& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Limited Edition Red Vinyl! Features Songs & quot;The Time Warp & quot; and & quot;Sweet Transvestite! & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Reissue of the original soundtrack to the 1975 cult film and Halloween staple starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Meat Loaf. Reached #49 on Billboard pop charts in 1978. The film has grossed over $130 million at the box office since its initial release. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;For the 1975 film version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, American producer Lou Adler wisely mixed the best of the London and Los Angeles stage versions, shooting the movie in England with Tim Curry and several of the other original cast members, plus Meatloaf (years before Bat Out of Hell), and Americans Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as the innocent couple Brad and Janet. Adler also brought back original London stage musicians in place of the slick studio musicians who had marred the L.A. cast album. The film version resequenced the songs and reassigned some of the vocals, with Brad's song & quot;Once in a While & quot; dropped. But it all worked out fine. The strings that were added to ballads like & quot;Science Fiction/Double Feature & quot; only improved them; the rockers rocked out; Bostwick and Sarandon proved to be the best Brad and Janet ever; the original cast members, especially Curry, reveled in the opportunity to immortalize their portrayals; and Rocky Horror's potential as a witty parody of cheap movies, rock & amp; roll, and sexual mores was fully realized. The film soundtrack album became the definitive version of the score, despite lacking the songs & quot;Planet Shmanet Janet & quot; and & quot;The Sword of Damocles. & quot; The Rocky Horror Picture Show was not successful in its initial theatrical run, but then a strange thing happened. In 1976, the Waverly Theater in New York's Greenwich Village began showing the film at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Soon, a cult of repeat viewers began turning up every week; they began to dress like the characters, call out their own comments at strategic moments, sing along, and add their own theatrical effects. The phenomenon spread across the U.S., with fans rivaling Trekkies and Deadheads for loyalty and eccentricity, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show took on a life Richard O'Brien never could have anticipated. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - William Ruhlmann, Rovi & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Limited Edition Red Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Shudder with the music from THE BAD SEED. Legendary tunes like & quot;The Phantom Of The Opera & quot;. Or PSYCHO. There is no sound more formative and fundamental to horror-movie scintillation than the screeching strings in the shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's & quot;Psycho & quot; composed by Bernard Herrmann. Those strings, forcibly played, seemingly sounding in an alien frequency, have freaked people out ever since. There are the soundtracks from the 1960s like & quot;Little Shop Of Horrors & quot; and & quot;The Return Of Dracula & quot;. The final track is for & quot;I Bury The Living & quot;, praised for its & quot;dark, moody cinematography & quot;, & quot;sometimes striking if sparse visual design & quot; and & quot;ominous music & quot;. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; 180g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Clear & amp; Solid Orange Mixed Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Original soundtrack recordings & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Remastered & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Import & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Made in the E.U. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

