    Fucked Up and Photocopied
    Raw, brazen and totally intense, Fucked Up + Photocopied is a collection of frenetic flyers produced for the American punk scene between 1977 and 1985. Many were created by the musiciansthemselves and demonstrate the emphasis within the punk scene on individuality and the manic urge of its members to create things new. Images were compiled out of whatever materialcould be found, often photocopied and, still warm, stapled to the nearest telephone pole to warn the world about next week's gig. One glance and you can sense the fury of live performancesby bands such as Black Flag, The Dead Kennedys and The Minutemen, and, through the subtext the reader is exposed to the psyche of a generation of musicians stripped bare: The Germs,J.F.A, NOFX, X, The Circle Jerks, Devo, The Exploited, The Screamers, The Cramps, The Dils, The Avengers and more.

    Finding Paddy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 79min
    Filmmaker Steve McCarthy explores the meaning of heroism by discovering the life of his friend, Captain Paddy Brown, New York's most decorated fireman who died on 9/11. McCarthy starts with Brown's incredible acts of heroism, saving people from flames, breathing life into fire victims. Eventually, McCarthy finds a more complicated subtext: Brown's childhood in an alcoholic home, his abuse by priests, his rape at age 13, his traumatic tour of duty as a Marine in Vietnam, his string of lovers. Paddy emerges as a classic hero, one profoundly flawed and driven to acts of bravery by complex motives, including a drive for penance, self-destruction, and the creation of his own legacy. Ultimately, Captain Brown seeks inner peace and in the course of that quest touches innumerable lives. At his moment of redemption, he climbs the stairs of the North Tower and dies comforting burn victims on an upper floor. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven McCarthy.

    Faces of Villain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 135min
    A hallucinatory and multifaceted novella, that uses rhyme and near rhyme, metaphor and surrealism to bring forth a story where each layer reveals an underlying tale of cognitive dissonance.  A melding of two juxtaposed stories, we first meet Jack Trade.Rejecting his late father’s desires for him to become a carpenter, Jack Trade becomes a thief instead. On more than one occasion, Trade is caught but always manages to escape. Although he is a thief, the townspeople grow to love him for his evasion of the law, even to his almost inevitable and inescapable end. In the second strand, John Teefer, a personification of Trade’s consciousness, wakes up on an island. Teefer is rescued by a reclusive old man and meets other characters; each one representing different personifications of Jack Trade. As the adventure proceeds, Teefer slowly discovers his true identity. With deep subtext, Faces of Villain allows the listener to further understand the characters’ mindscape by solving puzzles between chapters. ungekürzt.

    Kraftwerk's Computer World
    Kraftwerk's most concise and focused conceptual statement, Computer World, was also their most influential album, paving the way for a range of new musical styles and genres. This book explores the band's revolutionary sonic template, and their lyrical obsessions in detail. An analysis of the bands work reveals a unifying theme, overlooked by other writers, of movement and transition. While many remarked on the prevalence of travel within Kraftwerk's art: Autobahn (1974) - cars, Trans-Europe Express (1977) - trains, The Man- Machine (1978) - space, and Tour De France (1982) - bicycles, Francis contends that this is a surface manifestation of a deeper theoretical subtext in their work. Movement is really a reflection of the concept of transition, through time and space, from one physical, emotional, or existential state of being to another. The book explores transition, as expressed on Computer World, via theories of post-humanism, cybernetics and the anthropology of transnationalism.

