Distro Update

Welcoming...
2013 Eberhardt/Justseeds Organizer (Large Size Planner) ($10)- A large size version of this perennial bestseller. A collaboration between the Justseeds Artists' Cooperative and our go-to printer extraordinaire, Eberhardt Press.
2013 Eberhardt/Justseeds Organizer (Pocket Size Planner) ($7.50)- the handy pocket size, like ones from previous years. Beautiful art all over the inside of both sizes, with a clean and easy layout.
2013 The Blanketworld Wall Calendar (Calendar) ($15)- an infinitely fun wall calendar. Full of Serra Sewitch-Posey's hand-painted comic characters, with each month set in Oregon scenes.
The Caring Babies- Gold Friends (7") ($5)- Gloriously off-kilter synth pop songs. Four songs that make you feel like a wizard is manipulating a cassette tape in the 1980's.
Foxdye- Infinite Mystery Forever (12" EP) ($11)- Five songs that blend the breakcore side of Foxdye and the ambient side of Foxdye into intricately-composed IDM anthems.
Hi! I Love You! Thanks for Moving Here!: A Guide to Oakland and Berkeley (Zine) ($1)- A tiny guide for those moving to, or visiting, the East Bay.
J.O.C.K.- No Assumptions (Cassette Tape) ($5)- Members of Meconium, RVIVR, and many other awesome bands. In-your-face queer punk.
Margy Pepper- Golden Webs (12" LP) ($11)- The new album from long-running Olympia garage pop band. Songs that are hard-hitting while still being infectiously catchy, inspirational without being soft.
Nuts! #10 (Newsprint Zine) ($3)- Another beautiful newsprint poster issue of Nuts. A Grass Widow poster, and much more.
Peaches & Bats (Literary Journal/Zine) ($5)- An extra special issue (before it goes on hiatus for a while) of the literary journal, Peaches & Bats.
Rap Class- Greatest Hits (Cassette Tape) ($6)- Recontextualized, soul-infused cut-ups that are addicting and smile-inducing. This is the kind of tape you let flip over and over.
Sans Titre et Sans Reproche, Issue 1 (Photography Zine) ($10)- A French photography zine of the interesting and the weird. Perfect for fans of Hamburger Eyes.
Shotgun Seamstress Zine Collection (Book) ($18)- The collected works of a truly great zine, made even greater by this beautiful book from Mend My Dress Press.
Turntable Operator #3 (Zine) ($4)- This is the issue where Turntable Operator really comes into its own. My favorite part of this is its interview with Mike Dixon of Olympia's own specialty vinyl label People In a Position to Know Records! It's also the most personal thing that I've ever read from DJ Frederick. From getting through his recent Bell's Palsy condition to how he really feels about cats.

Until next time,
