, Poison Idea, SSD, & others. 8.5"x 11"x1.25", 4lbs., 101% offensive joy!" 546 pages; list price: $39.95.

"Mellodrama, a documentary film by Dianna Dilworth, explores the rising and falling fortunes of the Chamberlin and its better-known successor, the Mellotron -- the first musical keyboards to play the pre-recorded sounds of other instruments. From a California workshop to Royal Albert Hall, Mellodrama tells the story of an ingenious contraption called the Mellotron. Essentially the first sampling instrument, its haunting sound changed the production and texture of popular music -- from the Beatles' 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and the Moody Blues' 'Nights in White Satin' to Radiohead's OK Computer and Kanye West's 'Gold Digger.' Featuring: Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys; Mike Pinder of the Moody Blues; Rod Argent of the Zombies; Ian McDonald of King Crimson; Patrick Moraz of Yes; Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick; Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath; Tony Banks of Genesis; Mikael Åkerfeldt/Per Wiberg of Opeth; Mitchell Froom of Latin Playboys; Claudio Simonetti of Goblin; Jesse Carmichael of Maroon 5; Brian Kehew of Moog Cookbook; Mattias Olsson of Änglagård; Pea Hicks of Optiganally Yours; Damon Fox/Steve Frothingham of Bigelf; Fabio Frizzi; Jon Brion; Michael Penn; Matthew Sweet; Woody Jackson; Zac Rae; Patrick Warren."
