Cooper Alice - Road CD
Alice Cooper je americký rockový spevák, ktorého kariéra trvá viac ako päť desaťročí. S chrapľavým hlasom a pódiovou show, ktorá obsahuje množstvo rekvizít a scénických ilúzií, vrátane pyrotechniky, gilotín, elektrických kresiel, falošnej krvi, plazov, bábik a súbojových mečov je Cooper mnohými hudobnými novinármi a rovesníkmi považovaný za "Krstný otec šokového rocku". Čerpal rovnako z hororových filmov, estrády a garážového rocku, aby sa stal priekopníkom strašidelnej a divadelnej značky rocku, ktorá má šokovať publikum.
V priebehu roku 2022 Alice úzko spolupracoval s členmi jeho turné, ako aj s dlhoročným producentom Bobom Ezrinom, aby vytvorili úplne novým štúdiovým albumom „Road“. Môžete cítiť energiu a ľahkosť, ktorú kapela prináša s každým riffom a počuť príbeh za tým, čo ich inšpirovalo. Uvádza všetko do kruhu a nasmeruje ducha starej školy s okamžite rozpoznateľnou drsnosťou a množstvom chuti. Je to všetko, čo od neho očakávate, a ešte viac. A tentokrát jeho dôveryhodní kolegovia z kapely: Ryan Roxie [gitara], Chuck Garric [basgitara], Tommy Henrikson [gitara], Glen Sobel [bicie] a Nita Strauss [gitara] — jazdia na brokovnici. Kane Roberts (spolupracovník na turné a nahrávaní s Alice's v minulých rokoch, ktorý sa v roku 2022 nakrátko pripojil k Cooperovi na ceste) má špeciálne hosťovanie a prispieva chrapľavou a burácajúcou skladbou „Dead Don’t Dance“. Ďalšími špeciálnymi prispievateľmi do albumu sú Tom Morello z Rage Against The Machine, ktorý je spoluautorom a hrá a spieva sprievodné vokály na skladbe „White Line Frankenstein“, a Keith Nelson z Buckcherry a Wayne Kramer z MC5, ktorý tiež napísal nové piesne s Alice.
Tracklist:
01. I’m Alice
02. Welcome To The Show
03. All Over The World
04. Dead Don’t Dance
05. Go Away
06. White Line Frankenstein
07. Big Boots

Biely tesák - Audiokniha CD
Číta: Milo Kráľ
V jednom zo svojich najznámenších kultových dobrodužných diel, na ktorých vyrástlo množstvo čitateľov, Jack London pútavo rozpráva o životnom príbehu vlka v drsných podmienkach krásnej, ale drsnej aljašskej divočiny. Hoci zvierací hrdina (audio)knihy Biely tesák pochádza z divočiny chladného a nehostinného severu, musí sa podriaďovať nielen vlčím, ale postupom času i ľudským zákonom. Prichádza do kontaktu s dobrom i zlom v ľudskej podobe, a nachádza si postupne cestu k ľudskému rodu.
Dĺžka nahrávky: 8 hodín a 21 minút

