Absorbed in occultism and sorcery, voyaging into inner dimensions and surrounding himself with cats and familiar spirits, he continued to produce extraordinary art while developing a magical philosophy of pleasure, obsession, and the subjective nature of reality.\r\n\r\nToday Spare is both forgotten and famous, a cult figure whose modest life has been much mythologised since his death. This groundbreaking biographical study offers wide-ranging insights into Spare’s art, mind and world, reconnecting him with the art history that ignored him and exploring his parallel London; a bygone place of pub pianists, wealthy alchemists and monstrous owls.\r\n\r\nThis richly readable and illuminating biography takes us deep into the strange inner world that this most enigmatic of artists inhabited, shedding new light while allowing just a few shadowy corners to flourish unspoiled.\r\n\r\n<strong>About the author</strong>\r\n\r\nPhil Baker’s books include <i>City of The Beast: The London of Aleister Crowley</i>, <i>The Dedalus Book of Absinthe</i>, <i>London: City of Cities</i>, and <i>The Devil is a Gentleman: The Life and Times of Dennis Wheatley</i>.  He lives in London.\r\n\r\n<strong style=\"font-family: Georgia, \'Bitstream Charter\', serif; color: #000000; line-height: 1.5; font-weight: bold;\">Reviews</strong>\r\n\r\n\"[told with] zest and insight...

Each offered specialized cuisines and morbid visual displays featuring flashes of nudity and shocking optical illusions.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">These cabarets were considered the most curious and controversial amusements in the city, and graphic postcards of their startling spectacles and otherworldly interiors became their own sensational currency.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/cabarets-of-death/\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-7690\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-27-at-12.47.33-300x336.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"336\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<em>Cabarets of Death</em> documents the dinner shows, bizarre character interactions, and theatrical goings on in these unique establishments. Presenting original images and drawings from contemporary journals, postcards, tourist brochures, and menus, the late cultural historian Mel Gordon leads a tour of these idiosyncratically macabre institutions, and grants us unique access to a form of popular spectacle now long departed.\r\n\r\n<strong>About the authors</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Mel Gordon</strong> (1947–2018), called a “drama scholar of the fringe” by the New York Times, published books on the grisly Grand Guignol theater, the deviant sexual worlds of Weimar Berlin and Paris, and Erik Jan Hanussen, Hitler’s Jewish clairvoyant.\r\n\r\n<strong>Joanna Ebenstein</strong> is a Brooklyn-based artist, writer, curator, photographer, and graphic designer.

It hits a perfect sweet spot between learned critical analysis and freewheeling, life-affirming adventuring through an entire milieu. Multi-voiced and deeply researched, but never indulgent, it is not only a beautiful object, but an important historical artifact of a time never to be repeated.” – <strong>Benjamin Myers</strong>\r\n\r\nA wide-ranging collection of interviews, anecdotes, essays, and ephemera concerning one of the most enigmatic bands to emerge from the 1960s psych-folk scene.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFirst published in 2003 and long out of print, <em>Be Glad For The Song Has No Ending: An Incredible String Band Compendium</em> is the definitive book about the ISB. Containing a wealth of interviews, essays, and ephemera from the band’s brief but tangled history, this new revised and expanded edition includes two new pieces by ISB member Rose Simpson on Witchseason Productions’ idiosyncratic offices and on recording with the ISB in the Sound Techniques studio, as well as interviews with Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys, folk musician Alasdair Roberts, and Ossian Brown of Coil and Cyclobe. Other contributors include Mike Heron, Robin Williamson, Rowan Williams, ISB manager and producer Joe Boyd, Andy Roberts, Billy Connolly, and Raymond Greenoaken.\r\n\r\n<strong>About the editor</strong>\r\n\r\nAdrian Whittaker has written for <em>The Wire</em>, <em>Shindig!</em>, and <em>Record Collector</em>. In 2003 he edited<em> Be Glad: An Incredible String Band Compendium</em>. In 2019 he published <em>Fitting Pieces To The Jigsaw</em>, the definitive book on Irish psych-folk band Dr. Strangely Strange.

