The Imaginary Zine is a 60-page old school printed zine recounting our first 10 years with some of our favorite blog posts and stories from our imaginary friends. It is extemely limited with only 333 handcrafted zines made.
It also includes a cd chock full of rare, live, or exclusive songs by some of our favorite local artists, including The Long Winters, BOAT, Tullycraft, Exohxo, Tennis Pro, Math & Physics Club and many more!
The summer between my junior and senior years of college I saved up all summer to reward myself with the best Back to School gift ever, the Galaxie 500 boxset that featured their three records, a cd of covers and rarities, and the required 48-page booklet. Since then it has been my go-to boxset whenever I need to bask in the loneliest reverb or find comfort in the stark ivy league crackles of guitar.
Now fast-forward a few years to the first time I heard Frank Black (many moons post-Pixies) sneak into the opening chards of "Where Is My Mind" at the Showbox almost a decade ago. My knees turned to mush and I got lightheaded. I remember I had to look directly into the stage lights just to regain composure and convince myself that it was really happening: I was really hearing a favorite song performed live even though I had long thought it impossible.
I think something very similar is going to happen next Tuesday {11/16} at the Crocodile is going to go seconds into hearing Dean Wareham and band mosey into his 2010 version of "Strange" {or "King of Spain" for that matter}... and I want you there next to me.
Not that Luna! Unfortunately our beloved Dean and Britta didn't make radish earrings popular... but (for those who aren't in the know) Harry Potter did though!
Happy Harry Potter Day 2009! And although I'm not one of those that is wishing she was in line with a golden ticket right now, all of my favorite people do have the Harry Potter buggis mambranous (is that how he would say it?)... so I'm transitive-property uber-excited for them.
If you're looking for something to do in line, make a pair of your very own radish earrings! Or a Death Eater mask! There's all kindsa neat Harry Potter-inspired crafts to do!
Are you headed to the movies today? Tell us all about it!
