A Day in the Life of Rowland S Howard
In 1977 Peter Milne was 17 and the legendary Australian guitarist Rowland S Howard was 18. For several months they collaborated together on a number of photo sessions. Although many of the images taken in that period were lost or damaged, a number of remarkable photographs have survived and have been drawn together to form this book. Peter Milne writes in the introduction to the book: "I took up photography around this time and we began a busy period of experimental photo sessions during which I was learning to how to use cameras while Rowland was learning how to pose for them....The work is a patchy, scratched up document that shows visible signs of age and neglect but perhaps this is the one absolute inevitability of history and memory - it's always going to be fragmentary."
Things to Think About
Mr. Rowlands most famous and critically acclaimed book No More School (E. P. Dutton) literally launched the home-teaching movement. This collection of his essays will not just inform readers but also surprise and intrigue them. The topics range from politics, science, religion, technology, and music to economics, health, and sociology. And though his command of facts in each of these fields is admittedly not that of the specialist, the academic, or the reporter, what makes his views so riveting are the totally fresh perspective and unencumbered insights that he brings to these subjects.
King Ink Strolls Into Town
On a very hot weekend in 1981, The Birthday Party played in Adelaide (under their new name), it was also according to Mick Harvey the first time that Nick painted his chest. I was there and photographed two of the four nights they played (24-25th January 1981).The photographs are accompanied by anecdotes and memoirs from the audience, support bands, Mick Harvey, Phill Calvert and Robert Brokenmouth.
Boy on Fire
An intensely beautiful, profound and poetic biography of the formative years of the dark prince of rock 'n' roll, Boy on Fire is Nick Cave's creation story, a portrait of the artist first as a boy, then as a young man. A deeply insightful work which charts his family, friends, influences, milieu and, most of all, his music, it reveals how Nick Cave shaped himself into the extraordinary artist he would become. A powerful account of a singular, uncompromising artist, Boy on Fire is also a vivid and evocative rendering of a time and place, from the fast-running dark rivers and ghost gums of country-town Australia to the torn wallpaper, sticky carpet and manic energy of the nascent punk scene which hit staid 1970s Melbourne like an atom bomb. Boy on Fire is a stunning biographical achievement.

My Life as a White Trash Zombie
Angel Crawford is a loser. Living with her alcoholic deadbeat dad in the swamps of southern Louisiana, she's a high school dropout with a pill habit and a criminal record who's been fired from more crap jobs than she can count. Now on probation for a felony, it seems that Angel will never pull herself out of the downward spiral her life has taken. That is, until the day she wakes up in the ER after overdosing on painkillers. Angel remembers being in an horrible car crash, but she doesn't have a mark on her. To add to the weirdness, she receives an anonymous letter telling her there's a job waiting for her at the parish morgue--and that it's an offer she doesn't dare refuse. Before she knows it she's dealing with a huge crush on a certain hunky deputy and a brand new addiction: an overpowering craving for brains. Plus, her morgue is filling up with the victims of a serial killer who decapitates his prey--just when she's hungriest! Angel's going to have to grow up fast if she wants to keep this job and stay in one piece. Because if she doesn't, she's dead meat. Literally.