With music that could be dark, queer, and difficult, but often retained a warped pop sensibility, Coil\'s albums were multifaceted repositories of esoteric knowledge, lysergic wisdom and acerbic humor. In <em>Everything Keeps Dissolving</em>, core members John Balance and Peter Christopherson tell Coil\'s story in the present tense, and from their personal perspectives.\r\n\r\nAccompanied by their various collaborators, Coil describe the fertile eruption of ideas, inspirations, and stray tangents that informed their lyrical and musical visions—as well as those dead paths and castoff concepts that didn\'t take root. Not only a worm\'s eye view of Coil, these interviews provide insight into the late twentieth century\'s evolving British cultural underground as channeled through two of its most astutely mercurial minds.\r\n\r\nA milestone in Coil\'s evolving posthumous history, <em>Everything Keeps Dissolving</em> contains a number of previously unseen drawings, photographs and other images by, and of, the band.\r\n\r\n<strong>About the editor:\r\n</strong>Nick Soulsby is the author of <em>Everything Keeps Dissolving: Conversations With Coil</em> (Winter 2022), <em>Lydia Lunch: The War Is Never Over</em> (2019), <em>Swans: Sacrifice And Transcendence </em>(2018), <em>Thurston Moore: We Sing A New Language </em>(2017), <em>Cobain On Cobain: Interviews &amp; Encounters</em> (2016), <em>I Found My Friends: The Oral History Of Nirvana</em> (2015), and <em>Dark Slivers: Seeing Nirvana In The Shards Of Incesticide</em> (2012). His words feature in an upcoming book on artist Marc Hurtado and <em>The Abrahadabra Letters</em> by John Balance/Anthony Blokdijk. In 2014 he curated <em>No Seattle: Forgotten Sounds Of The North West Grunge Era </em>with Soul Jazz Records, he wrote the liner notes for the re-release of <em>We Are Urusei Yatsura</em> (2022), and also the oral history of Fire Ants for the reissue of their 1993 EP <em>Stripped</em>.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/everything-keeps-dissolving-conv/\">ORDER HERE</a></strong></p>\r\n&nbsp;','Everything Keeps Dissolving','Coil\'s story told in the present tense, through over 20 years of interviews.','inherit','closed','closed','','7395-revision-v1','','','2023-11-09 16:54:25','2023-11-09 16:54:25','',7395,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=7737',0,'revision','',0),(7738,2,'2023-11-13 14:34:29','2023-11-13 14:34:29','<strong><a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/in-search-of-the-third-bird/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6797\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-6797\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/In-search-of-the-third-bird-PB-COVER-1024x1521.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"367\" height=\"545\" /></a></strong>\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Exemplary Essays from The Proceedings of ESTAR(SER), 2001–2021</strong>\r\n</em>\r\nEdited by<strong> D.

I can hear it as a very odd performance score and everyone off their tits on laudanum. </em><strong>\r\nEmma Bolland\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nA great deal of uncertainty—and even some genuine confusion—surrounds the origin, evolution, and activities of the so-called <i>Avis Tertia</i> or Order of the Third Bird. Sensational accounts of this “attentional cult” emphasise histrionic rituals, tragic trance-addictions, and the covert dissemination of obscurantist ontologies of the art object. Hieratic, ecstatic, and endlessly evasive, the Order attracts sensual misfits and cabalistic aesthetes—both to its ranks, and to its scholarship.\r\n\r\nIn recent years, however, the revisionist work of the research collective ESTAR(SER) has done much to clear the air, bringing archival precision to the history of this covey of attention-artists who call themselves The Birds. Gathering the best articles of the last twenty years of <i>The Proceedings of ESTAR(SER)</i>, this volume represents a landmark in the history of aesthetic practices, and will be a point of departure for future work wading the muddy marshes at the limits of historicism.\r\n\r\n<em>\"So what, exactly, ARE these nearly 800 heavily footnoted pages?

