New for August!


NEW
8-Track Mind #102- Russ Forster/Various Artists (Zine) ($3)
8-Track Mind never fails to disappoint and has the ability to make you think about something as seemingly simple as music formats as something expansive, something that carries over into other aspects of life. It even includes an essay from our own Joshua James Amberson.
The Body is a Wild Wild Thing- Tomas Moniz (Zine) ($3)An exploration of the body, one part at a time.Written as poems, but reading more like vignettes or small essays about how complicated it is just to exist in your own frame.
Bury Me Into the Mtn- Eleanor Murray (CD) ($10)
Recorded in a renovated church during a windstorm, with members of Mount Eerie serving as her backing band. An album that's completely unique while also being totally accessible.Give a listen!

Ideas of normalcy and their relationship to ideas of beauty are explored by Olympia writer Alice W.Get Out- Dogbreth (7") ($4) 
A four song 7" from Phoenix's Dogbreth. With healthy nods to Superchunk and Good Luck, these are four catchy pop punk/power pop anthems.

A down-to-earth, easy to use, and (best of all) inspiring guide for getting to work on your creative projects.

Living Cooperatively in Intentional Community- Dan Copulsky (Zine)

Mood Music- Upside Drown (CD) ($12)
A gorgeous CD release of the Mood Music album (previously available only on cassette).
Offerings of Grace & Mischief- Rachel Lee-Carmen (Zine) ($3)
