Constantini's style is sometimes reminiscent of stained glass, or collage, or even photorealism.

The Assault on Culture: Utopian Currents From Lettrisme to Class War Stewart Home AK Press $13.00 Any book that can range from the French avant garde to ExtremeUs favorite wannabe revolutionaries canUt be all wrong. ItUs actually quite the good read, this collection of essay-like bits on Bauhaus, the SI, punk, mail art etc. "An A-1 fake book for intellectual hipsters like Extreme 1" Q Exogirl. Best of Biff Chris Garratt/Mick Kidd Impact Books $10.00 Extremely funny Brit comic that parodies those godawful romance comics that all us girlz remember so unfondly.

With lengthy (and very interesting) interviews that cover three decades of working and living the radical life in Britain. The Festival of Plagiarism Stewart Home $5.50 Home is a proponent of the artistUs version of Rsampling.S An account of several plagiarized-art shows, plus theory. Funny and interesting.

There are pop-art elements as well that add another dimension to his work. HR Giger ARh+ Taschen $9.99 All in English. A excellent - and very inexpensive - retrospective of Giger's work, with a book-length interview. If you thought the sets for Alien were awesome you will love this. Jeanloup Sieff Taschen $9.99 Like Helmut Newton, Sieff's black-and-white images walk the tightrope between fetish and fashion. Sieff's photos have a kinder, healthier, non-misogynist focus, however. Jeanloup Sieff Posterbook Taschen $8.99 These classy, frameable prints of black-and-white photos by Sieff would add something to any underdecorated room. Jeux de Dames Cruelles 1850-1960 Serge Nazarieff Taschen $9.99 Lots of silly spanking photos, certainly a find for the aficionado, and poster designers, those looking for cool stuff to scan for a collage or screen saver design etc. will doubtless enjoy these. Some very artistic shots, from French postcards to Irving Klaw. Jeff Koons Taschen $19.99 A retrospective of Koons' work. One of the post-modern art scene's more oddball and interesting denizens, Koons has used everything from bourgeois banality to photos and sculptures that in another context would be considered pornographic. (Since he's married to Italian porn star Cicciolina, these are interesting as more than "fine art," we might add... ) Lots of humor, both in the art and in the accompanying text. Jeff Koons postcard book Taschen $4.99 A smaller Koons retrospective, from the silly to the sublime, on 30 postcards that you can mail to friends or enemies, depending on what you think of his stuff. Joel-Peter Witkin: Forty Photographs SF Museum of Modern Art $20.00 Culled mostly from Witkin's 85/86 exhibition, this is the least expensive collection of his photos currently available. These are dark, disturbing tableaux-like arrangements that combine live (and occasionally dead) models with animal parts, religious icons and collage-like elements. Witkin is one of the art world's biggest jerks, but his work is undeniably interesting and compelling. Neoist Manifestos/The Art Strike Papers Stewart Home AK Press $13.00 One of the UKUs more dashing cultural terrorists, speaking about RartS now that the strike is over. DidnUt know there was an art strike? Read this to find out why. The Neoist stuff is groovy too: Rwe affirm that we are content to just go through the motions.S An art credo we at Extreme can buy!

Text in Japanese (but don't let that stop you), imagines Axis takeover of US. Disturbing. Same guy who did Dr. ArashiUs Amazing Freak Show. Pierre et Gilles Taschen $9.99 Their artwork is hard to describe. Some of this two-man team's influences are Catholic kitsch, Hindu kitsch, Soviet realism and surrealism, with a strong of homo-eroticism meets 3-D postcards meets the Thunderbolts and old kids' shows from the 1960's. For example, Boy George was their model for Shiva. Sexy Dreams Taschen $9.99 A collection of artistic modern pin-ups in a variety of styles, from science-fiction/fantasy to cyberpunk to more traditional. The subjects are all lovely and come in all races, some with tattoos, various cute outfits etc. Contributions from many different artists, including Olivia and a number of Japanese erotica specialists. Tom of Finland Taschen $9.99 Bargain price for a nice set of Tom's homoerotic art. Not the same as the "retrospective" collection, although there is considerable overlap.

