Nikki Sixx - The Heroin Diaries artwork The Heroin Diaries
A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star
Nikki Sixx
Genre: Music
Price: $12.99
Publish Date: September 18, 2007
Publisher: MTV Books
Seller: Simon & Schuster Canada

In one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine, presented alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki himself. When Mötley Crüe was at the height of its fame, there wasn't any drug Nikki Sixx wouldn't do. He spent days -- sometimes alone, sometimes with other addicts, friends, and lovers -- in a coke and heroin-fueled daze. The highs were high, and Nikki's journal entries reveal some euphoria and joy. But the lows were lower, often ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions. Here, Nikki shares those diary entries -- some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre -- and reflects on that time. Joining him are Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Slash, Rick Nielsen, Bob Rock, and a host of ex-managers, ex-lovers, and more. Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and shockingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bottom -- and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start living again.



Peter Freestone - Freddie Mercury: An Intimate Memoir by the Man Who Knew Him Best artwork Freddie Mercury: An Intimate Memoir by the Man Who Knew Him Best
Peter Freestone
Genre: Music
Price: $14.99
Publish Date: October 14, 2010
Publisher: Music Sales
Seller: Music Sales Corp.

An intimate memoir of the flamboyant Queen singer by the man who knew him best. Peter Freestone was Freddie Mercury’s Personal Assistant for the last 12 years of his life. He lived with Mercury in London, Munich and New York, and he was with him when he died. In this book, the most intimate account of Mercury’s life ever written, he reveals the truth behind the scandalous rumours, the outrageous lifestyle and Mercury’s relationships with men, women and the other members of Queen. From the famous names – including Elton John, Kenny Everett, Elizabeth Taylor and Rod Stewart – to the shadowy army of lovers, fixers and hangers-on, Peter Freestone saw them all play their part in the tragi-comedy that was Freddie Mercury’s life. Freestone lived with Mercury in Europe and America for over a decade. From the East 50s apartment in New York to Kensington Lodge, the house in London where Mercury died – not to mention innumerable international hotel rooms and apartments in between – Freestone was always on hand to serve and protect the man he had first met in the Biba department store in the early 1970s. Then Queen was a largely unknown band. Soon it would be the most glitzy of glam rock bands. Freestone saw the fame arrive and with it the generosity, the excess, and the celebrity friends who came and went. “I was chief cook and bottle washer, waiter, butler, valet, secretary, amanuensis, cleaner, baby-sitter… and agony aunt,” he writes. “I shopped for him both at supermarkets and art markets, I travelled the world with him, I was with him at the highs and came through the lows with him. I saw the creative juices flow and I also saw the frustration when life wasn’t going well. I acted as his bodyguard when needed and in the end, of course, I was one of his nurses.” Freestone’s bet-selling account of a talented and extravagant star’s life and death is compelling, entertaining and ultimately, very touching. Illustrated with many photos from personal and Freestone’s own archives. Press Reviews: “An entertaining and thought provoking read” – PRS for Music Sales “This collection of Freddie’s own words is the closest thing there is to an autobiography of a man with no regrets. The foreword is written by his mother” – reFRESH magazine, Leading Gay mag in the UK

Eric Falardeau - Le corps souillé artwork Le corps souillé
Gore, pornographie et fluides corporels
Eric Falardeau
Genre: Movie
Price: $14.99
Publish Date: March 07, 2019
Publisher: Éditions de L'instant même
Seller: Diffusion Dimedia Inc.

L'essai Le corps souillé, d'Éric Falardeau, s'intéresse à deux genres cinématographiques souvent méprisés (le gore et la pornographie) et plus particulièrement à ce qui les unit : l'exhibitionnisme spectaculaire des fluides corporels, qui exprime selon lui un rapport trouble, voire haineux, au corps. Leur exposition, fétichisée par le gros plan, agit comme un révélateur de la relation ambiguë que le sujet, le spectateur ou son double cinématographique (les personnages auxquels il s'identifie ou non), entretient avec son enveloppe charnelle. Le corps souillé aborde différents enjeux (anthropologiques, sociologiques et psychologiques) à travers l'analyse de la représentation des fluides corporels. Objets de dégoût et de fascination, ils sont l'expression d'une angoisse existentielle que le gore et la pornographie nous obligent insidieusement à confronter.

Seller: Smashwords, Inc.

This book concerns itself with only recorded popular music. The definition of popular music is simple. It is the traditional characterization of any genre of music having wide appeal (but usually only for a short time), although I personally do not agree with idea of it being popular for only a short period of time. Another description is any form of music without classical structures. So that means many genres have been considered in putting this project together. From country to folk, big band to disco, rhythm and blues to hip hop, show tunes to television themes, rock to heavy metal, jazz to new wave and many categories in between - all of them have been a factor in American recorded popular music history therefore they were considered. This book contains what is arguably the greatest overall artists in the history of recorded popular music taking into consideration all the talents that have brought them to be described in this publication. It is a fascinating trip through the years that puts into perspective a genre of entertainment that has been a part of almost every person"s life. For a music lover, the book is a perfect trip to enhance their enjoyment of their favorite form of entertainment and for the casual music listener it is informative and quite interesting, .

"They've said some crazy things about me over the years. I mean, okay: 'He bit the head off a bat.' Yes. 'He bit the head off a dove.' Yes. But then you hear things like, 'Ozzy went to the show last night, but he wouldn't perform until he'd killed fifteen puppies . . .' Now me , kill fifteen puppies? I love puppies. I've got eighteen of the f**king things at home. I've killed a few cows in my time, mind you. And the chickens. I shot the chickens in my house that night. It haunts me, all this crazy stuff. Every day of my life has been an event. I took lethal combinations of booze and drugs for thirty f**king years. I survived a direct hit by a plane, suicidal overdoses, STDs. I've been accused of attempted murder. Then I almost died while riding over a bump on a quad bike at f**king two miles per hour. People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of sixty, which one of us would end up with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and Beverly Hills, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f**king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time. A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. I've always been drawn to the dark side, me. But I ain't the devil . I'm just John Osbourne: a working-class kid from Aston, who quit his job in the factory and went looking for a good time."
