Christina Antipa- The Royal We (CD)
Ten dollars.
I like this album SO MUCH. It is fantastic. From old folk-style ballads to drum machine cowgirl tales, this album has such good variety, but is totally cohesive. As if Ms Antipa's voice and talent wasn't enough, this album also features guest musicianship by some of our favorites: Olie Eshelman (Corespondents), Shenandoah Davis (Grand Hallway), plus a fabulous duet with Mr Jordan O' Jordan Smith.
Christina Antipa- Beautiful Place
Eaves of Ass #6 (Zine)
Three dollars.
While most zinesters don’t get recognized outside the zine community, essays from Eaves of Ass’ music issue made it into 2008’s Best American Music collection.
And with good reason.
Craven Rock’s music writing is not some dry analysis of music or bands or albums, it's about the great many ways our lives connect to music and how the stories of our lives can connect back to a song, a band, a concert; how a piece of music can define a period of your life. Highly recommended.
Ilse Content Vol. 8 (Zine)
Four dollars.
Six years running, Ilse Content is an institution. All the charm of Doris, style for miles, prose that has a child-like wonder of the world that is always profound and reminds us how much amazing stuff we look past everday.
This issue is a lot about keeping yourself well emotionally; poetic recipes for staying happy, reasons to feel good, an overwhelmingly good attitude you can't deny.
DIY Guide to Drums (Book/CD)
Fifteen dollars.
Currently Out of Stock, Will Ship When We Get More

This spiralbound book is the perfect blend of unintimidating and highly informative; you might actually learn to play drums with this book. It also comes with a CD to help you along.
The Nextdoor Neighbors- Magic Vs. The Machine (CD)
Twelve dollars.
Hands down, this is one of the best (and best designed) albums of the last year. In my mind, there's no question. I finally got to see them live recently and hipsters, hip hop heads, and hippies hit the dance floor with equal glee. And they just rip up their synths, it's great. These girls are so going places.
Nextdoor Neighbors "Magic Vs The Machine"
Ladyz in Noyz (3XCD)

Five dollars.

Google Maps- Different Attitudes for Different Latitudes (CD)
Eight dollars.
The powers of Bob Schwenkler (Bicycle Records, Palisades, etc) and Jackson Tegu (indie game creating extraordinaire) combine to create wonderfully nerdtastic "lite math rock."

Google Maps- Crane Years
VA- Biting on Ravecore (12")
Thirteen dollars.

Polka Dot Dot Dot "Wicker Frames"
Jordan O' Jordan- Carbon Cycles (CD or 12")
Ten dollars (for CD).
Fifteen dollars (for 12").
Ah, the charm of Jordan O Jordan, there's really nothing quite like it. Expect group sing-alongs, banjo ballads, geeky science references...you really can't go wrong.

Karl Blau "Arco Iris Alredador de La Luna"
Funwater Awesome #3 (Zine)
Four dollars.
This zine just gets better and better. Zach Mandeville is officially one of my favorite writers doing zines. This issue has excerpts from late 1800's Funwater history, a chapter from Zach's new chapter book, wonderfully funny reviews of where to get candy in Funwater, and so much more. Some moments of this gave me those amazing kind of laughs that come from reading a David Sedaris book.
Firs of Prey- Keep the Lions Asleep (12")
Ten dollars.
Portland's Firs of Prey (of Datura Blues) make wonderful folk that sounds old-time-ish (without being trite), has great harmonies, and just makes you feel kinda good (without being really all that happy). This 12" five song ep is beautiful, has a hand-etched B-side and comes with a digital download.
Firs of Prey "Sooner Than Later"

A large-sized compilation zine dealing with issues of race, activism, gender politics and more.