Two-Headed Doctor is about spectral America, the porosity of identity, racial drag, syncretic spirituality, nocturnal transmissions, fantastical fabulation. No one listens more deeply - or more hemispherically - than David Toop; no music writer is more entrancing or contagious\"\r\n- Sukhdev Sandhu\r\n\r\n\"Dr John might have come into being just so David Toop could unravel his mysteries. We bump into our Two Headed magus in a twilight zone across the river, where a strange ceremony is underway. The celebrants include Ornette Coleman and Sonny Bono, Nick Tosches and Margaret Mead, Princess Lotus Blossom and Prince La La, Ishmael Reed and Irma Thomas, Gábor Szabó and Bing Crosby. There are marshmallow sandwiches and musical bones, frogs and tambourines. Irish fiddlers and Egyptian sistrum players vamp together. Joseph Conrad and Merle Haggard meet on the same burial ground. Baron Samedi is snapped on a beach in Sussex. The dead among the living. All fictional, all real.\"\r\n- Ian Penman\r\n\r\nTwo-Headed Doctor is a forensic investigation into a single LP: Dr. John, the night tripper\'s Gris-gris. Though released in 1968 to poor sales and a minimum of critical attention, Gris-gris has accumulated legendary status over subsequent decades for its strangeness, hybridity, and innovative production. It formed the launch pad for Dr. John\'s image and lengthy career and the ghostly presence of its so-called voodoo atmosphere hovers over numerous cover versions, samples, and re-invocations. Despite the respect given to the record, its making is shrouded in mystery, misunderstandings, and false conclusions. The persona of Dr. John, loosely based on dubious literary accounts of a notorious voodooist and freed slave, a nineteenth-century New Orleans resident known as Doctor John, provided Malcolm \"Mac\" Rebennack with a lifelong mask through which to transform himself from session musician in order to construct a solo career.\r\n\r\nSomewhere between puzzle, experimental rhythm, blues disguised as rock, and elaborate hoax, Gris-gris was a collaborative project between Rebennack and producer/arranger Harold Battiste (at the time musical director for Sonny &amp; Cher). A few brief sessions held at Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles brought together many of New Orleans\' finest musicians, including Shirley Goodman, John Boudreaux, Plas Johnson, Jessie Hill, Ernest McLean, and Tami Lynn. Along with their complex histories, the cast of characters implicated in the story includes Ornette Coleman, Lafcadio Hearn, Zora Neale Hurston, Cher, Sonny Bono, Sam Cooke, Ishmael Reed, Black Herman, Prince La La, and many others. The story details in discursive style the historical context of the music, how it came together, its literary sources, production and arrangements, and the nature of the recording studio as dream state, but also examines as a disturbing undercurrent the volatile issue of race in twentieth-century music, the way in which it doomed relationships and ambitious projects, exploited great talents, and distorted the cultural landscape.\r\n\r\n\"David Toop’s books have always been examples of what can be achieved by scholarship liberated by the norms and conformism of academia. They are enlivened by the storytelling of a writer and artist who remains a voracious reader and listener. But in Two Headed Doctor: Listening for Ghosts in Dr. John’s Gris Gris he has outdone himself. At once a densely researched blend of cultural history, ethno/musicology and memoir of listening, it is also a personal accounting of the occult pathways of the African Diaspora and its gloriously convoluted impact on music, culture and identity\"\r\n- Louis Chude Sokei\r\n\r\n\"Ostensibly about an album I barely know and had little interest in, I burned through this book, which raises the ghosts of 20th century culture, to ask questions about the very stuff our musical histories are made from.\"\r\n- Jennifer Lucy Allen\r\n\r\n\"A double headfirst plunge into the murk of American performance and states of \"dreamed-up being\" -- but also a generous archival sharing (say, tilialea plant for the Gabonese voice disguiser tea), passed between worlds studio and spectral, in acknowledgement to all gris gris contributors, actual and imagined. David Toop reverse engineers the Night Tripper mythology, listening as a way to question our own mediumship.\"\r\n- Dave Tompkins\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Two-Headed Doctor','A forensic investigation into Dr. John the night tripper’s album \'Gris-gris\'','publish','closed','closed','','two-headed-doctor','','','2024-09-02 06:30:33','2024-09-02 06:30:33','',0,'https://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=7748',0,'post','',0),(7749,6,'2024-01-17 12:40:26','2024-01-17 12:40:26','','Two-Headed-Doctor-Promo-Cover-Web','','inherit','closed','closed','','two-headed-doctor-promo-cover-web','','','2024-01-17 12:40:26','2024-01-17 12:40:26','',7748,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Two-Headed-Doctor-Promo-Cover-Web.gif',0,'attachment','image/gif',0),(7750,6,'2024-01-17 13:15:23','2024-01-17 13:15:23','<h1><strong>Two-Headed Doctor: Listening For Ghosts<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-7749 alignright\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Two-Headed-Doctor-Promo-Cover-Web-300x424.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"424\" /> In Dr. John\'s Gris-Gris</strong></h1>\r\n<strong>By David Toop</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Paperback: £19.99</strong>\r\n<strong>Hardback: £35.00 </strong>\r\n\r\nPublished in two editions, a standard trade paperback and a limited edition hardback with dustjacket.\r\n\r\nPaperback with flaps\r\n148mm x 210mm\r\n300 pages (approx)\r\nISBN: 9781913689605\r\n\r\n<strong>Available to Pre-Order Soon</strong>\r\n\r\nTwo-Headed Doctor is a forensic investigation into a single LP: Dr. John, the night tripper\'s Gris-gris.

