Snowtown killer seen out in public for first time in decades

James Vlassakis is now a relatively free man after 26 years. He’ll be living in the Adelaide Pre-Release Centre for 12 months and was filmed walking out today. Conditions for his parole while staying in the centre include a curfew, drug and alcohol testing, and restricted movements. He also cannot leave the state of South Australia without permission and cannot contact of be in the vicinity of relatives of his victims.

Henry Rollins "Bait Dog Boy: A Memoir" - Book

I hope posts like this are allowed, but I just had this come in my email (I’m Australian, thus the website). Had no idea it was coming, but have already ordered.

Snowtown serial killer James Vlassakis to be released

I knew he was up for parole soon, but I never thought he’d get it. Sure, John Bunting was the main instigator in the ‘Bodies in the Barrels’ case, but Vlassakis was persuaded into murdering his own half-brother. Overall he pleaded guilty to four counts of murder and received a life sentence with a no-parole period of 26 years in a separate trial to the other perpetrators. He’s been paroled almost as soon as he was eligible.

I took the second photo myself, there was metal memorabilia through the restaurant

My collection of rare Ween cassettes

I’ve been a huge Ween fan since I first heard ‘Push th’ Little Daisies’, a bit of a hit when I was growing up in Australia so I had ‘Pure Guava’ blasting on my Walkman daily until ‘Chocolate and Cheese’ came out. Here are some of the more obscure tapes I’ve acquired over the years (the cracks are only in the cases, need to replace some of those):

- God Ween Satan (US 1990) signed by Gener (third pic)
- The Pod (Thailand only, 1995)
- A Chocolate and Cheese Taster (promo/sampler, US 1994)
- Chocolate and Cheese (Thailand only, 1994)
- Chocolate and Cheese (promo, US 1994)
- Voodoo Lady (single, Australia 1994)
- Rent-a-Wreck Presents Ween (promo cassette included when renting a car from Rent-a-Wreck, US 1994)
- 12 Golden Country Greats (Thailand only, 1996)
- The Mollusk (promo with ‘Buckingham Greene’ spelt incorrectly, US 1997)
- Z-Rock Hawaii (US 2020)