Buckets of Bile- A Sign
Polka Dot Dot Dot- Spring of Alchemy and Amory (7")

Eaves of Ass #7
Three dollars.
Brand new issue! In the vein of new journalism, Craven reports from the homefront- driving a cab for a yuppie golf tournament when the economy starts to crash, trying to get into a high-paying drug study, storms hitting...the first in his series Promise & Theft, which looks at the current state of the American Dream.
Foxdye- Nothing to Lose But My Stomach (CD + Zine)
Ten dollars.
Is it breakcore? Cuddlecore? Seizurecore? Ms Foxdye makes music that makes you want to spaz out, laugh, swoon...and occasionally make fart sounds with your mouth. She is the loveliest. Hand silk screened packages, stenciled cd, and a zine inside. So good. Review.
Foxdye "Foxdyechek Collision"
Annabeth- Extra Orchard (CD)
Eight dollars.
I recently saw Annabeth play with the Cicada Sound Collective and was totally smitten with her song writing; wonderfully hypnotic songs that explore the personal as political concept so well, not to mention a totally beautiful voice...good stuff.
Annabeth "House of Cards"
Letters- Insta (Cassette)

twenty-two improvised compositions for guitar, cello, synthesizer, charango, harp, acoustic bass, toy piano, ukulele, psultry, melodica, banjo, singing tube, trumpet, junk drum kit, voice, violin, and triangle.

Invisible River- ST (CD)
Ten dollars.
Ben Kamen combines with the likes of Andrew Dorsett (LAKE, Desolation Wilderness), Markly Morrison (LAKE, Number Bear), and Evan Hashi (Twig Palace), to create an album that's so intensely good- swells, loose drums, subtle brilliance from start to finish.
Invisible River "Wait and See"
Black Tail Dear- Demos (CD)
Five dollars.Black Tail Dear is uncommonly good piano epic magic; it's hard not to be entranced. This is a short collection of demos to whet our appetites while waiting for zer first solo album. Each cd comes with its own unique, handmade cover (exciting!).
Black Tail Dear "Into the River Long"
Yes Please- For Now For Then For Them (CD)
Twelve dollars.
There is nothing quite like Lily Yes Please. She does what most full bands can only dream of doing- with just her guitar, her lungs and a loop pedal. She drops jaws. This, her first full length, is ridiculously addicting. Sometimes lush and orchestrated, sometimes sparse and quiet, this is the kind of album that never leaves your cd player.
Yes Please "Smoothie"
Magick Orchids- The East Shall Shake The West Awake (CD)
Five dollars.
42 minutes of improvised, hard-hitting live electronics and crazy good noise/jazz saxophone (and i don't normally describe a saxophone as crazy good) from L.A.'s Magick Orchids. Siren/NY post-punk female vocals meets Muslimgauze-reincarnated hypnotism. Awesome.
Gumar and his Magical Midi Band (CD)
Eight dollars.
The debut cd from Olympia/Portland super(magical)group. Catchy, electro-dance-pop. Released on Scream Club's Crunks Not Dead Records.
Gumar and his Magical Midi Band "The Momentum"
Digital release ($5):
Eleanor Murray- For Cedar (CD)
Ten dollars.
Eleanor has some kind of magic power. I once saw her play a show that had turned into a rager and, with no mic and an acoustic guitar, hypnotize and completely silence the whole room. This is her power. She's the kind of artist people listen to her one-mic-in-a-room demo for years and wonder when a studio album is going to come out. Well, it finally came out...and it is fantastic.
Eleanor Murray "Electric Sky"
Sticks and Stones: A Compilation of Independent Electronic Artists (CD)
Six Dollars.
Across-the-board styles from the most innovative independent northwest artists.
Tracks from RT-140S, DJ Ocelot, House of Shards, Beautiful Addicts, Myello, Cagliostro, NuSusa, Desolation Wilderness, Twoprong, Thee Bad Pioneer, Science Fact, Gumar, 33 Degree Shower, Versus None, Pitch Tar, RM.CLR, Hannah Commodore, and Nezitick.

