Keep Calm and Zomri
Tvárime sa ako drsňáci na internete, ale v skutočnosti sme rozmaznaní synáčikovia, ktorí sa dojmú pri každej somarine. Vytáčajú nás idioti, chrapúni a prakokoti. Bez nich by tu bolo lepšie, ale naše fungovanie by nedávalo zmysel. A to je paradoxne presne to, čo chceme dosiahnuť a čoho sa chceme dožiť. Aby tu raz bolo tak dobre, že by Zomri mohlo v pokoji zomrieť. Momentálne však Zomri žije možno viac, ako by sme si to všetci priali. A s vašou podporou ešte aj dlho bude.
Už takmer tri desiatky rokov existuje slovenská spoločnosť v nejakom zvláštnom medzisvete a nevie sa úplne rozhodnúť, kam chce patriť.
Ľudia boli od konca štyridsiatych rokov 20. storočia zvyknutí, že sa o nich stará niekto iný a že do vecí okolo seba vlastne nemajú ako zasiahnuť. Po prevrate prišiel prúser. Na jednej strane stáli nadšenci a idealisti, ktorí z tejto krajiny chceli urobiť modernú spoločnosť založenú na demokratických základoch, a na opačnej hajzli, ktorí svojimi demagógiami ťahajú ľudí do stredoveku. Tento boj dodnes nielen že pretrváva, je silnejší ako kedykoľvek predtým. Moc ovládajú populisti, v parlamente sedia nacisti. Demokratická opozícia je v absolútnom rozvrate, raz sa prikláňa na stranu populistov, inokedy slabučko hryzne.
V stave tohto marazmu vzniklo Zomri úplne spontánne. Pôvodne sme boli jednoduchá facebooková stránka, ktorá uverejňovala vtipy a upozorňovala na prešľapy.
Teraz sme však už miestom, kam sa ľudia chodia uvoľniť po dni naplnenom politikmi, ktorí dennodenne serú na hlavy celej verejnosti. Keď sa vám z paláca vládnej strany smejú do ksichtu a potom idú prespať k usvedčeným zločincom, keď občianske slobody označujú za ohrozenie štátu a kriminálka vyšetruje študentov organizujúcich protesty tak viete, že ste sa za tých tridsať rokov posunuli viac dozadu, ako dopredu.
My na to odpovede nemáme. Snažíme sa len tieto šialenstvá priniesť čo najširšej verejnosti v jazyku, ktorý máme všetci spoločný a zakorenený niekde v hlbinách našich duší. V jazyku humoru, dôvtipu a vulgarity.
Zomri je občianska sebaobrana.

Black Crowes, The - The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion (Deluxe Edition) 2CD
The Black Crowes je americká rocková skupina založená v Atlante v štáte Georgia v roku 1984. Ich diskografia obsahuje osem štúdiových albumov, štyri živé albumy a niekoľko hitparádových singlov. V roku 1989 skupina podpísala zmluvu s Def American Recordings s producentom Georgeom Drakouliasom a nasledujúci rok vydala svoj debutový album Shake Your Money Maker. Ich nasledovníci The Southern Harmony a Musical Companion sa dostali na vrchol rebríčka Billboard 200 v roku 1992. Albumy Amorica (1994), Three Snakes and One Charm (1996), By Your Side (1999) a Lions (2001) nasledovali, pričom každý z nich vykazoval miernu popularitu, ale nedokázal zachytiť úspechy prvých dvoch albumov skupiny. Po prestávke v rokoch 2002 až 2005 sa skupina preskupila a koncertovala niekoľko rokov, kým v roku 2008 vydala Warpaint, ktorá sa dostala na 5. miesto v rebríčku Billboard.

