Slash - Orgy Of The Damned CD
Saul Hudson (narodený 23. júla 1965), profesionálne známy ako Slash, je britsko-americký hudobník,ktorý pôsobí ako hlavný gitarista hardrockovej skupiny Guns N' Roses, s ktorou koncom osemdesiatych a začiatkom deväťdesiatych rokov dosiahol celosvetový úspech. Slash získal uznanie kritikov a je považovaný za jedného z najlepších gitaristov všetkých čias.
„Orgy of the Damned“ je kolekcia 12 dynamických skladieb, ktoré otriasajú a oživujú bluesovú klasiku s inštinktívnym prístupom. Slash sa opäť zišiel s dvoma bývalými spoluhráčmi z Blues Ball,basgitaristom Johnnym Griparicom a klávesákom Teddym Andreadisom, a získal bubeníka Michaela Jeromea a speváka/gitaristu Tasha Neala. Všetko sa hralo naživo v miestnosti s dôrazom na improvizáciu. Tento prístup viedol k dynamickým skladbám plným energie, ktoré pôsobia bezprostredne, surovo a zreteľne povedome. V nasledujúcich mesiacoch Slash získal a nahral rôznorodých hosťujúcich spevákov albumu, ku ktorým patria Gary Clark Jr, Billy F. Gibbons, Chris Stapleton, Dorothy, Iggy Pop, Paul Rodgers, Demi Lovato, Brian Johnson, Tash Neal, Chris Robinson, a Beth Hart. Na inom mieste albumu má Steven Tyler z Aerosmith harmoniku na prvom singli albumu, chrapľavý, veselo nespútaný pohľad na štandardnú skladbu Howlin' Wolf z roku 1964 „Killing Floor“. Orgy of the Damned predstavuje menej počúvaný aspekt Slashovej hudobnej zdatnosti. Zatiaľ čo vždy prijímal širokú škálu štýlov a žánrov, album ponúka pohľad na jeho rané inšpirácie a pretrvávajúce posadnutosti. Namiesto nahrávania so svojou charakteristickou hromadou zosilňovačov si veci ponechal na základoch s malým kombinovaným zosilňovačom a niekoľkýmistarými gitarami, pričom využil príležitosť preskúmať jedinečnú stránku svojej hry.

The Masque of the Red Death
"The Masque of the Red Death", originally published as "The Mask of the Red Death", is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague known as the Red Death by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, has a masquerade ball within seven rooms of his abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. When Prospero confronts this stranger, he falls dead. The story follows many traditions of Gothic fiction and is often analyzed as an allegory about the inevitability of death, though some critics advise against an allegorical reading. Many different interpretations have been presented, as well as attempts to identify the true nature of the disease of the "Red Death."

I tu nejprobádanější krajinu můžeme objevovat stále znovu a znovu.
Naši krajinu domova máme krásně vymezenou zvláštní kruhovou hradbou pohraničních hor. Kotlina Čech, sevřená tímto prstencem, je do sebe uzavřeným světem, zatímco široké úvaly Moravy se naopak otevírají jako náruč. Člověk se v té krajině učil žít a hospodařit tak dlouho, až z ní vytvořil prostor, kterému sám pro sebe začal říkat Zahrádka. Krajinu domova vnímáme jako zemský ráj, o kterém se zpívá v naší hymně. Najdeme zde mnoho koutů, kde jedinečné kouzlo a nezaměnitelná poetika Zahrádky ožívá i dnes.
V této knize se spolu s námi projdete krajinou Hustopečské pahorkatiny a Pálavy, Železných hor a Žďárských vrchů, Bílých Karpat, Jizerských hor a Krkonoš, Nízkého a Hrubého Jeseníku. Podíváme se i na místa, v nichž se otiskly vzpomínky na sopky – do Českého středohoří a Slavkovského lesa.
Kniha navazuje na stejnojmenný úspěšný televizní pořad, který získal prestižní hlavní cenu Tourfilmu, mezinárodního festivalu filmů s cestovatelskou tematikou. Úchvatné fotografie doprovázejí texty vyzdvihující pozoruhodnosti české a moravské krajiny a dokreslují je působivé ilustrace. Vychází v trojjazyčné verzi – česky, anglicky a německy.