Just be aware that you might experience trouble sending these through the postal service. Tom of Finland Posterbook Taschen $8.99 Six 31 x 44 cm posters, suitable for framing. Cover is a sexy Santa Claus Q maybe this would make a good Xmas gift for someone you know?

Includes chronology, illustrations, extensive bibliography. Visual Addiction: The Art of Robert Williams Last Gasp $21.95 I have to admit to liking WilliamsU titles better than his art, but I know that nearly all my buds think his stuff is great. Williams mixes all-American elements like pin-up girls, tattoo art, influences from Big Daddy Roth, advertising and collage to come up with an original strange brew. Illos in both black and white and color. Wild Wheels Harrod Blank Pomegranate Press $25.00 If you loved the movie (or didn't get to see it), you'll really love this book. Great shots and stories about wacky "art cars" created by both "folk" and "serious" artists. Coffeetable quality. The Unknown Deserter: Nine Drawings by Clifford Harper Working Press $4.00 A story in pictures of a British deserter executed in WWI. A good little book. Uwe Ommer Taschen $9.99 Ommer is a German fashion and art photographer with a fascination for gorgeous, exotic girls. These color shots are mostly nudes, of the loveliest African, Asian and European women. Every image is infused with humor and joy, a nice change from the typical pouty and vaguely threatening stuff that's seen in, say, certain ads for jeans or perfume. MUSIC THAT MATTERS Black Words on White Paper: Clock DVA Contempo International $20.00 Complete with a CD of unreleased industrial meanderings, this small, sealed book looks like essential reading and looking for fans.

Songs include "TV Suicide" and "Hi Tech Cities" - book (which is sealed) surely contains some good, weird stuff on this influential band. Rhythmajik: Practical Uses of Number, Rhythm and Sound Z'ev Temple Press $17.95 Equal parts magic book and music book. Z'ev's work is usually categorized as "industrial," although the underlying framework that uses is anything but. This volume lays out his methods for linking sounds with alchemical, astrological, magical and mathematical equivalents to create compositions that he believes are powerful on more than one level. Sonic Life: Inside Sonic Youth Materiali Sonori Exports $17.40 Bilingual biography, interviews, photos, complete discography and lyric sheets from this New York-based cult favorite.With a bonus 7" single of unreleased music.

Not even Devo (although the comparison could be made). This fairly thick book includes everything from album art to interviews with The Masked Ones themselves. (See also Art, REsearch and other sections.) LITERATURE & OTHER STUFF Extreme1 thinks that maybe in this section you might be browsing by favorite author, so we arranged it differently. Hope you don't mind. J.G. Ballard War Fever $3.99 Short stories in a speculative fiction vein, with the usual Ballard surrealism, humor and apocalyptic subject matter.

Buzz Callaway Specimen Tank Manic d Press $9.95 A kinda sick story about a couple of losers who end up as drug-test subjects in New Jersey.

