I usually check out anything in the bins that has an OBI, but this one specifically caught my eye. This was before I was full on into scores/soundtracks, but it was still something I hadn't seen before. It's re-recordings of tracks from various movies staring Charles Bronson and Alain Delon...but I couldn't leave it there with this awesome cover art.

Domenic Palermo had his brush with the law.
From the Wikipedia page:
Following his stint in jail and done with performing in punk bands, Palermo spent a long time soul-searching. He has said, "I didn't know what else to do with my life, what would make me want to wake up every day. I really struggled with that for like four years and, not to sound dramatic or anything, but I thought about blowing my brains out every day". Palermo eventually began making music again, and released a demo, Poshlost, under the name "Nothing" in 2011.