Road Movie
A Tankcsapda tagjai unalmas emberek Debrecenben, az ország kedvenc slágerei egy dunakanyari nyaralóban születnek, a zajos rockturnékat mátrai bringázással a legjobb kipihenni. Van, aki egy tolnai szegénysorról érkezett, és van, aki koncertek után 700 kilo- métert utazik az otthoni fenyvesekig. A Road Movie Album virtuális ország- és világjárás, ismeretlen szemszögből: a Road Movie videóklip-sorozat tíz népszerű hazai zenekara és zenésze mutatja be nekünk azokat a tájakat, amelyekhez a legjobban kötődnek, Rúzsa Magdi vajdasági szülőföldjétől a Hiperkarma Komlóján át a Wellhello Balatonjáig. A Road Movie Magyarország szeretetéről szól. Ismert és kevésbé ismert tájakról, úgy ahogy azt a hozzájuk kötődő magyar zenészek és zenekarok látják. A Road Movie videóklipsorozat dalait és klip- jeit ezek a vidékek ihlették. Ebben az albumban a zenészek azt is elmesélik, hogy mi minden köti őket Fonyódhoz, Domoszlóhoz, Ta- másihoz, Debrecenhez vagy Gyergyószentmiklóshoz. A Road Mo- vie olyan helyeket és élményeket mutat meg, amiket nem biztos, hogy egy turisztikai ajánlóban megtalálunk. Mégis arra csábítanak, hogy induljunk el, és fedezzük fel, ismerjük meg jobban ezeket a tájakat. Jó országjárást!
Shadows Over London
Justice Kasric's world is turned upside down when her father forcibly bundles the entire family into carriages in the middle of the night and carts them off to a strange mansion on the outskirts of London. The Faerie are invading-and the Kasric siblings don't even have a chance to stay neutral, because different members of their family are working for opposite sides. But Justice isn't your average fifteen-year-old girl growing up in Victorian London. She's an irrepressible scoundrel, and she always has a plan. These qualities have ostracized her from the rest of the family before now, but even her older siblings look to her to help them escape. Justice certainly isn't going to stay locked up once she discovers the world of Faerie, especially once she and her siblings discover magical talents they never knew they had.

Lacná kniha Tulák David Grief (-70%)
Osm příběhů z tichomořských ostrovů spojuje postava Davida Griefa, obchodníka se smyslem pro poctivost a právo a muže, který hledá a nachází překvapivá řešení, s nimiž mívá úspěch.
První české vydání Griefových příběhů neslo název Syn Slunce, který vyjadřoval úžasnou přizpůsobivost hrdiny ke žhavému jižnímu slunci a patrně také jeho odolnost vůči tropickým chorobám.
Je skutečně pozoruhodné, jak hluboce americký autor pronikl nejen do světa bílých kolonizátorů, ale také do duší původních ostrovanů - Kanaků. Námětem mu bylo několik tehdy běžných oblastí života, jako pirátství, loupeže i "obyčejné" vykořisťování, hazard, opilství a dokonce i něco, co bychom dnes nazvali tunelováním banky. Většinu takových taškařin ostatně vidíme kolem sebe dodnes...
Snad ještě pozoruhodnější je však porovnání světa bělošské civilizace s kulturou domorodců.. Od úžasného světa plného milostné lásky a radosti až po nesmírně kruté a bezohledné zabíjení, které bylo tehdy ještě spojeno s kanibalstvím. Třeba v příběhu o vtipálcích z.Nového.Gibbonu najdete nejen vtipálky, ale také starého náčelníka jménem Koho, kterýsi zamiloval kořalku a co horšího, nevzdal se starého návyku uřezávat svým nepřátelům hlavy.

London Estates: Modernist Council Housing 1946-1981
The most comprehensive photographic document of the once-utopian London council estate buildings
The UK’s landmark Housing Act of 1919 catalyzed the rapid development of state-owned public housing in planned council estates. Construction of these estates has largely ceased since the Thatcherist austerity policies of the ’80s. Fast-forward a few decades and the estates have met various fates; some council estates are now considered notorious, while others are arguably the most desirable places to live in London.
As the most comprehensive photographic document of the London council estates, this book features 275 estates from the City and every borough. A huge range of architectural styles are represented: from prefabricated and “self-built” schemes to Modernist and Brutalist designs, including over 30 protected historic buildings. There are designs from a broad range of architects, including Denys Lasdun, Erno Goldfinger, Basil Spence and many more. Kate Macintosh’s ziggurat-inspired Dawson’s Heights (1972) shares space with Chamberlin, Powell & Bon’s primary-colored tower Golden Lane Estate (1962). From the paltry to the posh, each estate possesses a fascinating history, and is emblematic of a distinct vision of urban planning. This book celebrates London council estates in all their diversity?championing the neglected alongside the distinguished, and honoring their immeasurable contribution to the social and architectural fabric of the capital.
