Underground by Scott and Jen Webel $10.00 – Published by Museum of Natural and Artificial Ephemerata, this zine is a lovingly illustrated catalogue of the Museum’s 2010 Underground exhibit, which takes the theme, as usual, to delightfully eccentric extremes. Practically perfect in every way, this concept allows for the full on display and linkage of Kidney Stones, Trilobytes and Blue Jeans From the Russian Black Market, as well as many more of your very favorite things. If you really want to rave in the cave, this zine pairs excellently with Underneath Providence and Muddy -EF

Smells Like Teen Spirit 7 inch by Woody Sullender (Dead CEO) $6.00 – This clear 7″ lathe-cut record, pressed as part of a limited edition series of only 100, was cut one at a time by Peter King in New Zealand. It contains “erased” versions of two Nirvana songs, “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Polly.” Both songs were run through a series of band-pass filters, which removes most of the frequency spectrum from an audio recording. “Polly” was erased based on the principle melody of the classic murder ballad.
8. Girls To the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution by Sara Marcus $14.99 – The last great underground cultural movement of the pre-Internet age, Riot Grrrl revolutionized girlhood itself. In the early 1990s, young women were realizing that the equality they’d been promised was still elusive, and a newly resurgent right wing was turning feminism into the ultimate dirty word. Don’t miss Sara Marcus here at Quimby’s with Jessica Harper, author of Girls Guide to Rocking on Oct 23rd, 7pm.
