Grind core

"Now I've never been to an authentic Grindhouse like they had back in the day and have never seen any of the movies from the period apart from some Bruce Lee and Blaxploitation films. I've been to a horror movie festival so I am familiar with the sensation of watching these movies back to back and I have to say I loved it. So disappointed have I been that we are being denied the Grindhouse cinematic experience (Not even on Region 1 DVD) that I have been trying to re-create the experience in my living room over the past few Sundays by picking double bills of exploitation/cult fare that I have seen. I have to admit its yielded mixed results. Below are a few of the double-bill combinations I have tried and recommend. Others on this list I have not tried as I don't own the movie or its not currently available, I can only dream at this stage..... If you really want to enhance the experience then find some old trailers from Youtube or Veoh and watch them between these movies. Some of these also work better with beer........ or erm...... other stimulants...... so maybe mix it up a bit and invite some pals round to indulge in cinema extremis with you. Also if you can find these films on VHS that's probably the way to go as DVD seems a bit too pristine to mimic the bad quality prints that you would get in an authentic grindhouse."

HORROR SLEAZE TRASH

Two years in the making, Ben John Smith's second hard cover collection of poetry, and predecessor to Air a Boire, is finally here, and ready to be flogged! Featuring the extremely brilliant composition work and inlay design of German trash artist THS (www.ths.nu).

My horrible typos and silly word slinging has been painstakingly edited by my good friend and fellow writer for HST, Ian Shearer; with special thanks to Mike Daily for being such a dude. This is not the collection of artists featured in HST over the past few months, this is a book i started long before the HST was even thought about.

108 pages; 6" x 9", jacket-hardcover binding, cream interior paper (50# weight), black and white interior ink, white exterior paper (100# weight), full-color exterior ink. Jacket Wrap and gold embossing on cloth spine.

While i have tried to keep the price as absolutely low as possible (I'm making about 1 dollar from each book) i know it's still scrapped in a little steep but with out pissing in my pocket - it really is worth the money spent, not only for my poetry but for the entire feel and complete package only a hard cover like this can embody.

Obviously for adults only, i am very pleased to send this sucker out into the world and hope for a wide reception of feedback in any form, from any one! Please DO NOT buy this book if you are easily offended, have any shred of respect for me at all, don't want to hear stories about my penis, fear you may be exposed in one of these poems, are a family member of mine of D'Arnes,if you drink soy latte's or enjoy poetry about flowers and rivers. Any one else, please check it out with a grain of salt and a giggle and i thank you in advance for your support and on going communication.

Lets all get pissed and say silly things!
