Love Gun $10.39 Love Gun was Kiss' fifth studio album in three years (and seventh release overall, peaking at number four on Billboard), and proved to be the last release that the original lineup played on. By 1977, Kiss merchandise was flooding the marketplace (lunch boxes, makeup kits, comic books, etc.), and it would ultimately lead to a Kiss backlash in the '80s. But the band was still focused on their music for Love Gun, similar in sound and approach to Rock and Roll Over, their previous straight-ahead rock release. It included Ace Frehley's lead vocals on "Shock Me," as well as one of Kiss' best and most renowned hard rockers in the thunderous title track. The album's opener, "I Stole Your Love," also served as the opening number on Kiss' ensuing tour, while "Christine Sixteen" is one of the few Kiss tracks to contain piano prominently. "Almost Human" is an underrated rocker and features a great Jimi Hendrix-esque guitar solo from Frehley (no doubt due to ex-Hendrix producer Eddie Kramer manning the boards again), while "Plaster Caster" is a tribute to the famous groupies of the same name. The only weak spots on an otherwise stellar album are an obvious "Rock and Roll All Nite" ripoff titled "Tomorrow and Tonight," and a pointless remake of the Phil Spector-penned classic "Then He Kissed Me" (reworked as "Then She Kissed Me"). ~ Greg Prato, Rovi Performers: Ace Frehley - Guitar, Vocals; Gene Simmons - Bass; Paul Stanley - Guitar; Peter Criss - Drums

Japanese Jewelry – Interesting Pieces of Oriental Culture

People all over the world are interested in mysterious things. The more mysterious an object is, the more power and significance it holds and the more people are drawn to it. The reasons for this cannot be established with certainty, but it is true.

It may be because we are surrounded by lots of things to which we cannot find an explanation for. Religion is one way of attributing a meaning to these occurrences, and that meaning is spiritual. Cultures all over the world have been built around something that can give meaning to such occurrences and have developed ways for protection from what can harm us.

The unseen and mystical powers of small objects have been known to fulfill their purpose for the ones that really believe in them. Some of the most mysterious cultures that have ever emerged can be found in the Orient, one particular place in Japan. Small items like Japanese jewelry pieces have been worn by the inhabitants of this country for many generations.

Japanese jewelry pieces have found there inspiration throughout the ages. The country of Japan has a tumultuous past, filled with wars and bloodshed, but also with times of peace, prosperity and art development. These times have been the most rewarding for the generations that followed.

There are many meaningful pieces of Japanese jewelry that introduce us to a spiritual world and great beliefs that cannot be found anywhere else. For example, the Shinto ring is shaped as the entrances into the shrines that bear the same name, a passage into a world of holy spirits that enlightens the wearers about their place in the world and the power they hold.

Another interesting piece of Japanese jewelry is the Buddhi ring. Shaped like the leaves of the ‘Ficus religiosa', this ring has an engraving that cites the book of Ecclesiastes written by King Solomon. This brings out the compassion and modesty out of the wearer in order to become a better person.

The samurai, warriors of ancient time that swore their legence to the emperor and gave their lives to protect him, the ones that fought by sword even when others used gun-fire, serve as inspiration for one of the most popular pieces of jewelry worn in Japan and throughout the world - the tsuba.

The tsuba is the part of the samurai sword that separates the two main components - the grip and the blade - and serves as protection for the wielder's hands. At least that's what it was before it began serving as inspiration for breathtaking Japanese jewelry pieces.

There are lots of artists that have taken the tsuba and created lots of unique designs for jewelry. Including elements from nature, like ants, or paying homage to one of the greatest haiku poets that ever lived, the tsuba can be worn as a pendant with great meaning and hidden powers that can boost one's self confidence.

Quality jewelry is very hard to find, especially handcrafted pieces that encompass all the devotion and belief of their maker. If you are interested in any piece of Japanese jewelry like the ones presented afore, be sure to visit ka-gold-jewelry.com.