Two-Headed Doctor is about spectral America, the porosity of identity, racial drag, syncretic spirituality, nocturnal transmissions, fantastical fabulation. No one listens more deeply - or more hemispherically - than David Toop; no music writer is more entrancing or contagious\"\n- Sukhdev Sandhu\n\n\"Dr John might have come into being just so David Toop could unravel his mysteries. We bump into our Two Headed magus in a twilight zone across the river, where a strange ceremony is underway. The celebrants include Ornette Coleman and Sonny Bono, Nick Tosches and Margaret Mead, Princess Lotus Blossom and Prince La La, Ishmael Reed and Irma Thomas, Gábor Szabó and Bing Crosby. There are marshmallow sandwiches and musical bones, frogs and tambourines. Irish fiddlers and Egyptian sistrum players vamp together. Joseph Conrad and Merle Haggard meet on the same burial ground. Baron Samedi is snapped on a beach in Sussex. The dead among the living. All fictional, all real.\"\n- Ian Penman\n\nTwo-Headed Doctor is a forensic investigation into a single LP: Dr. John, the night tripper\'s Gris-gris.

They are enlivened by the storytelling of a writer and artist who remains a voracious reader and listener. But in Two Headed Doctor: Listening for Ghosts in Dr. John’s Gris Gris he has outdone himself. At once a densely researched blend of cultural history, ethno/musicology and memoir of listening, it is also a personal accounting of the occult pathways of the African Diaspora and its gloriously convoluted impact on music, culture and identity\"\n- Louis Chude Sokei\n\n\"Ostensibly about an album I barely know and had little interest in, I burned through this book, which raises the ghosts of 20th century culture, to ask questions about the very stuff our musical histories are made from.\"\n- Jennifer Lucy Allen\n\n\"A double headfirst plunge into the murk of American performance and states of \"dreamed-up being\" -- but also a generous archival sharing (say, tilialea plant for the Gabonese voice disguiser tea), passed between worlds studio and spectral, in acknowledgement to all gris gris contributors, actual and imagined. David Toop reverse engineers the Night Tripper mythology, listening as a way to question our own mediumship.\"\n- Dave Tompkins\n\n&nbsp;','Two-Headed Doctor','Available To Pre-Order Soon','inherit','closed','closed','','7748-autosave-v1','','','2024-06-28 09:50:00','2024-06-28 09:50:00','',7748,'https://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=7753',0,'revision','',0),(7801,6,'2024-06-27 10:57:18','2024-06-27 10:57:18','','NewRENDER-01','','inherit','closed','closed','','newrender-01','','','2024-06-27 10:57:18','2024-06-27 10:57:18','',7748,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/NewRENDER-01.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(7754,6,'2024-01-17 13:28:37','2024-01-17 13:28:37','<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-7749\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Two-Headed-Doctor-Promo-Cover-Web-300x424.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"424\" />Listening For Ghosts In Dr. John\'s Gris-Gris</strong></h1>\r\n<strong>By David Toop</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Paperback: £19.99</strong>\r\n<strong>Hardback: £35.00 </strong>\r\n\r\nPublished in two editions, a standard trade paperback and a limited edition hardback with dustjacket.\r\n\r\nPaperback with flaps\r\n148mm x 210mm\r\n300 pages (approx)\r\nISBN: 9781913689605\r\n\r\n<strong>Available to Pre-Order Soon</strong>\r\n\r\nTwo-Headed Doctor is a forensic investigation into a single LP: Dr. John, the night tripper\'s Gris-gris.

