IMPORTANT (Please read to avoid confusion): Some items below may be tagged with a bold, red, all-caps OUT OF PRINT/UNAVAILABLE notice. This does NOT mean that all other items not so tagged are, in fact, in stock — or for that matter, in print and available, though there's a good chance they are. Some folks get confused on this point, and we can see why, so please read this for further clarification and other important before-you-order information. Unlike some mailorder websites, we don't have an electronic inventory system linked to our site, so you can't be sure of what we actually have or don't have in stock at any given moment without asking us — please email our mailorder department for availability status — or better yet, just go ahead and place your order using our shopping cart function and we'll get back to you with the status of each item. If you have general non-mailorder questions, email the store.

THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.

SORRY. This record is one of the most amazing we have ever heard, and of course, it's been practically impossible to get back in stock. But now we have it, and you should buy it. It's pummelling and heavy and beautiful. Not sure how long we'll have this in stock. An ex-Dazzling Killmen (Blake Fleming) takes his penchant for angular discordance a step further, forgoing the ferocious heaviosity of his former outfit, and instead, explores lengthy semi-improvisational psychedelic freakouts and repetetive hypno-krautrock instrumentals ala Circle. Post rock jamscapes littered with shrieking and droning Albert Ayler-ish sax, jabs of no wave guitar, an overwhelming over-saturated super-distorted production and absolutely crushing drumming. Totally essential.

I was completely crushed when I heard that Chris Ware had decided to end his Acme Novelty Company / Jimmy Corrigan comic series. A very very special and moving story by an astounding artist. At times, brutally heartwrenching, at others darkly humorous. Honestly this has brought tears to my eyes more than a few times. Completely redefining and elevating the form of the comic book. Ah, what could Mr. Ware do for a finale? Wrap the complete story up in a beautiful hardcover with a fold-out poster / dustjacket. Of course, sorely missing from this format are the added features and embellishments found in the individual comics such as the highly detailed and entertaining faux ads and extra stories. If you've not yet discovered the greatness of Chris Ware's Jimmy Corrigan, here's your chance to jump right in head first and experience it from beginning to end. So absolutely positively recommended.
