The Imaginary Zine is a 60-page old school printed zine recounting our first 10 years with some of our favorite blog posts and stories from our imaginary friends. It is extemely limited with only 333 handcrafted zines made.
It also includes a cd chock full of rare, live, or exclusive songs by some of our favorite local artists, including The Long Winters, BOAT, Tullycraft, Exohxo, Tennis Pro, Math & Physics Club and many more!
Okay, not only is the track list insane, but I'm a sucker for a sweet graphic:
How gorgeous is that? Seriously. And check this out, straight from Starbucks:
Everyone loves a love song.
We approached some of our favorite artists and asked them to cover a tune that's touched their hearts. The result is Sweetheart, an exclusive 14-track compilation featuring artists such as Death Cab for Cutie, Katy Perry, and She & Him reviving selections from the songbooks of a host of greats, ranging from Bruce Springsteen and Billie Holiday to The Cure and Coldplay.

Not to be the knee-jerk anti-corporate jerk, but . . . this rubs me the wrong way. I guess yay for all those musicians getting some dough and getting their music out there in more latte-sipping ears, but - Starbucks? Yech.

Forget about Starbucks, the bands on this comp are weak.

This is a great compilation. I must be the only one who thinks it is, but whatever. Katy Perry is a downside, but it's made up for by DeVotchKa and She & Him.

I am in love with this cd. I work at Starbucks and have been listening to the broadcast version of it for the past week. I can't wait until we start selling it. Definately worth buying.

Don't worry, Katy Perry, no one thinks that you're blatantly grabbing for every bit of indie cred you can get. (Your secret is safe with me).

I'm a fan of the artists and I definitely love coffee. But I'm not impressed with starbuck's or their marketing gurus. Supporting a local coffee shop or record store is a way better plan.
