Stereo Killer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min
Jeremy Tuman’s incandescent novel Stereo Killer makes a joke out of the joke, "Let’s get the band back together, man." When the main character’s cynical former front man calls to see if Chet Screamer wants to take a respite from his job as a part-time high-school teacher, head to Europe for a reunion tour, set his SG on stun, and risk screwing up a potential new relationship, even before his undesired stint of celibacy gets broken, he reluctantly says yes. And so, the garage punkers the Stereo Killers are off on a low-budget summer blitz through dive bars, a journey on which the only sure things are dodgy-to-no sleeping accommodations, unpredictable audiences, too much boozing, and searing, primitive rock 'n' roll. This ain’t some rock-star return; this is the ear-busting reality of a band blasting back into the underground of trashy tunes and moments of jagged ecstasy. This audiobook is fierce, true, hilarious, beautiful, tragic, and heavy with earned wisdom. Tuman’s prose is as in-your-face as a kid flung from a mosh pit or a guitar solo thrashed out while the guitarist is falling down. Tuman knows his characters, their musical salvation stories, and their hardships. He also knows what it’s like to be the best kind of losers, meaning those who find what they weren’t even sure was lost. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Burt.

Howie Payne and Nick Enlow work the midnight shift at Big Carl’s Video Transfer and Media Services. An odd AVI clip begins to appear in their public drive on a nightly basis. At first Howie and Nick think it’s a serialized art house horror film someone on the day shift is sending them in secret. As the clips progress, however, the now obsessed duo discover something deeper and darker in the videos. Horror author Terry M. West would like to introduce you to the Green Room and its primary occupant, The Screamer. "The Devil’s List" - This story was inspired by shocking true events.

In the small Texas town of Pleasant Storm during the summer of 1985, Chuck Beall embarks on a journey of brutality and madness. Convinced he's possessed by a demon that compels him to kill, Chuck's murderous attention shifts from random transients to those he blames the most for his abusive past. "The Plumbers" - Liam and Pierce live in a country ravaged by a strange sickness. It’s called the CRUD and it turns its victims into rabid killing machines known as the Plaguers.

They preserve the dwindling resources of their homeland. Come along in the van and spend a typical day with Liam and Pierce. A day of digging holes, twisting pipe, soldering joints, measuring twice, cutting once, plunging the bog, battling the Plaguers in gruesome fashion, and telling crude jokes.

American Legends: The Life of Etta James , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 82min
Etta James, the legendary jazz, gospel, rhythm & blues, and soul singer, was perfectly positioned to reign as the supreme artist in the emerging soul genre of the '40s and '50s in America. No one ever doubted her talent, the highly distinctive and versatile nature of her voice, or her drive to succeed, and yet, she has been "woefully overlooked" in the history of indigenous rock and blues music in the United States. She is famous and recognized for several iconic hits with which she is eternally associated, such as "I'd Rather Go Blind" and "At Last", but her place in the pantheon of great soul artists is unsteady and not always instantly recognizable by those outside of a knowledgeable group of devotees. For the rest of soul music's listeners, mention of her name will result in a hasty inclusion into the inner circle of leading artists, as though James had been momentarily forgotten. Once the object of focus, however, she is revered as one of the titans of the genre, and those who had allowed her to slip from their minds are immediately reawakened to her powerful vocal and interpretive gifts. Such a vague position within the history of the form is partly due to a difficulty James experienced in crossing over to the white audience when others of the same genre were succeeding brilliantly at garnering a new, mixed race fan base. Further, her own abilities may have contributed to the phenomenon; Etta James excelled at almost everything she touched, from gospel and blues, to soul and pop. She could wound the listener with a ballad yet in the same evening "rock a house". In her various vocal incarnations, she triumphed as "a rhythm and blues belter, a blues crooner, and a rock-and-roll screamer" who could tailor her voice and her stage persona to seduce or abuse the listener. James' larger than life and highly forceful personality may have had a downside as well, as she searched for cross-over acceptance by doing everything that her colleag ungekürzt. Language: English.

Timeless
29 Peter M. Kersten a.k.a. Lawrence (Dial, Hamburg) schlägt einen Mix-Bogen über 16 Jahre gelebte Clubgeschichte, ohne dabei das akustische Hier und Jetzt aus dem Auge zu verlieren. COCOON SENKT DEN HAP!Peter M. Kersten aka Lawrence pflegt seit über zehn Jahren eine tiefe musikalische Geistesverwandtschaft mit der Ästhetik des Detroit Techno - und das in Hamburg, dem Tor zu Welt. Sein zusammen mit Carsten Jost betriebenes Label Dial steht wie kaum eine andere europäische Adresse für eine Wert bewusste Kultivierung melancholischen Qualitäts-Technos. Nach sieben Alben unter seinen Produzenten-Namen Lawrence und Sten setzt Kersten diese Perfektionierung der klanglichen Vision nun auch als DJ kongenial fort. Timeless entfernt sich meilenweit vom Diktat der im DJ-Rahmen fast schon dogmatischen Aktualitätsverpflichtung und zelebriert elektronische Tanzmusik als zeitlos sinnliche Komponente. Mit traumwandlerischer Sicherheit schlägt Kersten einen Bogen über 16 Jahre gelebter Clubgeschichte, ohne dabei das akustische Hier und Jetzt aus dem Auge zu verlieren oder auch nur eine Spur in anachronistischer Nostalgieseligkeit zu verfallen. Stattdessen gehen unter seinen sensiblen Händen Meilensteine des minimierten Deephouse wie Forever Monna von Chez Damier, Ron Trent und Stacey Pullen (1995) oder der 99er Clubhit Overcome von Thomas Melchior/Baby Ford mit kontemporären intensiven Detroittechno-Hommagen wie Smallpeople & Raus Life Aquatic, Delano Smiths My Life oder Pigons traumhafter Koto -Dubtech-Romanze von der 10 Jahre Dial-Compilation auf wunderbare Weise zusammen. Außerdem mit dabei sind so bekannte Namen wie Aril Brikha, Isolée, das Ifach Collective und Robert Hood, bevor Roman Flügels auf Duran Durans Save a prayer basierendes Meisterwerk Brian Le Bon und das kristalline OI von Plaids Klassikeralbum Not For Threes (Warp) den wehmütigen Schlussakkord setzen. Lawrence Mix atmet hier jedenfalls die Gelassenheit eines lichtdurchfluteten Sonntagmorgens zwischen modernistischer Großstadt und Waldlichtung und gibt so seinem globalen künstlerischen Ansatz die passende Dimension.
