Great day today despite lack of sleep Im ecstatic 'cause the new YETI is finally back officially from the printer, hooray!
YETI is a CD and a 'real' book packaged together, it retails for $10. It's usually pretty much sold in record shops. The stuff that is covered is for the most part 'obscure' but its not like Im into obscure stuff for the sake of it, I just love to champion things I think are amazing and also maybe arent so well known.
Any SG friends who want a copy, just email me your address & Ill get you one it may take a few weeks to get it in the mail to you, but um, you can just pay like $6 if you like it -- that's less than cost!
(Not to toot my own horn TOO too much, BUT I have a decent track record doing this sorta thing in my old zine "Chemical Imbalance" I was the first to print stuff on/ by David Sedaris, Chris Ware, Liz Phair, Jim Woodring, Sadie Benning, Pavement, Galaxie 500, and etc. --If you wanna know more, check out this article about myself I was paid to write by the Seattle Weekly 2 years ago -- a very weird experience!)

There are several bands on the disc that I have been wanting to hear. I don't do the downloading much anymore. email me an address?
and thanks for the funny comment. You're a goofball, mister
can you believe I still have not read that short story? I seriously suck lately. Well, I printed it out and then misplaced it. I have to print it out again. I do appreciate you sending it though.
