Beyond The Music: How Punks are Saving the World with DIY Ethics, Skills, & Values (Book) ($15.95)- A book of interviews with exceptional folks who have taken their DIY and punk ethics into adulthood.

Derek M. Johnson- Self-Titled (LP) ($16)- A brilliant album from Olympia cellist Derek M. Johnson. The range between the joyously furious chaos of where it starts and the stop-you-in-your-tracks lush beauty of where it ends is vast, but it works.
D.I.Y. Magic (Book) ($13.95)- Portland author Anthony Alvarado ventures into the realms of everyday magic. He knows the associations, what this sounds like to the skeptic, knows the aversion. And, in this way, he's the best guide we could have for taking a different approach to daily life.

Last Night at the Casino #4 (Zine) ($3)- After a year as a dealer in a casino, Billy's not as easily amused by the shenanigans. But it doesn't keep him from having more stories than ever! A big issue of strange tales and unsent letters.
Paper Bag Radio (Miscellany) ($8)- Within: a 40-page issue of Paper Radio, a paper radio model, a reproduced paper toy from 1921, a CD-R of shortwave and pirate radio transmissions, a mini fiction zine, and a postcard or two. Definitely a lot of fun.
The Pine Hearts- Distant Lights (CD) ($10)- Olympia songwriter Joe Capoccia leads The Pine Hearts, a tight folk/bluegrass band that wears its punk roots on its sleeve. New old time music for guitar, banjo, and mandolin.
Shape & Situate #4: Posters Of Inspirational European Women (Zine) ($5)- Another great issue of this zine which "aims to activate feminist cultural memory, to inspire in the present, and to visually bring women’s social and political history to life and into view."
