Deluxe 20th anniversary hardback edition; 8 ½ x 11", 212 pages, printed on glossy art paper. Includes a brand new 2009 interview with Raelyn Gallina. "First published 20 years ago, Modern Primitives is still called 'the Bible of the tattooing-piercing underground.' Here is a celebratory reprinting, complete with a new introduction by original editor/publisher V. Vale. Also added is a new community section, where current practitioners have been invited to have their cards displayed. Modern Primitives was the first book to investigate not only the 'how' but also the 'why' of body modification practices. It reaches far back into history to multiform cultural traditions to illuminate one of today's most wide-spread youth culture visual signifiers. Heavily illustrated with detailed, contemporary photographs, as well as archival anthropological images and drawings of ancient tattoo traditions, Modern Primitives was ground-zero for today's body-modification trends." Also includes articles by Wes Christensen and David Levi Strauss and interviews with Genesis & Paula P-Orridge, Monte Cazazza, Anton LaVey, Heather McDonald, Jim Ward and more.

...Critical Perspectives on Sexuality and Pornography in Science and Social Fiction. "Taking up where the successful first part of the Arse Elektronika book series left off, this anthology stands under the motto 'future' -- and the ways in which the present sees itself reflected in it. Maintaining a broadened perspective on technical development and technology while also putting special emphasis on its social implementation, this anthology focuses on Science and Social Fiction. The genre of the 'fantastic' is especially well suited to the investigation of the touchy area of sexuality and pornography: actual and assumed developments are frequently depicted positively and approvingly, but just as often with dystopian admonishment. Here the classic, and continuingly valid, themes of modernism represent a clear link between the two aspects: questions of science, research and technologization are of interest, as is the complex surrounding urbanism, artificiality and control (or the loss of control). Depictions of the future, irregardless of the form they take, always address the present as well. Imaginations of the fantastic and the nightmarish give rise to a thematic overlapping of the exotic, the alienating and, of course, the pornographic/sexual as well. Featuring essays and stories by Rudy Rucker, Richard Kadrey, James Tiptree, Jr., Allen Stein, Sharing is Sexy, Jason Brown, Cory Doctorow, Annalee Newitz, Tina Lorenz, Reesa Brown, Karin Harrasser, Isaac Leung, Rose White, Mela Mikes, Viviane, Susan Mernit, Chris Noessel, Kit O'Connell, Jens Ohlig, Bonni Rambatan, Thomas Roche, Bonnie Ruberg, Mae Saslaw, Violet Blue, Nathan Shedroff, 23N!, Benjamin Cowden, Johannes Grenzfurthner, Daniel Fabry. Edited by Johannes Grenzfurthner, Gunther Friesinger, Daniel Fabry, Thomas Ballhausen. Published by RE/Search Publications (San Francisco) in cooperation with monochrom." 261 pages, 10" x 8", soft cover.

...Black Rock City's Alternative Newspaper. "A hilarious, tell-it-like-it-is collection of thirteen years of Black Rock City's alternative newspaper, Piss Clear, which was published by Adrian Roberts on the playa as Burning Man unfolded each year. For mature audiences! 320 pages of alkali-dust-storm-infused advice and wit re: sex, drugs, survival, performance art and social anarchy. Reading this book is the next best thing to actually attending Burning Man, and for those who have attended, this book is guaranteed to stir up compelling memories. A Burner wrote the below: 'Do you all know about Piss Clear, the Burner zine, that was around for 13 years? It's been called 'the Vice Magazine of the playa' -- sharp and funny with an alternative view of Black Rock City. Now, RE/Search Publications has published Burning Man Live, which has the best of all 13 years (1994-2007), including 'Best of Black Rock City,' 'Sex and Drugs,' 'Playa Fashion Do's and Don'ts,' 'You Know You're a Burner When?' 'Borg Wars,' interviews with Larry Harvey (Burning Man cofounder) and Harley DuBois (Director of Community Services), and introductions by Brian Doherty, Adrian Roberts, and Malderor. This book is 320 pages, and HUGE (8.5 by 11 inches) of pure Burning Man history -- highly recommended -- with really great articles and photos.'"

"Technology's development (Photography, Cinema, The Internet) is often pushed ahead and funded by pornography. This book explores that connection. A collection of essays and transcribed presentations from monochrom's Arse Electronika conference in San Francisco in 2007. Another 'edgy' compendium from RE/Search, synthesizing for your pleasure future societal conceptual border-crossings. Be ahead of your time and read/contemplate/savor futuristic ideas, before the mainstream corporate culture machine waters/dumbs them down into mere consumable style and image. The porno effect accompanies every new technological development. Immediately after producing his famous bible, Gutenberg used his press to print erotica. Photography was utilized just as quickly. And so the technological advances continue." Contents include: A Brief History of Cultural Genitals; Introducing Cyberorgasm - Utopia, Eschatology and Apocalypse of the Fucking Machine; and Your Grandmother's Vibrator. Edited by Johannes Grenzfurthner, Gunther Friesinger and Daniel Fabry. 196 pages, softcover, 8 x 10 inches.

20 minute DVD. "San Francisco, March 21, 1978. In the intense, original punk rock scene at the Mabuhay Gardens (the only club in town which would allow it), the Avengers, Dils, Mutants, Sleepers, and UXA played a benefit for striking Kentucky coal miners ('Punks Against Oppression!'), raising $3,300. The check was actually mailed and received. One of the only surviving 16 mm color documents of this short-lived era. The filmmaker was Mindaugis Bagdon, a member of Search & Destroy, the publication which chronicled and catalyzed the punk rock 'youth culture' rebellion of the late '70s."