Note: avoid if you're prone to seizures. Brion Gysin Morocco Two Inkblot Publications $6.00 Apparently a film script for a dramatic and funny film set in exotic locales.. Richard Hell Artifact: Notebooks from Hell 1974-80 Hanuman Books $6.00 Richard Hell was Exogirl's most-lusted-after punk rocker of the 70s, with his brooding eyes, gorgeous lips, tight black jeans (pant pant pant). Plus he wrote great poetry, and put it to rockin' music. This teeny tiny book is jam-packed with stuff that reads like diary entries from a troubled and brilliant boy. Drugs, sex, NY punk scene insider tidbits, and well-written to boot. Stewart Home Pure Mania Polygon $20.00 This is the closest thing to punk/skinhead pulp you can find (at least until Exogirl finishes her novelI). Vegan nazis and anarchists run amok in London's East End, lotsa sex and violence. It's an import, hence the price, but you'll like it so much you'll want to share it with a friend. We promise! Herbert Huncke Guilty Of Everything Hanuman 6.00 A great little book by the street hustler who gave Bill Burroughs his first taste. Huncke retells those great stories about New York in the forties and fifties. Yeah, he was a junkie who ripped off his friends , but fuck, that's what junkies do, he at least is amusing about it. G.X. Jupiter-Larsen Raw Zed & the Condor Bloodprint Press $10.00 An experimental novel that has a very stream-of-wigged-out-consciousness feel to it. Having to do with motorcycles and highways. James Kelman Some Recent Attacks: Essays Cultural & Political AK Press $9.00 Opinions from the noted (young) Scottish novelist on English elitism, bullshit Rfine arts,S human rights and holding onto a sense of place. The Brits are shocked over his use of profanities and street language.

Tres macabre: everything from the joys of maggots to shark sex. Jon Longhi Bricks and Anchors Manic D Press $7.00 Stories, rather strange ones. Very short, most of them. Mixing subjects from personal narrative, all a bit stream of consciousness. Character sketches, unfinished fragments. Lydia Lunch Incriminating Evidence Last Gasp $12.95 Since the gal never shuts up, itUs surprising that La Lunch still has anything left to say. Lots of rants, printed in capital letters just so you get the point. Also some sexy photos and some kinda creepy illustrations by Kristian Hoffman. And what seems to be transcripts of conversations. Sometimes Lydia is tiresome and sometimes her stuff is compelling. Thom Metzger Drowning in Fire Signet $5.50 No, not THAT Metzger Q this one is a sci fi/horror writer. In this volume, he tries his hand at hard-boiled crime fiction, and it ain't bad. Two young adults come to terms with the legacy of their mobster father, and it doesn't look like the good guys necessarily win out in this thriller. Thom Metzger Shock Totem A strange child protagonist makes this medical thriller all the more interesting. As his powers grow he becoming deadly, feared and hunted. Looks like good reading. John G.H. Oakes, editor In the Realm of the Unreal: Insane Writings Four Walls Eight Windows $12.95 Extreme1 loves this Rwonderfully happyS anthology of short works by people who have been committed. Plus 16 pages of Adolf Wolffi, cool crazy artist guy. Most of the writers are unknown Qgreat in spots. Rollins Art to Choke Hearts & Pissing in the Gene Pool 2.13.61 $15.00 If you havenUt seen Henry Rollins do his spoken-word thing (or if you have and loved it) this book is a good substitute. Even includes some erotic interludes. Sensitive stuff from the guy who cold-cocked an ex-bfriend of ExogirlUs for saying hello some years ago . We are amazed. I guess his oversized neck isnUt the only muscle heUs been developing. Amy Scholder and Ira Silverberg, editors High Risk: An Anthology of Forbidden Writings Plume Books $10.00 All your faves are represented, from Burroughs to Mary Gaitskill. Subjects include S&M, prostitution, drug use, transsexuality and everything else that ainUt sugar & spice. Good stuff, one of the better short story collections out. Benjamin Zephaniah Inna Liverpool AK Press $3.50 Poetry in patois from a rastaman in Liverpool. The rhythm is like reggae, these could be song lyrics but theyUre free verse. Fun to read, also t hought-provoking. Reminiscent of Linton Kwesi Johnson. TZINEAGE Alternative one, all who can't read the multitude of great mags out there cover-to-cover will appreciate this. Answer Me #3 $3.50 "It's the best damn fanzine that ever existed on this shithole of a planet. PERIOD. If you ain't read it, beg, borrow, dare I say steal the fucking rag, or better yet buy it from us. It doesn't pull any punches Q hell, I'd say it adds a few." Q Extreme1. Cyber-Psycho's A.O.D. $4.00 The editor goes to some lengths to say this isn't a cyberpunk zine, but it does have some of that edge flavor to it. Band interviews with Pigface, Crash Worship and others of that ilk, a Nick Zedd interview, some fiction, and a set of rather warped "pain trading cards." Draculina #15 $3.75 I guess you could all this a scream queen fanzine - it's obviously done by someone fascinated with the girls seen in gore movies, especially those sexy Vampirella types. Lots of video reviews, too. Full size, with a color cover a la Cinefantastique. The Excluded Middle #2 $3.50 All sorts of weird (and I do mean weird) U.F.O. shit . Future Sex I3 $4.95 If you donUt hang out in porn shops, you probably havenUt seen this glossy mag. The RpictorialsS are more of the usual, but the articles at least attempt to be interesting. The original idea was to cater to those with a technology fetish, and some of that does carry though, with stories this ish on pornware, virtual sex, and related subjects. Has promise. We know the producers and feel safe in saying that photos weren't coerced (any more than your daily work at a crappy job was.) Gauntlet: No. 5 (Porn in the USA issue) $9.95 A thick journal on modern culture. This issue includes articles exploring Rpornography,S its meaning, detractors and participants. Viewpoints from Annie Sprinkle to Phyllis Schlafly. Girl Frenzy #3 $3.50 Fun, feminist, magazine-size Brit zine. Much better than most US "riot grrrl" shit, because it's written by women with brains. Great comix, too. Intervention 20 (LeftRight) 10.00 Australia's version of Semiotext(e), this is mostly about deconstructionism, post-modernism etc. A must-have for Semiotext(e) readers."I give this zine-book two thumbs up" Q Extreme1. Intervention 21/22 (Flesh) 10.00 This issue's theme centers around the concept of the body and its role in this "post-modern" age of ours. Jack Ruby Slippers 2.0' $5.00 Subtitled "A journal of cultural resource management," this nicely constructed magazine combines somewhat academic essays with humor. Everything from an illustrated guide to condom use to a most fascinating interview with a thief who specializes in burgling corporations.

