Elliott Smith book by Autumn de Wilde, published in 2007
224 pages
Hardcover
Good condition, like new
With accompanying CD (Live at Largo, unreleased)
1250 pesos
pay via Gcash
location - Diliman QC
-------
Elliott Smith's intensely intimate music and open-hearted, Beatlesque pop songs have left a deep mark on a generation of fans and musicians in the wake of his tragic death in 2003. In Autumn de Wilde's remarkable photographs and conversations with close friends, family, and musicians he inspired, this is the first and only portrait of the beloved and troubled singer/songwriter by those who knew him well. Complementing de Wilde's riveting, personal images are ephemera, handwritten lyrics, and revealing talks with Smith's inner circle, many speaking here for the first time. Also included are a foreword by Beck Hansen and Chris Walla, and a live CD of unreleased solo acoustic performances.
-------------
Included with the book is a five-song CD featuring previously unreleased live recordings of Smith performing acoustically at Club Largo in Los Angeles, CA on April 11, 1998. The track listing is as follows:

"Angeles" (2:59)

"Between the Bars" (2:27)

"Clementine" (2:40)

"Clouds" (Quasi cover) (2:29)

"All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)" (Hank Williams Jr. cover) (3:39)

The Decadent Cookbook by Durian Gray and Medlar Lucan, 1995
Rare book
700 pesos
Preowned
good condition
Includes a recipe called "Manila Hotdog"(interesting, right?)


About the book:
The first in the series, the Decadent Cookbook, is one of the better entries (though not, as some have suggested, the best). Ostensibly in relation to Medlar and Durian’s brief foray into restauranteur territory with the Edinburgh establishment The Decadent (which echoing the reality vs. public “moralistic” image dichotomy daily played out among politicians, elected officials and authority figures everywhere, was quickly shut down by the very luminaries and dignitaries who were its most fervent patrons, forcing our heroes to take flight to parts unknown), we are treated to some truly insane “recipes” which I dare any rational human being to attempt.

The real point of the endeavor, naturally, is to dredge up some hilariously witty tidbits of history and literary scholarship apropos to each mad concoction, charged with an overbearing sense of black humor, sexual allusion, deviant behavior of all stripe, madness, death, and all sorts of good stuff to laugh about in a derisive sense (but much of which would have been horrible to have experienced, particularly in terms of references to the perversities of Ancient Rome or such grim flights of imagination as Mirbeau’s Torture Garden!).
