Underground journalist RYAN BARTEK unleashes long-awaited
road book “THE BIG SHINY PRISON” as FREE PDF
-- direct download via http://www.mediafire.com/?bxmozxt4jom --
Above is the FREE PDF
download link to Ryan Bartek’s long-anticipated road book/music
journalism expose “THE BIG SHINY PRISON,” covering all forms of extreme
metal, punk, industrial, experimental, rock, electronic, psychedelia,
etc.
This
book is packed with interviews – from Brutal Truth to Millions of Dead
Cops, Impaled to DWARVES, Repulsion to Cephalic Carnage. AxCx to Pig
Destroyer, Kylesa to STALAGGH, Genghis Tron to Abysmal Dawn &
beyond. Even USA President Barack Obama makes the most bizarre
appearance of his entire career. Yet that’s just scraping the surface
& below you will find a comprehensive list of appearances.
The
following statement comes directly from the author: “My name is Ryan
Bartek. For the past 3 years I’ve sacrificed everything for the
successful completion of this project. I spent a year on the road,
another year completing & shopping it, and another year of total
rejection. It is only karmically fitting that both the demise of
magazine & book publishing come in one fell swoop.
I
was never in it for the money, nor the aspect of celebrity. I have
spent an upwards of $10,000 on it, which I remark only to underline my
absolute sincerity. No one would deny its quality -- but the raw nature
of the work, as well as its excessive length, made it impossible to
pigeon hole or successfully shop. Nothing quite like it has ever
surfaced, at least not in the format I’ve undertaken.
After
this seemingly endless struggle, I have decided to offer it to the
public domain. While I retain the copyright/trademark, I both encourage and support file
sharing. It is my only wish that this manuscript be circulated &
appreciated. Perhaps when all is said and done, someone might offer a
physical print run.
“THE BIG SHINY PRISON” can be downloaded
at the following link: http://www.mediafire.com/?bxmozxt4jom
If you cannot view a PDF file, either I or June Mansfield from Anomie PR
will resend it as an MS Word Document or RTF File upon request.
If
anyone wishes to circulate this PDF to their contacts, I hereby give
full permission. If anyone runs a zine or label and wants to post the
PDF on your site, I also endorse this action.

If anyone should so kindly post this announcement on their news blog,
review the book, or send interview questions, I’d also be much appreciative.
Since there is no “official release” slated as of yet, the “time-sensitive” aspect of promotion is rendered moot (i.e. whenever you feel like getting around to it).
Also available for download are the front cover and promotional logo.

I wrote this book to prove that no answer is ever “the answer,” and that all of us – no matter our vocation – are part of something larger then we might ever consider. “THE BIG SHINY PRISON” is my ultimate thesis.
Readers
may be horrifically alienated/insulted by the views of some in this
book. I endorse none but my own, and I think it’s fairly obvious where
I stand. Anyone who knows me well enough realize that if I “explain the joke”
then the jokes not funny. In “BSP,” I am relegated to the status of a
ping-pong ball gathering information. I am a clown, land pyrate &
gutter philosopher – nothing more.”
That much said, welcome to “THE BIG SHINY PRISON.”
Cordially,

PRAISE FOR RYAN BARTEK’S “THE SILENT BURNING” (2005)
“One of the most interesting, and perhaps honest, books of the last decade." -- 1340MAG.com
“This
deeply personal memoir, one of many, as well as his views on racism,
abortion, and drugs speak volumes about Bartek’s ability to analyze
society from the perspective of someone who isn’t from the privileged
class. From his disadvantageous upbringing, he has developed a brutal
style of analysis, buttressed by an in-depth knowledge about
innumerable subjects, qualifying him to speak for his generation… An
opus that would send Freud to the asylum, if not straight to hell.”
–The Satanic Inquisition
“In
many ways, ‘The Silent Burning’ reads like a counter-culture manifesto,
an underground guide to the rebellion. Paranoia, anger and
self-preservation guide Ryan Bartek’s decrees, which he operates in the
same clobbering, sarcastic vein of Kerouac as he does Chuck D. Bartek
rants to his hearts content, and his heart is blackened like the
underbelly of hell.” - PIT Magazine
“The
reader is a visitor at his or her own risk; Bartek slams you upon
entering and like the ball in a pinball machine you are flicked
aggressively from heartrending childhood story to barely coherent hate
filled manifesto to disjointed poem to intelligently articulated
commentary… This book is for those who are simmering with the anger of
repression and persecution, and for those who want to understand them
without judging. It also touches those of us who maintain a less
hostile attitude towards society, but are just as disgusted with the
mainstream version of reality.”
–Clamor Magazine
“Bartek’s
voice isn’t gentle, easy, or subtle. ‘The Silent Burning’ is a
postmodern polemic, a schizophrenic society, and an hyper charged
imagination reflected in a funhouse mirror, populated by a narrator
looking for something approaching understanding, but finding a
head-on-collision with the world instead. ‘The Silent Burning’ is what
you’d get if you had a literary cage grudge match to the death between
Henry Miller, Lautreamont, Louis-Ferdinand Celine, and Kathy Acker.
You’re left with blood on the floor and screams ringing in your ears-
but also a great deal of truth, if you can stand to look at it.” –JAM
RAG
“I
was incredibly moved by this work. A very brave piece on Bartek’s part,
as it attacks the mass media and our society in such an honest and
straight forward fashion, that it would be practically impossible for
any major publishing house to push the book without cutting half of it
completely out… His words swell like flames on the underbelly of the
American lie… Hands down, this is one of the most important readings of
the 21st Century. Practically functioning as a bi-polar survival guide
for anyone that operates outside of the ‘norm,’ and a must-have for all
that find themselves active in the underground.” –Solution13.net
“Bartek’s writing is like a welding of Alan Ginsberg and Bukowski... Inflammatory...” – Outsight Radio
“Written
from a bi-polar viewpoint, ‘The Silent Burning’ encompasses everything
we as a society find obscene, distasteful and just plain wrong. Follow
me here - a book written during the height of a manic depressives worst
battles, a book written at the lowest point of one mans bipolar
syndrome, a book written during the recovery process -- all put in
words and written as self-therapy.” –TVTRANZMISSION.com
“Comprised
largely of fragments written in a variety of different styles, Bartek’s
predominant form is the rant – the preferred mode of lunatics,
psychotics, drug fiends, and confused angsty teens. He aims his gun at
the usual targets – television, racism, organized religion,
conservatives, liberals, rednecks, freaks, junkies, yuppies, rapists,
pro-lifers and losers – beneath sectional subheadings such as ‘Bob
Saget Raping the Olson Twins on PCP;’ a ranting that is by its very
nature as inconsistent as it is somehow endearing in its callousness…
While there is a lot wrong with this book, not the least of which is
the author’s self-diagnosis masquerading as a climax – a bit too
pathetically American for my tastes – what pisses me off most of all is
the fact that it’s barely available…” -The Prague Literary Journal
”A Misanthropik Monument of Hatred, Pain, and Disgust.” –STALAGGH
