Nick Tosches
Spoken word ala Kerouac, Morisson, beat poetry with dreamlike electronica. Spellbinding, dangerous, and different like nothing you have ever heard before... Or ever will again.

Description
Breath from dead places. Gods who dwell in madness. Ancient wisdom and ancient rhythms come back to town in mohair britches. Welcome to Chaldea: place of all dark magic, deep in the lake of the heart; place of resurrection, annihilation, breezes of all that is
forbidden.
Nick Tosches (born 1949) is an American writer, music journalist, novelist, biographer and poet.
After a string of different and unusual jobs, he started writing for music magazines like Creem, Rolling Stone, and Fusion.
His first book, Hellfire, published in 1982, a biography of Jerry Lee Lewis established him as a significant writer on the music scene. His subsequent biographies have covered the lives of Dean Martin, Michele Sindona, Sonny Liston, Emmett Miller (one of the last minstrel singers), and Arnold Rothstein (the man who some say fixed the 1919 World Series, and inspired the character Hyman Roth in The Godfather Part II).
He has also published a collection of poetry, Chaldea, (from which the material for the "For the Taking" album comes.)and the novels: Cut Numbers, Trinities and In the Hand of Dante. The latter is considered, by the author himself, to be his finest work. He has been published in Vanity Fair and Esquire.
His writings have been collected in The Nick Tosches Reader. A must have for Tosches fans.
He is also a contributing editor at Vanity Fair.
