goods and services

Note:  Some of these places and people are more independent/DIY than others, but I didn't have enough links to make 2 different categories.

Atomic Books  A good place in Baltimore to find zines, books, and comix.  They also sell through their online store. 

Become the Media  This is the online store run by the folks who publish Clamor magazine.  You can order Clamor, The Zine Yearbook, zines, books, and lots of other neat stuff.

Busy Beaver  Producers of fine quality buttons.  I got some made for Thoughtworm and was very pleased with them!  Quick turnaround, too.

BuyOlympia.com  This site features a lot of cool stuff made by folks in and around Olympia, WA.

Dr. Bronner's  In my humble opinion, producers of some of the best soap ever!  Great labels, too.

Golden Temple  Makers of Yogi Tea, which I heartily recommend!

Good Vibrations  "Promoting sexual health and pleasure since 1977."

Great Eastern Sun  Sencha green tea, Emperor's Kitchen condiments, and Sweet Cloud brown rice syrup are just a few of the good things coming from this Asheville, NC company.  Organic products and a great source for macrobiotic ingredients.

GreenPeople  "The World's largest, searchable database of eco-friendly products."

Insound  Compulsive record buyers stay away from this site!

The Keeper  "Never buy tampons or pads again!"  Malinda swears by it, and our house has been proudly tampon-free for 3 years.  Hell, yeah.

Monkeywrench Books  A cool collectively owned and operated bookshop in Austin.  We attended a zine swap there hosted by Snake Pit publisher Ben White.

Pisces Soap  Special soap for any occasion!

Quimby's  Hip Chicago zine shop/bookstore.  They stock Thoughtworm, so they must be pretty cool, even though I've never actually been there...

Seventh Generation  Non-toxic household products made from renewable, non-toxic, phosphate-free and biodegradable ingredients.  Not tested on animals.

Stickfigure Distro  DIY record and zine distributor specializing in punk, hardcore, and indie rock.  Extensive stock, but orders can take awhile to be processed due to small staff. 

The Turntable Factory  If you ever need your turntable worked on, Joel is the guy to get in touch with.  He lives in Columbia, SC, and has worked on my turntable twice, including completely refurbishing it.  His prices are reasonable, he does amazing work, and he is offering a service that is getting harder and harder to find.  Tell him I said hello!

VG Kids!  "An independent manufacturer of custom t-shirts and vinyl stickers."  

Vinyl Warning  Our friend Greig's awesome new record label that he runs with his pal Fred.  They have the coolest logo I've ever seen!!

Wysong  "The thinking person's pet food."  Our cats love it even though they can't think!  Hah, just kidding...