Metallica - Kill 'Em All (Jump In The Fire Engine Red Ltd. Edition) LP
Metallica je americká heavymetalová skupina. Kapela bola založená v roku 1981 v Los Angeles spevákom a gitaristom Jamesom Hetfieldom a bubeníkom Larsom Ulrichom a väčšinu svojej kariéry žila v San Franciscu.Rýchle tempá, inštrumentály a agresívne muzikantstvo z nich urobili jednu zo zakladajúcich „veľkej štvorky“ thrash metalových kapiel, popri Megadeth, Anthrax a Slayer. Aktuálnu zostavu Metallicy tvoria zakladajúci členovia a hlavní skladatelia Hetfield a Ulrich, dlhoročný hlavný gitarista Kirk Hammett a basgitarista Robert Trujillo. Gitarista Dave Mustaine, ktorý založil Megadeth po vyhodení z kapely, a basgitaristi Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton a Jason Newsted sú bývalí členovia kapely.
Kill 'Em All je debutový štúdiový album, vydaný 25. júla 1983 prostredníctvom nezávislého vydavateľstva Megaforce Records. Metallica začala vystúpeniami v miestnych kluboch v Los Angeles. Nahrali niekoľko dem, aby získali pozornosť majiteľov klubov a nakoniec sa presťahovali do San Francisca, aby si zabezpečili služby basgitaristu Cliffa Burtona. Demokazetu skupiny No Life 'til Leather (1982) si všimol šéf labelu Megaforce Jon Zazula, ktorý ich podpísal a poskytol rozpočet 15 000 dolárov na nahrávanie. Album bol nahraný v máji s producentom Paulom Curciom v Music America Studios v Rochestri v New Yorku. Pôvodne mal niesť názov Metal Up Your Ass, s predlohou s rukou zvierajúcou dýku vychádzajúcu zo záchodovej misy. Zazula presvedčil kapelu, aby zmenila názov, pretože distribútori sa obávali, že vydanie albumu s takým urážlivým názvom a grafikou by znížilo jej šance na komerčný úspech.

The Riddle of the Sands
The Riddle of the Sands: A Record of Secret Service is a patriotic British 1903 novel by Erskine Childers.It is a novel that "owes a lot to the wonderful adventure novels of writers like Rider Haggard, that were a staple of Victorian Britain"; perhaps more significantly, it was a spy novel that "established a formula that included a mass of verifiable detail, which gave authenticity to the story – the same ploy that would be used so well by John Buchan, Ian Fleming, John le Carré and many others." Ken Follett called it "the first modern thriller."

Pizdarije
Poviedková kniha Sinišu Novaca s názvom Pizdarije! je akýmsi pokračovaním jeho predchádzajúcich kníh U pičku materinu a Jebi ga!. Opäť ju tvoria komickotragické, tragikomické, ale aj len komické poviedky odohrávajúce sa na chorvátskych, avšak aj na španielskych plážach. Kniha dotvára jeho poviedkovú plážovú trilógiu. Slovo pizdarija znamená blbosť, hlúposť, avšak má aj omnoho expresívnejšie významy, veď pomôžme si slovíčkom pizda. Najmä, ak napríklad slovo hlúposti, sa dá preložiť slovom gluposti. Sú však v živote situácie, ktoré označiť slovom blbosť, hlúposť, akosi nesedí, je to totiž málo. Stratiť, napríklad, peňaženku so všetkými dokladmi, peniazmi a platobnými kartami na dovolenke a ocitnúť sa ako dovolenkár v koži bezdomovca, nie je blbosť, ani trapas, je to pizdarija. Pizdárijí života je neúrekom a práve o nich je táto kniha. Siniša Novac Stojíte na morskom brehu. Je okolo ôsmej večer, fúka teplý vietor a pláž je takmer prázdna. Zavrite oči, zhlboka sa nadýchnite a započúvajte... tlmené šumenie vĺn, fragmenty hlasov, súmrak. A teraz si predstavte energiu a atmosféru toho istého miesta na pláži skoro ráno. Táto melancholická zbierka bizarných, magických, ale aj obyčajných príbehov je najmä o zmene osvetlenia životov jednotlivých postáv. Ale predovšetkým z nej cítiť obrovskú silu mora. Ohrom-ného, krásneho mora, ktoré prebúdza našu dušu. A oživená duša sa zvykne všelikam zatúlať. Hvala ti puno, drago, divno, more. Dado Nagy
