*EXCLUSIVE FOREWORD BY WES ANDERSONp>Accidentally Wes Anderson is back with 200 brand new, mind-bendingly beautiful destinations for your bucket list, and the fascinating stories behind each location. You'll visit the 'post office at the end of the world' in Tierra del Fuego - and meet the mustachioed letter carrier who, in his free time, runs an anarchist island micronation called Redonda. You'll travel to a town in the Arctic Circle where cats are not allowed, humans cannot be buried, and a primary attraction is a doomsday vault containing the recipe for the Oreo cookie. And you might just make a stop in lesser-known Jincumbilly, Australia (where there are more platypuses than people).Full of incredible photos of real-life locations that look plucked from the world of Wes Anderson, this book is all about Adventures big and small, everyday and extraordinary, here and way over there. You'll meet some out-of-this-world characters and be left with travel, design and architectural inspiration beyond your imagination. No passport necessary!
Cure
Dear Village Cure $49.99
CureThe Cure's story is a fantastical pop fable, but their trajectory has not been one of unbroken success. Along the way, their uneven, uneasy pop odyssey has taken in fierce intra-band tensions and fall-outs, numerous line-up changes and even a bitter court case that saw original group members feuding over payments and ownership of the band's name.There has been alcoholism, substance abuse and countless long, dark nights of the soul, many of which have been translated into luscious dark-rock symphonies. From gawky teenage art-punks in Crawley to gnomic, venerable rock royalty with 30 million record sales to their name, their journey has been a scarcely believable, vivid pop hallucination.This fully updated edition includes a deep dive into the band's long-awaited 14th studio album released in 2024: Songs of a Lost World.

Pink Floyd
Dear Village Pink Floyd $59.99
Pink Floyd, pioneers of what was once dubbed 'progressive rock' with their extended songs, technical experimentation, challenging lyrics, and spectacular stage presentations, have been hailed as one of the most influential bands in the last half century of popular music. Unlike most bands of the progressive persuasion, Pink Floyd has endured in the public consciousness, via a string of iconic recordings now regarded as timeless classics.Formed in 1965, the four-piece of Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason fused English pastoral whimsy with electrifying instrumental voyages. Their gigs at underground clubs, such as UFO and Middle Earth, are the stuff of psychedelic legend. Barrett's days were numbered, and in 1968 his drug dependency led to his replacement by guitarist David Gilmour, cementing the line-up that would persist through most of the band's career.Fully illustrated throughout, Pink Floyd: Behind The Music is a history of a band molded by the vision of its various members. The band's legacy lies in its recorded work, with their albums - as related in these pages - marking key milestones in their history, each representing something genuinely unique and expanding the landscape of rock music forever.
