Live & Rare $12.99 Reagan Youth: Dave Insurgent (vocals); Paul Cripple (guitar); Al Pike (bass); Steve (drums).Recorded between 1982 & 1988. Includes liner notes by Nicky Garratt.Unlike most CDs with this title, this one is no slipshod, thrown-together, cheap make-a-buck CD. Live & Rare replaces Reagan Youth’s first (good but flawed) album as the real document of one of the better-remembered hardcore bands of early-’80s New York. When they were high schoolers, they regrettably didn’t have their sh*t together to accept an invitation for the seminal 1981 compilation New York Thrash, as befit their emergence as a beloved group on that genuinely fresh scene. But oddly enough, when Al Pike joined on bass and ’60s Who/Jam/Chords fan (such mod leanings were super-rare in N.Y. hardcore!) Steve Weissman took over the drums, they actually became a far more powerful and aggressive unit, twice the previous power. So it matters that Live & Rare is dedicated exclusively to the Pike/Weissman era (a little more than a year) and wisely compiles the best of five 1983 CBGB gigs and a few studio cuts when the band peaked. In contrast to their passable (but not as loud or smashing) studio work, this live stuff smokes as it should from the memory of these hot, sweaty, packed-in, wild, afternoon gigs. This takes you back! Whew! Although you’re deprived of the sight of charismatic, hyper-friendly, garrulous, big-eyed, oddly innocent, but somehow also super-intense frontman Dave Insurgent (whose descent into narcotics took the band down, then tragically took his life), his personality still drives this car. Perhaps the anti-system lyrics seem na?ve to the more “why bother” youth of today, but his irrepressible spirit was symptomatic of when everyone believed punk to be the true protest music of its time (and hand in hand, the true hot rock & roll of the period!) in that post-Watergate, Reagan-led era, a position history has validated and vindicated. Reagan Youth weren’t the best or the brightest in punk or hardcore, but like the other greats of 1982, they had a certain something — real belief, real distaste, and real camaraderie — and with the right band/attack this time, it’s exciting once more to hear. ~ Jack Rabid |

Extra Large Jewelry Box embellished with the Exotic Kewazinga Wood
A extra large jewelry box is an absolute must if you are finding it difficult to keep track of your precious jewelry. It can be very frustrating when you are all dressed up and You Can’t find that particular bracelet or earrings that will go perfectly with your dress.
Sorting out all your jewelry and keeping them in a single jewelry box will save you a lot of time and relieve unwanted stress. But don't rush into getting an unwieldy ugly wooden box that does absolutely nothing for your room's decor. There are many exquisitely designed handmade extra large jewelry boxes you can select from. Some of these boxes have exquisitely inlaid wood work (marquetry) using rare and exotic wood like the Kewazinga.
Getting an entire box carved out of Kewazinga can be a really expensive proposition. Instead you could go in for boxes made from commonly available but sturdy wood like rubber wood, and embellished with intricate marquetry work. These boxes go very well with the decor by blending in with the furniture and enhancing the look of your dresser.
The Kewazinga, generally known as the Bubinga, has several names like Kewazingo, Akume, Eban, and even African Rosewood, which is strange as it is not a rosewood. The most common of the several of its Latin names are 'Guibourtia tessmannii' and 'Guibbourtia demeusei'. It hails predominantly from Western Africa and some parts of Central Africa. Gaboon, Cameroon, and the Congo are the largest producers of this wood.
It is a wavy figured, lustrous, narrow-grained hardwood that can be cut quite easily into logs that are both wide and long. Each cut of the wood reveals a totally exclusive pattern like the 'Flame Effect'. Each board could be as long as 16 inches and as wide as 35 inches! You can hear a clear musical tone when you strike a Bubinga log, which makes it ideal for making musical instruments like the harp.
It has a beautifully shimmering rose colored background that turns reddish copper as it ages and is accentuated with streaks of deep violet. In fact, it gives the impression of being multi-shaded with purple overtones. The wood definitely darkens and changes color with time.
The hardwood is resistant to termites and preservatives as opposed to the sapwood, which is definitely more susceptible. Care should be taken while sanding the wood as the dust can cause serious skin allergies just like other exotic woods.
A jewelry box embellished with marquetry with the Kewazinga wood adds class and charm to your room, and enhances the beauty of your jewelry.
