Metal Meltdown (complete run)
From the suburbs of late 80s Baltimore comes.. Metal Meltdown! One of the only fanzine style tributes to the genre. Produced during a transition period in Metal there are interviews with Megadeth, Sepultura, Autopsy, Epedemic, gigs and demo reviews, photographs, notes from a sick mind, grizzly cartoons and more. A whole world in ten volumes. Scarce, and really quite brilliant, complete document of an overlooked genre and subculture.
Jon Savage - The Hacienda must be Built
Quite an incredible book, aside of the essays and texts from all involved the book is packed with photographs, most of which were never published anywhere else, on nights which were also often ignored at the time. From jazz dance crews to drags nights to the early baggy years it's all there!
Hal Fischer - Gay Semiotics
Cult classic. Superb book on the signifiers of homosexuality. Lots of pictures and diagrams of where handkerchiefs, earrings go, colour codings, keys. Archetypes i.e. leathermen, the urbane, cowboys, retro people, street queers in a variety of guises, military guys etc. Very brilliant! Cited in Parr/Badger vol.3 if that type of thing floats your boat, but really, as a book it's more than strong enough to stand on it's own 2 legs.