Books do Furnish a Life
At a time when science can seem complex and remote, it has a greater impact on our lives, and to the future of our planet, than ever before. It really matters that its discoveries and truths should be clearly and widely communicated. That its enemies, from the malicious to the muddled, the self-deluding to the self-interested, be challenged and exposed. That science should be brought out of the laboratory, taken into the corridors of power and defended in the maelstrom of popular culture. No one does this better than Richard Dawkins.
In bringing together his forewords, afterwords and introductions to works by some of the leading thinkers of our age - Carl Sagan, Lawrence Krauss, Jacob Bronowski, Lewis Wolpert - and a selection of his reviews, both admiring and critical, of a wide range of scientific and other works, Books do Furnish a Life celebrates the writers who communicate the ideas of science and the natural world in both fiction and non-fiction. It celebrates the courage of those who write about their experiences of escaping religion and embracing rationality, of protecting the truths of science and analytical rigour against charlatanry and obfuscation.
Rolling Stones, The - Black And Blue (Japanese SHM Limited-Edition Reissue) CD
"The Rolling Stones" je anglická rocková skupina založená v Londýne v roku 1962. Aktívna už viac ako šesť desaťročí, je jednou z najpopulárnejších a najtrvalejších kapiel rockovej éry. Začiatkom 60. rokov boli Rolling Stones priekopníkmi drsného, rytmicky riadeného zvuku, ktorý definoval hard rock. Ich prvú stabilnú zostavu tvorili spevák Mick Jagger, multiinštrumentalista Brian Jones, gitarista Keith Richards, basgitarista Bill Wyman a bubeník Charlie Watts. Počas ich formovania bol Jones hlavným lídrom: zostavil skupinu, pomenoval ju a riadil jej zvuk a imidž. Po tom, čo sa v roku 1963 stal manažérom skupiny Andrew Loog Oldham, povzbudil ich, aby napísali svoje vlastné piesne. Jagger a Richards sa stali primárnou tvorivou silou kapely, čím odcudzili Jonesa, ktorý si vyvinul drogovú závislosť, ktorá zasahovala do jeho schopnosti zmysluplne prispievať. "The Rolling Stones" majú odhadovaný predaj nahrávok na úrovni 200 miliónov, čo z nich robí jedného z najpredávanejších hudobných umelcov všetkých čias. Kapela získala tri ceny Grammy a cenu Grammy za celoživotné dielo. V roku 1989 ich uviedli do Rokenrolovej siene slávy a v roku 2004 do Britskej hudobnej siene slávy. Časopis Billboard a Rolling Stone zaradili skupinu medzi jednu z najväčších všetkých čias.
Prvýkrát sú albumy v japonskej verzii SHM-CD, ktorá využíva mono mix, v limitovanej edícii dostupné mimo Japonska! SHM CD je CD najvyššej kvality, kompatibilné so všetkými CD prehrávačmi. SHM-CD používa polykarbonátový materiál pôvodne vyvinutý pre LCD displeje a zvýšená priehľadnosť SHM-CD sa premieta do väčšej čistoty, hĺbky a definície zvuku, čím sa poslucháč dostáva stále bližšie k hudbe z pôvodnej predlohy.

Nick and Charlie
A short novella based on the beloved characters from the graphic novel Heartstopper and Alice Oseman's debut novel Solitaire, which was praised as 'The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age' by The Times.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?
CHARLIE: "I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years. He likes rugby, Formula 1, dogs, the Marvel universe, the sound felt-tips make on paper, rain and drawing on shoes. He also likes me."
NICK: "Things me and Charlie Spring do together include: Watch films. Sit in the same room on different laptops. Text each other from different rooms. Make out. Make food. Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we're kind of boring. But that's fine with us."
Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple - that they're inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone's asking if they're staying together, which is a stupid question - they're 'Nick and Charlie' for God's sake!
But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever...

