    It's the book and the first 250 orders (ss gets first access) get a promo 45 which is in the style of the 70's exploito radio ads, with an instrumental (with breakz) on the flip side.

    I feel like I pre-ordered this years ago or something.

    Do I need to sign up again?
  • 4YearGraduate4YearGraduate 2,945 Posts
    yeah, we aren't going to take orders until they are in boxes ready to ship, but rest assured everyone here will get first pick.

    This is just a teaser, official thread/links should be up in a week or two.

    Plaese to explain more, i am intrigued.
    Is this, by any chance, the book (or author) that was excerpted way back in one of the first wax po mags? Sort of this weird stream of consciousness / digger speak writing?

    Soulstrut born and raised project - a collaboration of 4 posting members and of course, the man himself, Author Alan (NZ Shadow) Simpson:

    After a series of failed relationships, burnout Alan Simpson unwittingly accepts a job that will change his life forever: porn store clerk in Sydney???s thriving red light district.

    In this stark and honest memoir, Simpson documents the final days of the 90???s porn shop heyday as it unsuspectingly teeters on the verge of internet obsolescence. With a flair for wit and the ability to casually describe even the most bizarre circumstances, Alan Simpson captures every ounce of humor, sadness and inconceivable deviance in a world where junkies, hookers and johns are heroes and seemingly upstanding citizens foray with abysmal intents.

    The original thread was taken down.

    There have been several other threads about the pending book process.

    The original thread, IIRC, was Have You Ever Been In A Porn.
    OF course must people here had been so there were a few stories.
    Then NZ Shadow blew the whole thing up and started serializing his life story.
    People quickly realized that a book was needed and the thread was taken down to protect the book.

    At least that's how I remember it. Might be it was a Have You Ever Basted A Turkey thread. Nothing to do with porn or NZ's life. WDIK?

    NZ, you should do an IAMA on Reddit to promote this when it comes out, they love this sort of thing over there. There have even been a few kindred jizzmop handlers tell their stories on there already.

    coincidentally i??ve stumbled across the mail with the "the pit" excerpt from march??11 just the other week and after reading it again i wondered what ever happened to this project? really great to know that now this will finally see the light of day, now looking forward big time to read the whole thing!

    also, will the announcement be only on here or will the ones that signed up way before get notified by mail too when it??s finally up for grabs?

    I remember telling some friends who are not interested in records to visit Soulstrut for this thread and getting a lot of haters' responses because it wasn't actually there. I think the book will make a great present - and I get to keep the seven inches...
