BOYD RICE

STANDING IN TWO CIRCLES: THE COLLECTED WORKS OF BOYD RICE

(edited by Brian M. Clark)

 

Who is Boyd Rice? (actual quotes)

 

"Boyd Rice is a black pimp."
–Charles Manson

 

 "Boyd was my mentor."
–Marilyn Manson  

"Boyd is an iconoclast!"
–Anton LaVey, Church of Satan

 "Boyd Rice has crossed over into the realm of being a pop icon, not unlike Andy Warhol, Tiny Tim, or Charles Manson. His face is like a corporate logo synonymous with a specific type of worldview. When you see Boyd it's as though you're gazing upon the Golden Arches or the Swastika. Or both."
–Shaun Partridge, The Partridge Family Temple 

STANDING IN TWO CIRCLES is the first definitive and comprehensive compendium of the works of BOYD RICE, one of the most provocative and controversial underground figures of the post-punk era. A pioneering noise musician and countercultural maven, from the late 1970s to the present Rice has worked in an array of capacities, playing the roles of: musician, performer, artist, photographer, essayist, interviewer, editor, occult researcher, filmmaker, actor, orator, deejay, gallery curator and tiki bar designer, among others. First coming to prominence as an avant-garde audio experimentalist (recording under the moniker NON), Rice was a seminal founder of the first wave of industrial music in the late 1970s. In the 1980s, through collaborations with Re/Search Publications, Rice further established his position in the underground with recountings of his uproarious pranks and the promotion of “incredibly strange” cult films and “industrial” culture. Rice’s influence on subculture was further exerted through his vanguard exhibition of found photographs and readymade thrift store art, as well as his adamant endorsements of outsider music, tiki culture and bygone pop culture in general. Rice is also notorious for his public associations with nefarious figures both infamous and obscure, including friendships and ideological collusions with the likes of cult leader Charles Manson and Church Of Satan founder Anton LaVey, among others. His work continues to profoundly affect the countercultural underground at large, inspiring and enraging in equal measure. 

STANDING IN TWO CIRCLES includes over 30 provocative essays on subjects ranging from Mondo Films to Charles Manson, Savitri Devi to the Hellfire Club, Cocktail Culture to African Atrocities, and from Abraxas to Rape. Of the 33 essays contained herein, 11 appear here for the first time ever. Of the remaining 22 previously published texts contained in this volume, most are revised, updated and expanded from their original versions.

ALSO INCLUDES THE COMPLETE LYRICS and ART & PHOTOGRAPHY (38 original plates)!

FINALLY… please note that availability vs. demand has convinced us to consolidate and/or move certain sections around the store.  For instance, if you’re looking for the city’s best selection of used T. Lobsang Rampa paperbacks, please ask the cashier to direct you to their new home (pssst… for some reason, it’s next to Robert Anton Wilson).  All of this mobilization is to better serve your needs!