PC format, looks good! Includes graphics and animation. Nozone #4 $5.00 Utopia/Dystopia issue, with graphic contributions from David Goldin, Johnathan Royce and others. Interesting format and design. "Reminds me a bit of Pulp." Q Exogirl. Primal Chaos #7 $3.00 An industrial zine that this issue features a too-brief interview with San Francisco expatriate Z'ev, now living in Europe and some laudatory articles on de Sade, Odinism, Satanism and other stuff that's useful to scare your parents with. Portable Lower East Side V. 8 #1: Live Sex Acts $7.00 A magazine/mini-book with contributions from several of New York's finest, including Richard Hell, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Annie Sprinkle and Herbert Huncke. The accent, obviously, is on sex. Vivienne Maricevic's series of interviews with porn performers is especially interesting and revealing (and not just in the obvious way.) Public #7 $15.00 The theme is "Sacred Technology," and featured items include everything from a Foucault essay to an investigation of the sociopolitical implications of ultrasound scans in pregnancy. More a book than a magazine, with interesting photoillustrations. Publicsfear #2 $6.50 The New York emergency room stories were my favorite part of this nicely designed magazine. But there's quite a lot more, with a range from Madonna to Australian psychodrama to French philosophy. Presence #3 $14.00 That probably seems like a lot for a magazine, but I doubt that this info is available elsewhere (plus, it's 380 pages long and perfect-bound!). Presence covers the virtual reality world, from the perspective of those working in this new area. This issue's focus is "simulator sickness," apparently a fly in the VR ointment. A bit scientific-journal-like, but very interesting. Steamshovel Press #6 $4.00 A wild and wooly conspiracy mag. This issue has info on the JFK/LSD connection, links between the RUFO coverupS and, believe it or not, the INSLAW affair, more... Steamshovel Press #7 $4.00 The latest issue of this redoubtable conspiracy magazine. Printed on newsprint but chock full oU nuts, just like a good sundae.