Beautiful Addicts "Mother Father Daughter"
Resume of Charm #10 (Zine)
Two dollars.
This newest issue of Ms Warhola's lovely Resume of Charm is perhaps my favorite so far. Little vignette stories, ranging from "Ms Southern Oregon" to "Electric Virgin" from "Zizek" to "Songbird Migration."
Ilse Content Vol 5 (Zine)
Three dollars.
There are some issues of zines that I consider classics: Glossolia #4, In Yr Room #11, Cometbus #46, and Ilse Vol 5. When it came out, everyone seemed to have a copy. It's the one I've seen more than any of her other issues in stores, coffee tables and zine racks over the years. There's good reason this one got around; it's simple, beautiful and everybody love letters and photographs.
GunMothers Head- Her Husband Didn't (Tape)
Five dollars.
GunMothers Head makes such raw, powerful music, it should be cult-ish. With just guitar and vocals, the music he creates can be desperate, full of feedback and power, or it can soft, understated, ominous, and sometimes sweet.
Gunmothers Head "Snow and Gold"
Letters- In Case We Lose What We Have (CD)
Five Dollars.
An introduction, ten acts, and five intermissions preparing for the possible loss of what we have. Guitar, cello, voices, and a ton of little instruments. Indie-chamber-folk, perhaps. Fensepost review.
Letters "You Make Me Feel (Like the Island I'm Not)"
OR! In Case We Lose What We Have (digital/mp3 version) ($3)
Sweet Potatoes and Friends (CD)
Eight dollars.Jenny (Sweet Potatoes) Asarnow is a one woman show of hypnotizing vocal layers, percussion, field recordings, and kazoo. It is wonderful. On this cd she is joined by the dynamic likes of Johnny Goss and Ola Hungerford (AKA, Cock and Swan) and ace guiatrist R.B. Reed. It's real good.
Sweet Potatoes "I'm Sorry"
DocDirkWertIII- Derty (CD)
Five dollars.
The first release from CO/SF/Oly/Ctown/Farm-in-middle-of-river, genre-bending electronic superstar DocDirkWertIII. A little bit of dubstep, a little bit of breakcore, a little bit of hip hop, and then (when you least expect it) a Velvet Underground sample (?!!). Bound for greatness, I tell ya.
DocDirkWertIII "Hermetically Ballin'"
Evn- In Cognito (Tape)
Three dollars.
Noisy, poppy, garage-y, catchy- this tape is a half hour of Evn jumping around the musical map as only he can. So good.
Evn "Dello"
Funwater Awesome #2 (Zine)
Currently Out of Stock, Will Ship When More Come In
Four dollars.
The second issue of Funwater Awesome is about adventures in becoming a barber. It is hilarious. For certain parts, I was in tears from there being so many laughs in a row. You need such joy in yr life, get it!
Filastine- Burn It (CD)
Ten dollars.Former Infernal Noise Brigade/¡Tchkung! percussionist, Filastine makes incredible, genre-defying music. Burn It brings rhythmic layers, recontextualized instruments, etheric vocalists, street sounds, bullhorns, guest appearances by hip hop mc's from Spain to Seattle and makes something you've never heard before, but want to hear again and again.
This is a small-run Crimethinc release that benefits the legal defense fund of people affected by the Green Scare.
Filastine website.
Captain Heather Comics Vol. 1 (Zine)
Five dollars.
More along the lines of a graphic novel than a comic zine, Captain Heather Comics is stories from the life of Ms. Heather Dunn. All stories within are completely charming and written with the grace and wit that not many zinesters have just yet. Wonderful characters, Mexico, queerness, teaching, childhood, school, relationships...darn good stuff, really.
Th' Mole- Greatest Hits Vol 1 (CD)
Twelve dollars.