It formed the launch pad for Dr. John\'s image and lengthy career and the ghostly presence of its so-called voodoo atmosphere hovers over numerous cover versions, samples, and re-invocations. Despite the respect given to the record, its making is shrouded in mystery, misunderstandings, and false conclusions. The persona of Dr. John, loosely based on dubious literary accounts of a notorious voodooist and freed slave, a nineteenth-century New Orleans resident known as Doctor John, provided Malcolm \"Mac\" Rebennack with a lifelong mask through which to transform himself from session musician in order to construct a solo career.\r\n\r\nSomewhere between puzzle, experimental rhythm, blues disguised as rock, and elaborate hoax, Gris-gris was a collaborative project between Rebennack and producer/arranger Harold Battiste (at the time musical director for Sonny &amp; Cher).

Along with their complex histories, the cast of characters implicated in the story includes Ornette Coleman, Lafcadio Hearn, Zora Neale Hurston, Cher, Sonny Bono, Sam Cooke, Ishmael Reed, Black Herman, Prince La La, and many others. The story details in discursive style the historical context of the music, how it came together, its literary sources, production and arrangements, and the nature of the recording studio as dream state, but also examines as a disturbing undercurrent the volatile issue of race in twentieth-century music, the way in which it doomed relationships and ambitious projects, exploited great talents, and distorted the cultural landscape.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Two-Headed Doctor','Available To Pre-Order Soon','inherit','closed','closed','','7748-revision-v1','','','2024-06-27 11:00:28','2024-06-27 11:00:28','',7748,'https://strangeattractor.co.uk/?p=7802',0,'revision','',0),(7803,6,'2024-06-27 11:04:23','2024-06-27 11:04:23','','NewRENDER-01','','inherit','closed','closed','','newrender-01-2','','','2024-06-27 11:04:23','2024-06-27 11:04:23','',7748,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/NewRENDER-01-1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(7804,6,'2024-06-27 11:04:45','2024-06-27 11:04:45','<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Listening For Ghosts In Dr. John\'s Gris-Gris</strong></h1>\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-7803\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/NewRENDER-01-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>By David Toop</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Paperback: £19.99</strong>\r\n<strong>Hardback: £35.00 </strong>\r\n\r\nPublished in two editions, a standard trade paperback and a limited edition hardback with dustjacket.\r\n\r\nPaperback with flaps\r\n148mm x 210mm\r\n300 pages (approx)\r\nISBN: 9781913689605\r\n\r\n<strong>Available to Pre-Order Soon</strong>\r\n\r\nTwo-Headed Doctor is a forensic investigation into a single LP: Dr. John, the night tripper\'s Gris-gris.

Clarke award-winning novelist Adrian Tchaikovsky, tales by A. Merritt and Andre Norton, a dark fantasy comic by Gardner Fox &amp; John Giunta, and illustrations by revered master of the weird, Virgil Finlay, and <em>Escape The Dark Castle</em>\'s Alex Crispin.\r\n\r\nDrawing upon the original list of “inspirational reading” provided by Gary Gygax in the first <em>Dungeon Master\'s Guide</em>, published in 1979, as well as hobbyist magazines and related periodicals that helped to define the modern role-playing game, <em>Appendix N</em> offers a collection of short fiction and resonant fragments that reveal the literary influences that shaped <em>Dungeons &amp; Dragons</em>, the world\'s most popular RPG. The stories in <em>Appendix N</em> contextualise the ambitious lyrical excursions that helped set the adventurous tone and dank, dungeon-crawling atmospheres of fantasy roleplay as we know it today.\r\n\r\nThis new edition, published on the occasion of <em>D&amp;D</em>’s 50th anniversary, includes fascinating new stories, a comprehensive introduction, and a new foreword.\r\n\r\nIncludes work by Poul Anderson, Frank Brunner, Ramsey Campbell, Lin Carter, Lord Dunsany, Gardner Fox &amp; John Giunta, Robert E.
