Book Giveaway For Slanted and Enchanted: The Evolution of Indie Culture

[close] The last Slanted and Enchanted giveaway was such a success that I decided to do another one. And this one comes with two bonus gifts: 2 copies of the highly collectible Kitchen Sink Magazine, and one mix CD soundtrack of tunes from the book. Sweet.

About the book: Publisher's Weekly says "In this lively and highly literate explication of various American indie scenes and art forms, Oakes argues for the value and importance of a lively, community- based do-it-yourself tradition... as an explanation and excavation of the already fading recent past, it is essential reading." And the San Francisco Chronicle says: "While she relays indie’s development with predictable expertise, she does so with uncommon insight, showing how the many scenes it encompasses (punk rock, riot grrrl, self-publishing and crafting among them) have been originated, reinvented and co-opted over more than 50 years... makes an impassioned, optimistic case for indie’s vitality that doesn’t assume readers are coming to her book already well versed in the subject… It’s a comprehensive approach to a subject that is too often reduced to discrete parts, making Oakes’ conversations with a full cast of indie stalwarts feel fresh and perceptive."
