Blood Red River 1982-1984
$27.49
This sounds like a bar band who has had way too much to drink and wants to sing odes to all their influences, Suicide, the Cramps, Raw Power era Stooges, even Elvis (by way of Suicide). Lyrics like "This is my happy hour. If you want to be sad go somewhere else" seperates this from the dirge like post punk of the early Birthday Party but takes it above the over-rated Radio Birdman. Foetus are a hell of a lot scarier. Still, I'll take the Scientists over the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion any day. Just don't forget your fake i.d. when you go to the bar.

Swampland: Birth of the Scientists
$18.98
2008 collection of early recordings from the Australian Punk/Swamp Blues band taken from their legendary Blood Red River recordings. Also includes a handful of previously unreleased 1982 live recordings. Formed in Perth, Australia, but later to relocate to Melbourne and then London, Kim Salmon's Scientists' brand of Punk Blues saw them become legends on at least three continents. The packaging includes a mammoth essay on the band's history written by Alex Ogg, with full co-operation and humorous asides from Kim, plus photos and memorabilia. Cherry Red.

The Great Global Warming Swindle (DVD)
$19.99
OK, and what caused the global warming cycles in the past? Auto emissions thousands, and millions of years ago? Over and over?

They are weather cycles and man had nothing to do with them. Man wasn't even here for most of them.

Let's keep the science with the scientists and away from politicians.

Great Scientists (DK Eyewitness Books)
$15.99
This book has just the right amount of information to supplement our science curriculum. It is also a great way to spark an interest in the many different scientists and their work listed in this book. My son loves science and together we have really enjoyed this book. My older daughter has also found it really helpful. It is great for children of all ages and adults will find it interesting too. I give it four stars instead of five because it is missing a few scientists that I would have liked to see but all the most famous and a few lesser known are here.