Real-life Dragons and their Stories of Survival
Find out the fascinating stories of ten real-life dragons, the myths and legends surrounding them, their discoveries and how they survive today.
For centuries, dragons have captured our imaginations, guarding troves of treasure and breathing out fire. They appear in many myths and legends from around the world, some soaring through the air on scaly wings; some lurking in caves underground and some diving the depths of the seas and oceans.
While there is, sadly, no such thing as a fire-breathing dragon, there are still dragons alive today in the animal kingdom. One of them can even fly. This book brings together the stories of ten real-life dragons, with fascinating facts mixed with some folklore. There are also tales of how these extraordinary creatures were discovered and about their adaptations for surviving in the wild.
Are you ready for the wildlife safari of a lifetime?
This high-interest approach to the natural world shows the diversity of nature, evolution and adaptation and can be used to support the science curriculum study of living things at key stage two.
Full-colour photographs combined with illustrations make this a beautiful and fascinating introduction to real-life dragons around the world.
A-ha - Headlines And Deadlines: The Hits Of A-ha LP
KDO: Norské trio se zformovalo v roce 1982. Do celosvětového povědomí se dostalo v polovině osmdesátých let, kdy si skupiny všiml producent John Ratcliff. Debutové album Hunting High And Low se stalo v roce 1985 jedničkou v rodném Norsku, dvojkou na britských ostrovech a dosáhlo na patnácté místo v Americe. Kapela, kterou tvoří Morten Harket (zpěv), Magne Furuholmen (klávesy) a Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (kytary), byla velmi úspěšná i v dalších letech a patří k nejpopulárnějším skandinávským interpretům všech dob.
CO: Vinylová reedice kompilační desky vydané původně v roce 1991. Kromě největších hitů skupiny album obsahuje i novou skladbu Move To Memphis, která byla později přetočena a vydána na páté studiovce Memorial Beach. Na vinylu je deska k dispozici poprvé po 25 letech.

Lacná kniha Life Unstyled (-25%)
We are bombarded by perfect interiors, images that aren't attainable because they have been styled to the point where they bear no resemblance to reality. These interiors may be stunning, but they aren't an honest reflection of how we really live and I think they make us feel bad about our own less-than-perfect homes. Life Unstyled is about taking inspiration from real homes that are beautiful, creative and inspiring but at the same time a little rough around the edges, with signs of everyday life evident throughout. The first section, 'Homes Unstyled', sets out Emily's manifesto for creating a stylish home that is beautiful but lived in. A Home is Never Done advocates allowing your space to evolve gradually so it is an ever-changing expression of your tastes and interests. Work with What You've Got suggests ways to make the most of the home you have rather than yearning for unattainable perfection. Signs of Life offers ideas for wrangling papers, clutter and other stuff. Creative Clutter tackles collections and displays, while Break the Rules rejects style diktats and shows how individuality can bring a home to life. The second section, 'People Live Here', visits real-life homes that are definitely not perfect yet display incredible style and creativity and reflect their owners' needs, tastes and style. And throughout the book, quick fixes, DIY makes and ' Every Home Should Have...' boxes offer creative solutions with unique results.

The Price of Life
We say that life is priceless. Yet the cost of saving a life, creating a life or compensating for a life taken is routinely calculated and put into practice. In a world in love with data, it is possible to run a cost-benefit analysis on anything – including life itself. For philanthropists, judges, criminals, healthcare providers and government ministers, it’s just part of the job. In The Price of Life, journalist, broadcaster and documentary-maker Jenny Kleeman takes us on an adventure to meet some of the people who decide what we're worth.
In a series of extraordinary encounters – with people who have faked their own death or lost a loved one to terrorism, with hitmen and with modern day slaves – she discovers more questions than answers. What does it mean for our humanity when we crunch the numbers to decide who gets the expensive life-saving drugs, and who misses out? What do we learn about ourselves when philanthropic giving by the effective altruists in Silicon Valley is received by some, while others are left to suffer? Are some lives really worth more than others? And what happens when we take human emotions out of the equation? Does it make for a fairer decision-making process – or for moral bankruptcy?
Exploring the final frontier in monetization, Kleeman asks what we lose and what we gain by leaving the judgments that really matter up to cold, hard logic.