Goofy, fun, costumed, (mostly) ultra-posi, electro hip hop motivator- Th' Mole travels the planet spreading more fun than most. This year brings his "greatest hits" collection, which is kind of a joke (the full title is Greatest Hits (Ha,Ha,Ha) Vol. 1), but, if you've ever seen the way everyone sings along to these songs at a Mole show, you know that's it's kind of not a joke, too. This is not only 11 of his greatest, but also contains a data cd with the Tick Tack Blam Ep, which has more songs, and remixes by the likes of Mochipet and Robert Koch.
Th' Mole- How 2 B Cool
Ilse Content Vol. 7 (Zine)
Three dollars.
While there are some great issues of Ilse Content, this might be my favorite. It's fun simplicity makes me ridculously happy. Amusing, engaging family portraits, beautifully illustrated.
Marlo Eggplant - Sampler: Lo-fi, Noise & More (CD)
Five dollars.
Marlo Eggplant has been making awesome experimental music for some time now. This is a little taste of the years 2000-2008; to let you all know.
Marlo Eggplant- Drip Drop
Mend My Dress #2 (Zine)
Two dollars.
Neely Bat Chestnut's writing is something I really enjoy and I've been really wanting to carry Mend My Dress for a while now. I was finally able to get a few copies from her recently (so get em while they last!). This issue is all about homes; the many, many different homes she's lived in over the years, all the drama they stored, the bad, the good (but mostly the bad).
The Background Front- St (CD)
Five dollars.
Electro-acoustic genre-hopping. Guest appearances from the likes of Christopher Francis (Son, Absentee), Cindy Wonderful (Scream Club), Marlo Eggplant, The Werecoons, Makeout Hangover, Endless Sunder, If it Ain't Breakfast Don't Fix it, and Hecka Ar.
The Background Front- Yr Spell (ft. Cindy Wonderful)
OR, mp3 download ($3):
Gumar- 45 Minutes of Jamaican 45's (Tape)
Five dollars.
Good jams abound here, as the one-and-only Gumar digs through his 45 collection and pulls out old, rare jems from Jamaica. The first in his new mixtape series which should prove to be pretty amazing.
Friends of Polly (Zine)
Four dollars.
Awesome polyamory zine from England. Includes essays from a couple fine Olympia non-monogs.
Apple Shadows (Chapbook)
Four dollars.
The newest poetry collection from Mr. Cole Cunningham, Apple Shadows is the collective experience of trying to make the most out of life. but being very unsure how to do it.
Color cover paintings by Eugene artist Tenaya Trygsland. Review
Shitmat/Ladyscraper- Grungecore (7")
Seven dollars.
Breakcore's Shitmat and Ladyscraper remix grunge music and put it in flannel. Totally. Awesome. Released on Portland's Fkdp Records and sewn together by the Disrepair Clothing Project.
Basic Paper Airplane #2 (Zine)
Two dollars.
"Joshua writes short essays about genealogy, living with and without a car, the significance of the American dollar, an interview with a film-maker friend, and a report on the ghosts of Snohomish County. I haven't read this much sincerity and thought in a zine in a long time. He has a really great voice, and is able to express himself in natural, original way. It was such a pleasant read." -Kelly Froh, Zine Thug
Kite (CD)
Ten dollars.
While Kendl Winter plays in many a good band (The Pasties, Blackberry Bushes, Southern Skies, etc), Kite may be my favorite. Personal, intimate, wandering guitar, brushed drums, bass and cello- it's hard for me not to be captivated by its swoon. "Fill My Glass" may be one of my favorite songs ever written, when it drops into 3/4 plucked cello my heart almost gives everytime. The CD also comes with a fold-out booklet of lyrics and Kendl's amazing art.
Kite "Fill My Glass"
DJ Dogwater- XYZ EP (CD)
Three dollars.
Motown dubstep, gangsta piano ballads, bizarre 50's pop cut ups, french kids singing about pizza... this cd is a half hour of unstoppable goodness. The first sound collage album to be a nationwide club hit.
DJ Dogwater "Rosie's Prayers"