Number of Pages: 288Genre: Biography + AutobiographySub-Genre: MusicFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Random House TradeAge Range: AdultAuthor: Liz PhairLanguage: English Book Synopsis The two-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter behind the groundbreaking album Exile in Guyville traces her life and career in a genre-bending memoir in stories about the pivotal moments that haunt her. "Honest, original and absolutely remarkable."--NPR (Best Books of the Year)When Liz Phair shook things up with her musical debut, Exile in Guyville--making her as much a cultural figure as a feminist pioneer and rock star--her raw candor, uncompromising authenticity, and deft storytelling inspired a legion of critics, songwriters, musicians, and fans alike. Now, like a Gen X Patti Smith, Liz Phair reflects on the path she has taken in these piercing essays that reveal the indelible memories that have stayed with her. For Phair, horror is in the eye of the beholder--in the often unrecognized universal experiences of daily pain, guilt, and fear that make up our humanity. Illuminating despair with hope and consolation, tempering it all with her signature wit, Horror Stories is immersive, taking readers inside the most intimate junctures of Phair's life, from facing her own bad behavior and the repercussions of betraying her fundamental values, to watching her beloved grandmother inevitably fade, to undergoing the beauty of childbirth while being hit up for an autograph by the anesthesiologist. Horror Stories is a literary accomplishment that reads like the confessions of a friend. It gathers up all of our isolated shames and draws them out into the light, uniting us in our shared imperfection, our uncertainty and our cowardice, smashing the stigma of not being in control. But most importantly, the uncompromising precision and candor of Horror Stories transforms these deeply personal experiences into tales about each and every one of us. Review Quotes "Honest, original and absolutely remarkable . . . elegant but unpretentious writing . . . There are so many things to admire about Horror Stories, it's hard to list them all. It's a memoir with an original and fascinating structure. [Phair] mostly avoids writing about her own songs, and while this may seem to be an odd choice, it's actually quite refreshing--her music, she seems to indicate, can speak for itself."--NPR "[A] uniquely thoughtful, self-aware memoir . . . bracing and refreshing . . . Horror Stories is more an archipelago of intense episodes of unknowing with the implicit understanding that life is a wayward, unresolvable business. . . . [A] rigorously open exploration of negative capability."--The New York Times "Like a batch of interrelated Phair songs, each chapter a separate and specific story, all together accumulating into an intimate self-portrait . . . with equal parts elegance, humor, and authenticity."--The Boston Globe "Liz Phair's songwriting has always had the rare quality of being short-story-like. Damn good short stories, too. Horror Stories has that unique Liz Phair ability to make you look at something you'd rather not, but once you do you're glad you did--like any form of honest art. This is why Liz Phair still is, and always will be, a threat."--Ben Folds "Horror Stories cracks open the idea of fear itself to see what's inside. Liz Phair's stories are heartbreaking and inspiring, galvanizing and contemplative. This memoir is as much about the poignant luminosity of the subjects upon which Phair fixes her gaze as it is about the darkness she shows us. Witnessing her examine the moments that have stayed with her over the years is captivating: a literary triumph by a musical icon."--Lily Brooks-Dalton, author of Good Morning, Midnight "Horror Stories is a collection of turning points, plucked free of ongoing time and their original settings. Gathered, they sparkle eerily, expanding to occupy an entire remembered year--maybe even an entire remembered self."--Sarah Manguso, author of Ongoingness: The End of a Diary "Liz Phair's Horror Stories is a deeply personal narrative about a groundbreaking musician's intense love affair with life, with all its turbulent highs and lows. It is also about those things that have sustained Phair since childhood: the wonder and healing power of nature, music, and family. A compelling blend of riveting prose and soaring lyricism, Horror Stories is as enthralling and as addictive as Phair's music."--Mira Bartók, New York Times bestselling author of The Memory Palace, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award "A debut memoir as candid as her music . . . This powerful debut will delight Phair's many fans."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) About the Author Liz Phair is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter whose debut album, Exile in Guyville, has been hailed as a landmark of indie rock. She began her career in the early 1990s in Chicago by self-releasing audiocassettes under the name Girly-Sound. The intense response to these early tracks led to Phair's signing with the independent record label Matador Records. She has been a recording artist and touring performer for over twenty-five years, paving the way for countless music artists, particularly women, who cite her among their major influences. Phair is also a visual artist who majored in studio art and art history at Oberlin College. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times and The Atlantic. Horror Stories is her first book.

Number of Pages: 220Genre: ArchitectureSub-Genre: BuildingsFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Oro EditionsAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: Joshua ComaroffLanguage: English About the Book This book looks at the idea of horror and its analogues in architecture. In these, normal compositions become strange: extra limbs appear, holes open where they should not, individual objects are doubled or split or perversely occupied. Horrifying buildings re-imagine the possibilities of architectural language, shifting from "natural" norms to other, more rarified and exciting options. They define an expanded aesthetic field that marries the beautiful to the distorted, the awkward, the manifold, and the indeterminate. Through an investigation that spans architecture art, and literature, this study attempts to limn horror through its shifting forms and meanings--and to identify a creeping unease that lingers at the very center of the modern project. "Horror in Architecture" may be read as a history, as an alternative to the classic canon of good and proper architectures, or as a sly manifesto for a new approach to the design of the built environment--one that encourages a playful subversion of conventions. To capture horror in its many guises, this study is presented in a unique manner. An introductory essay describes the historical fortunes of horror as an aesthetic idea, from Roman antiquity to the pulp films and novels of the present day. Here, the authors put forward a new theory of the sources and effects of horror in modernity and in modern architecture. This is followed by case studies of types, linking classic tropes (clones, doubles, hybrids, psychotics and the undead) to specific buildings and architectural theories. As a result, this study may be read in a number of different ways. It may be consumed as a total theoretical piece, from start to finish. Or it may provide a series of more casual readings, in the various chapters and brief presentations of the works of individual architects or buildings.

Here, the authors put forward a new theory of the sources and effects of horror in modernity and in modern architecture. This is followed by case studies of types, linking classic tropes (clones, doubles, hybrids, psychotics and the undead) to specific buildings and architectural theories. As a result, this study may be read in a number of different ways. It may be consumed as a total theoretical piece, from start to finish. Or it may provide a series of more casual readings, in the various chapters and brief presentations of the works of individual architects or buildings. From the Back Cover In Horror in Architecture, normal compositions become strange: extra limbs appear, holes open where they should not, individual objects are doubled or split or perversely occupied. These buildings reimagine the possibilities of architectural language, shifting from natural norms to other, more rarefied and exciting options. They define an expanded aesthetic field that marries the beautiful to the distorted, the awkward, the manifold, and the indeterminate. Through an investigation that spans architecture, art, and literature, this study limns horror through its shifting forms and identifies a creeping unease that lingers at the very center of the modern project.
