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. -

Also! Join us in honoring Banned Books Week – Celebrating the Freedom to Read. It was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries. The challenges have occurred in every state and in hundreds of communities. Click here to see a map of book bans and challenges in the US from 2007 to 2009. This annual event reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted. Banned Books Week is endorsed by The Library of Congress Center for the Book and sponsored by various associations including the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, the American Library Association(ALA) and the American Society of Journalists and Authors. Stay tuned this week as we feature our first guest blogger, Julie Halpern, the writer behind the books Get Well Soon (which was originally a zine sold here at Quimby’s) and Into The Wild Nerd Yonder.

Assume Vivid Astro Focus HC (Rizzoli) $60.00 – The first book on the artist collective known for their raucous multimedia installations. Founded by artist Eli Sudbrack, assume vivid astro focus has been dazzling the art world since 1994 with its exuberant, visually spectacular room-size installations. Created out of recycled and appropriated imagery from a wide range of sources—such as unicorn tapestries, children’s stickers, pages from gay porn magazines, album covers, Buddhist thangka paintings, and street graffiti, to name a few—the finished works can feel like a cross between a ’70s disco, Brazilian Carnival, and a psychedelic version of Andy Warhol’s Factory.
Where Children Sleep by James Mollison (Boot) $30.00 – Photographs of children’s bedrooms around the world with portraits of the children themselves. Each pair of photographs is accompanied by an extended caption that tells the story of each child: Kaya in Tokyo, whose proud mother spends $1,000 a month on her dresses; Bilal the Bedouin shepherd boy, who sleeps outdoors with his father’s herd of goats. just to name a few. The cover features a child’s mobile printed in glow-in-the-dark ink!

Hans-Peter Feldmann: Voyeur (Walther Konig) $19.95 – A reprint of this classic book, which documents the image wreckage of our consumer-driven culture, making eccentric or sinister juxtapositions (shots of nude women next to aircraft crashes) and cataloging the blandness of media bombardment to render its toxic assault visible to us, its near-helpless voyeurs.
Wim Wenders: Once (DAP/Schirmer) $29.95 – This travel diary, photo album, and a series of stories consists of short, autobiographical sketches relating filmmaker Wim Wenders’ experiences on his trips across the world scouting locations for his films, as well as photographs taken during these excursions.

Modern before it was cool. If you like Shag, you will like this.

Twenty-six of the hottest new artists have opened up their sketchbooks to share their impressions as they travel on road trips, trek halfway across the globe, and explore internal landscapes.FICTION!
The Instructions by Adam Levin (McSweeney’s) $29.00 – This is a huge book, as in a lot of pages. And yet somehow, it feels light as a feather. That’s some crazy McSweeney’s technology. Anyway, I look forward to reading it, especially because Adam Levin will be here at Quimby’s to read from it in October (stay tuned for details)! Also I look forward to reading it because the first time I picked it up I turned to a page talking about “The Matrix.” Also! There are ones with blue covers and ones with grey covers! -LM
