  Sugar Gravy Pleasure - An Indie...

  In a city once voted "Worst Place to Live in the UK," an unlikely musical revolution took place. SUGAR, GRAVY, PLEASURE tells the story of the Sugar Club, Peterborough's legendary alternative music venue that became a haven for misfits, music lovers, and anyone who didn't quite fit in elsewhere.
  Pete Elderkin's memoir chronicles his journey from playing in local indie band The Pleasureheads to creating one of the UK's longest-running alternative club nights. Through the evolving musical landscapes of grunge, Britpop, and nu metal, the Sugar Club offered a safe space where people could dress how they wanted, dance how they liked, and hear music that wouldn't be played anywhere else in town.
  With a colourful cast of characters including loyal doormen, eccentric DJs, amorous couples under the piano, and a mysterious regular who disappeared into the "Fenland Bermuda Triangle," this is more than just a story about music – it's a celebration of community, friendship, and the power of creating your own culture when none exists. From dodging skinheads and navigating bomb scares to hosting early performances by soon-to-be-famous bands, Elderkin captures both the chaos and the camaraderie of running an alternative club in a provincial city.
  Written with humour and heart, SUGAR, GRAVY, PLEASURE is an unapologetic tribute to working-class culture, alternative music, and the magical moments that happen when like-minded people find their tribe. It's a reminder that sometimes the best nights of our lives happen not in the big cities, but in the places where we have to make our own entertainment.

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
  Joseph Campbell was more than a scholar—he was a storyteller of the human soul, a guide through the myths that shape our lives, and a seeker of the eternal truths hidden within every culture. His words resonate not just as academic insight, but as living wisdom, illuminating the path for those who dare to follow their bliss. 
  This audiobook is not merely a collection of quotes; it is an invitation—to embark on the Hero’s Journey, to see the patterns that unite all myths, and to recognize the divine adventure unfolding within your own life. Campbell’s insights draw from the ancient and the modern, the East and the West, weaving a tapestry of meaning that transcends time and place. 
  Through his words, we discover that mythology is not a relic of the past, but a mirror reflecting our deepest desires, fears, and aspirations. We are reminded that every struggle, every trial, and every transformation is part of a universal story—one that we are all living. 
  Let these words be a guide. Whether you are standing at the threshold of your own adventure, searching for deeper meaning, or simply seeking inspiration, Campbell’s voice echoes through time to remind us: 
  "Follow your bliss, and doors will open where there were only walls." 
  Now, let the journey begin. 
  This audiobook includes an "ambient version" set to meditative music for your listening pleasure.

  Our Vietnam Wars Volume 1 - as...

  Want to know what Vietnam was really like? This is not another war book. These are the personal stories of 100 veterans, ordinary men and women, black and white, real stories from real people in their own words who were caught up in an all too real war. From the Delta to the DMZ, from 1965 to 1975, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Australian, and New Zealanders, come walk in their boots.  
  The Vietnam War dominated my generation and affected so many lives in so many different ways. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some became war heroes, intentional or not, but most were just trying to survive. As we all knew, Vietnam was all about luck, good or bad.  
  And there were hundreds of different wars depending on where you were, the year you were there, your service, branch, unit, rank, job, and race. But whether we were truck drivers, nurses, helicopter pilots, infantryman, clerk typists, medics, engineers, MPs, sailors out on Yankee station, artillerymen, or cooks, from 1956 to 1976 from the Delta to the DMZ, these stories tell who we were, the jobs we did, our memories of that time and place, how it changed us, and what we did after we came home. 
   That's the diversity of experience you'll find in this book. If you were there, you understand. If you weren't, grab a copy and you will. The stories are like Doritos. Try a few and you won't be able to stop.
