SynopsisCruises through popular British culture of the 1960s and 1970s by way of a collection of eclecti, illustrated essays. With an emphasis on the 'throwaway' world of sex, drugs, movies, comics and rockn'roll, Glam and Gutter are explored in detail, courtesy of an occasional surprising diversion... From cliched hippies to nonconformists, through trend-crushing youth movements to pop stars in bad horror movies and prog rock, nothing is safe from the crushed velveteen grasp of Psychedelic Decadence., Based in New Jersey, Factory2000 make low-budget exploitation films which inhabit a place removed from the traditional realms of cut-price sex and violence. Courtesy of exclusive interviews, on-set reports and film reviews, Headpress 22 investigates these highly controversial asphyxiation-fetish filmmakers, whose most recent effort-Duck! The Carbine High Massacre-resulted in their arrest. Also included are interviews with James Ellroy, gay pornographer Bruce La Bruce, tasteless impersonator Dead Elvis, and porn star-cum-brother girl Jeannie Rivers., Cruises through popular British culture of the,1960s and 1970s by way of a collection of eclecti,illustrated essays.
