We are bursting with excitement! Coming this Spring from Hat & Beard, ‘My Week Beats Your Year: Encounters with Lou Reed’, compiled by Michael Layne Heath and edited by Pat Thomas. • • • For all his publicly expressed loathing of the press in general and music journalists in particular, during his long career as a rock artist, Lou Reed was never less than entertaining in his dealings with the Fourth Estate. To the majority of his fans, the apotheosis of Reed’s relationship with the press, and most prominently regarded to this day, was the series of combative tête-à-têtes between Lou and the late great music journalist #LesterBangs, published in # CREEM Magazine during the 1970s. This anthology, then, will be one fan’s humble attempt to move beyond the Bangs canon, and delve deeper into the distance and intimacy, cactus and mercury, that constituted Lou‘s post-Velvet Underground, public media image. @loureedofficial #loureed #myweekbeatsyouryear #circusmagazine #rocknroll

It was David Lynch’s birthday last week. We’re a little late but when isn’t a good time to celebrate David Lynch? This spread is from from Beyond the Beyond: Music From the Films of David Lynch*, essay by @jesshundley , with photo of Donovan by @davidablack . Produced in conjunction with David Lynch and published by Hat & Beard Press, Beyond the Beyond explores the use of music and sound in Lynch’s films, as well as his own original music, and draws on the director's personal archives of photographs and ephemera from Eraserhead onward. This volume also features interviews with more than a dozen popular contemporary musicians who performed at the Ace Hotel’s April 2015 benefit for the David Lynch Foundation, including #theflaminglips #duranduran #Moby #SkyFerreira #LykkeLi #KarenO# Donovan #AngeloBadalamenti #JimJames #ChrystaBell #Tennis #TwinPeaks and #ZolaJesus . The book also comes with a companion CD featuring a live recording of the Ace Hotel concert. #davidlynch #donovan #beyindthebeyond #musicofdavidlynch *A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to the David Lynch Foundation .

Last chance! Cerro Gordo is almost sold out. Don’t miss out on owning a copy of this lovely book. Link to buy: http://bit.ly/2nfQJZG • • • Photographer and director, David Black’s exquisite book, Cerro Gordo is a visual study of Los Angeles, California, created over the span of a year. Black was inspired by how the city of Los Angeles was captured in motion pictures of the 1970s and early 1980s. Beautifully produced, the book explores noir themes that cut through L.A.’s sunshine veneer—crafting photographs that examine the complex existence between light and dark, and its role in our modern mythologies. Cerro Gordo visually apprehends Los Angeles’ archetypes and identity in popular culture and exposes the city’s paradoxical bent as a land of dreams and disillusionment. @davidablack #cerrogordo #davidblack #hatandbeardpress #lanoir #losangeles #california #independentpublishing #indiepress #artbooks #biblophile #booklover #printisaliveandwell #printisnotdead #longliveprint #supportsmallbusiness #bookstagram

Tomorrow is the last day to order from Hat & Beard, guaranteed delivery by Christmas. Great gift idea, Pheromone Hotbox, is the 1st monograph from LA–based photographer @amanda_charchian. The book brings together work shot by the artist between 2012 and 2015. Working around the idea of the “Pheromone Hotbox” that occurs when a woman photographs another woman—a title Charchian lent to a 2014 group exhibition at Stephen Kasher Gallery in New York—Charchian photographs her female artist friends nude in dramatic locations across the globe, including in Iceland, France, Costa Rica, Morocco, Israel and Cuba. Simultaneously dreamy and erotically charged, Charchian’s photographs capture the intensity and intimacy of the interaction between artist and model. #pheromonehotbox #amandacharchian #womenphotographwomen #independentpublishing #hatandbeardpress #indiepress #biblophile #booklover #printisaliveandwell #printisnotdead #longliveprint #supportsmallbusiness #bookstagram #stevenkashergallery

‘Serious Things a Go Happen: Three Decades of Jamaican Dancehall Signs’brings together more than 100 original posters and signs from the early 1980s through today, drawn from the poster collection of Jamaican film and television producer and director Maxine Walters. Jamaican dancehall emerged out of reggae in the late 1970s and brought with it a new visual style characterized by bright colors and bold, hand-drawn lettering. Treated by most Jamaicans as simply a fact of life, the dancehall poster has until recently received little careful, critical attention; this volume begins to rectify that with essays by Vivien Goldman, and others, alongside the posters themselves, reproduced one to a page in full color. The limited edition of the book includes a six-color screen printed reproduction dancehall sign on quarter-inch plywood, along with a two-inch nail for hanging. Approximately 123⁄4 × 121⁄4 inches. Edition of 25.