Rokhausen- Goldfarb & Masterbathos (CD)
Four dollars.
Breakcore. Sound collage. Laughs. Good times. Sing alongs. Pizza.
Rokhausen "Mad Max Ending and Hamburger Hellhole"
Funwater Awesome #1 (Zine)
Four dollars.
What might at first seem to be all about the wonders of Tumwater, Wa, is mostly stories from (and not from) the world of Zach Mandeville, which seems to be the real location of Funwater. Kind of like a zine version of Winesburg, Oh. It's real good times.
Desolation Wilderness- Horizon Star (CD)
Seven dollars.
Before K Records' newest indie rock band became a band, Nicolaas Zwart made amazing movie soundtracks for everyday life.
Desolation Wilderness "Hedron Oscillator"
Endless Sunder- Descent (CD)
Five Dollars.
Contrary to popular belief, Olympia has an industrial/darkwave scene...it's just that Endless Sunder is the only artist in it. Which seems unfortunate, but Endless Sunder more than takes up the slack; hypnotizing layers, an innovative style, great lyrics, all topped with the most professional at-home studio recordings I've heard from any genre in Olympia.
This is a self-released five song ep to keep us satiated while we all await the major label debut. Listen!
Pet Club- Tastes Like Mom's Mouth (Cassette)
Three dollars.
Pet Club is Alexis Wolf (tapestry, ilse content), Lily Maring (yes please, grass widow), and Noelle (orange peeler) and they are fantastic. Odd, catchy folkness, equal parts adorable and bizzare.
Pet Club "Don't Let Satan Buy Yr Groceries"
DJ Dogwater- We Didn't Take Any Time Travel Pills Tomorrow (CD)
Three Dollars.
On this, the first "official" release from DJ Dogwater, the jams are kicked out. With tracks like "ain't no love in the heart of def leppard" and "intelligent dance macgyver," you can not possibly be disappointed. Could be filed somewhere near Negativland.
DJ Dogwater "Breakfast is Like a River"
Tenacity #1 (Zine)
Three dollars.
Found a stack of these this summer and, since they sold so well at the Portland Zine Symposium, thought I should put it up here. SSO Press' one-and-only train graff zine. Over 30 panels of full-color train graffiti, plus a 8.5" by 13" pull-out.
Foxdye & The Baron- Chopped and Screwed Vol. 2 (Tape)
Two dollars.
Olympia's Foxdye and Baron do chopped and screwed as it was probably never meant to be done. More ridiculous than gangsta, volume two has love jams, doombia, offensive electroclash and more.
Ben Kamen- Dreams (CD)
Five dollars.
Ben Kamen is the master of the sparse. His brand of understated, minimalist folk makes it so, whenever I put this cd on, someone asks, "what is this? can i get a copy?"
There's something hypnotizing here.
Ben Kamen- Lost + Finding
VA- Summer Soul Vol. 1 (Cassette)
Three dollars.
An hour-long selector mix of not-very-well-known-ish 60's and 70's soul jams.
Myra Barnes "Message from the Soul Sisters"
Resume of Charm #9 (Zine)
Four dollars.
Danielle Rodeo Warhola goes where no zinester has ever gone...into the land of real dolls. As in, "diligently sculpted silicone sallies," not yr average blow-up sex doll. What are they all about? What kind of person would choose a real-ish looking, life-sized doll as a life partner? Huh? All these questions and many more are explored in this, her first research issue of Resume of Charm.
Save the Seed: A Zine on Inner (City) Richness (Zine)
+richness.jpg)
Three dollars.

Right Livelihood and the Musician's Journey (Zine)
One dollar.
A small zine considering what it is to be a musician this day in age. Looking at music in a more spiritual way than our culture normally does.
Night Terror (Zine)
Three dollars.
Looking at night terrors from a personal, psychological, and historical perspective, this is one of those great zines that you actually learn from. Beautifully designed by Kinoko (Zine City Comix).
