I'm reading The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester. Also reading The Hydra, which is an old Shadow story by Walter Gibson.

Too bad there aren't many left. I met Mark Evans who works for Decibel last Sunday night when I saw Howl, Javelina
(he's their tour manager) and Bison B.C. He was a super cool guy to chat with.

Cool Nevermore!!!

There will always be at least a few rags left though ... for the diehards like us.

Lately - I've actually been getting into the UK mags. Metal Hammer, Classic Rock, etc.

Europeans are far more into the written metal word than Americans are. They are true metalheads over there.

Just read Charlotte Perkin Gilman's short story The Yellow Wallpaper for a class tomorrow. A great first wave feminist (subtle feminist that is) psychological gothic horror story. The way it was written kinda reminded me of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Same can be said for Rock N Roll too, I love Classic Rock its a good mag

Yeah, Classic Rock is cool. The only rock/metal mag worth reading imo. Too bad it's so damn expensive. An issue is like 8 euros here.

This month (well the latest issue I have) gave away Joe Perry's Have Guitar Will Travel gave it to a friend of mine since I already owned the CD

Really? Is that issue still on racks?

Eh, a little boring. Right now, he's just giving some background when he was a Jewish kid growing up in 1950's-era Yonkers. The Aerosmith years are still a few chapters away I think.

I have to be honest I looked forward to reading it, but after I finished it I felt Kramer was a whiney bastard and felt the book was a bit dull.

I fininshed Hit Hard over the weekend and yes, it was a bit boring and kinda whiney. Nothing really shocking or revealing about Joey or the band, especially if you're a long time fan. I suppose if you suffer from depression or some other mental disorders, it might be of interest to you. Not me though.

Yes it is MB, Joe Perry is the coverboy.

Raising the Bar - Dave Tate


The ramblings - some silly and some great - of one of the world's leading Powerlifting coaches, promoters, businessman, thinkers, and grade-A Bada$$.

Defeating Darwinism - Phillip E. Johnson

I am still reading 'The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich' by William L. Shirer, read 596 pages and I am still only half way thru the book.

I also started reading for something more (make that much much more)lighthearted I began reading 'Why AC/DC Matters' by Anthony Bozza

No new novels yet. Did get the new issue of Decibel magazine in the mail today.

I'm still reading the same book I was a few months back.

I'm a slow reader, but it's because I don't devote much time to it each day. I'm more of a movie/TV kinda guy.

Anyway - this is a great book on the history of non-metal rock music. Starts out with the glam rock phase of the early 70s - moves into punk, then the post-punk of the late 70s/early 80s ... then into alternative rock.

Leaving no stones unturned, even exploring goth, industrial, trance, electronica, etc.

It's a pretty heavy read though, clocking in at over 1,000 pages (I think).

some sci-fi lite reading: Robotech - The End of the Circle by Jack McKinney