    Spätvorstellung
    Alter schützt vor Jugend nicht Die brillante Feuilletonistin Jutta Voigt zeigt uns, was es heißt, jung zu bleiben, während man älter wird. Sie erzählt von der tröstlichen und schmerzhaften Identifikation mit der Jugend, die den Bogen des Lebens bis zum Zerreißen spannt. Berichtet wird "Aus dem Leben einer älteren Dame": "Wenn ich ein Café betrete, verstummt kein Gespräch, ist kein Auge auf mich gerichtet. Ich finde das in Ordnung. Ich habe es lange genug gehabt, das Strammstehen vor meinem Dekolleté, die Hab-Acht-Stellung beim Klacken meiner hohen Absätze, das ehrfürchtige Verstummen vor einem Lächeln." Es geht um eine Frau, die ihre Waschmaschine mehr liebt als ihren Mann. Um einen Striptease am Totenbett. Und um einen, der seine junge Geliebte für eine Gleichaltrige verlässt, weil sie denselben Subtext in der Seele hat. Die Spätvorstellung einer Generation, der die ewige Jugend zur Pflicht geworden ist."Ein starkes Buch und so schön offensiv. Das ist der Humor, den man zum Weiteraltern braucht!" Dieter Hildebrandt

    Gefühlswegweiser und Komponiermaschine
    Die nach langer Entstehungszeit 1919 uraufgeführte Oper Die Frau ohne Schatten wurde von Hugo von Hofmannsthal und Richard Strauss von vornherein als gemeinsames Hauptwerk konzipiert und von Strauss bis zuletzt als ein Gipfelpunkt der Operngeschichte apostrophiert - stets in einem Atemzug mit Wagners Götterdämmerung. Allgemein auf die Aufbietung aller musikalischen Mittel gemünzt, bezieht sich der Vergleich mit dem Schlussstein der Ring-Tetralogie konkret auch auf die extreme Dichte des motivischen Geflechts. Dieses Charakteristikum hat die Rezeption der Frau ohne Schatten stets dominiert, zugleich aber auch polemischen Widerhall auf sich gezogen, am prominentesten und pointiertesten wohl in Theodor W. Adornos Wort von der »Komponiermaschine« Strauss. Anhand der umfangreichen Skizzenüberlieferung zur Frau ohne Schatten lässt sich der semantische Subtext des Motivgeflechts im Gegenlicht der Bedingungen der Werkentstehung betrachten, eines Schaffensprozesses nämlich, der einerseitsunverkennbar auf die Stringenz zentraler motivisch-thematischer Prozesse abzielt, sich andererseits aber immer wieder auch durch eine staunenswerte Pragmatik im Umgang mit der musikalischen Substanz auszeichnet.

    Words of Rain: A Book of Poetry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
    Words can be like drops of rain on the soul, a life giving force. Rain replenishes the earth as our days are challenged by drought... James Coburn shares with you his first published volume of poetry in "Words of Rain", a collection of poems of the inner spirit in touch with the universal self that transcends the struggle of life. Written out of a need for self discovery, Coburn celebrates the beauty of life's journey, but also explores the value of relationships, whether it be self revelation through the loss of a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or the blessing of friendship. In contrast, "Oklahoma Lynching" reveals man's inhumanity through injustice. Coburn's early memories of desegregation are as a young boy riding a school bus in Oklahoma City. This collection of Words of Rain looks to the horizon of possibilities, giving dimension to the subtext of life. It is a testament of hope evident in the delicacy of a flower or in the peaceful contemplation found when walking across a rural country bridge. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Coburn.

    Eagle Days: A Marine Legal/Infantry Officer in Vietnam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 332min
    Much has been written about America's war in Vietnam, and an enduring and troubling subtext is the composition of the body of soldiers that made up the US troop deployment: from the initially well-trained and disciplined group of largely elite units that served in the mid-sixties to what has been termed an "armed mob" by the end of that decade and into the early 1970s. Drug use, insubordination, racial antagonism that often became violent, theft and black market dealing, and even "fragging" (murder of officers and senior noncoms by disgruntled troops) marred the record of the US military presence. Don Griffis served in twin roles. He was a legal officer, charged at various times with the task of both defending and prosecuting servicemen. At the same time he led combat patrols in "search and destroy" missions against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese enemy. Eagle Days is a remarkable account of Griffis' personal record of experiencing what the military should do best-meet, engage, and defeat the enemy-and what it becomes when esprit de corps, discipline, and a sense of purpose decay. ungekürzt.
