Books and Authors

• Apocalypse Culture – This book is like a bible to me. Read Volume 2, more shocking than the first. Wondering if there will be a volume 3…
• Charles Bukowski: Locked in the Arms of a Crazy Life – The biography of Bukowski, author of Post Office, Women and Ham On Rye.
• Gonzo – A Hunter S Thompson Photobook
• Gonzo – The Life of Hunter S Thompson
• Paul Carter – wrote two fantastic books about working on Oil Rigs – Don’t Tell My Mum I Work On The Rigs, She Thinks I’m A Piano Player In A Whorehouse and This Is Not A Drill.
• Warren Ellis – author of my favourite series, Transmetropolitan.

Music

• Afrirampo – Weird, Japanese girl-punk duet that is all noise.
• Black Lung – Melbourne-based industrial musician that makes soundtracks for conspiracy movies that never existed.
• The Drones – Everett True said they were the saviours of Australian Rock. Probably the most accurate statement in the music industry I’ve heard in a long time.
• Monster Zoku Onsomb! – Brisbane-based group that is a mix of costumed characters, bizarro sounds and stage antics.
• Sigur Rós – An quartet from Iceland that bring you soundscapes that are dreamy, stirring, beautiful and powerful.
• Venetian Snares – Apparently this guy’s real name is Aaron Funk. You should listen to his music because it is not only a technical acheivement of complexity, but also because he’s highly underrated – especially for Rossz Csillag Alatt Született
