Bad Day
Online

Been enjoying the blog of Rob Young, Editor-at-Large at The Wire and author of Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain’s Visionary Music, due out 5 August 2010 on the Faber and Faber imprint. If you happen to be in London on that date be sure to attend its release party at The Wire Salon, Cafe Oto.

I just acquired a copy of this delightful new book of poems by Spencer Moody and Anthony Anzalone—and I love it! It is published by our friends, Teenage Teardrops in LA, and is the perfect size to become my travel companion for the next little while. More info here!

We’re excited to be circulated with OMMU Distribution in Athens, Greece—they carry such a great selection of titles, and we couldn’t be happier to be among them. Coming September, you’ll find us at their new bookshop. Check it out!

It’s been said, but on this Canada Day weekend, we’re still finding ourselves saddened by the possible closing of This Ain’t The Rosedale Library, one of our first supporters, and one of the best bookstores in our fair country. They’ve even been ranked one of the top ten bookstores in the world. Not sure if there’s much to be done, but please try and support this local institution, or at least stop by and pay it a visit of appreciation before it’s too late.

Our friends at Bidoun Magazine have opened a great storefront location in Chinatown, where you can pick up first grabs of their latest issues, plus back issues, nice totes, tees, posters and more. Can’t wait to stop by and check it out, find them at 47 Orchard Street.
