"A lively examination of the spirit and practices that have made the indie movement into a powerful cultural phenomenon. You know the look: skinny jeans, Chuck Taylors, perfectly mussed bed-head hair. You know the music: Modest Mouse, the Shins, Pavement. You even know the ethos: DIY with a big helping of IRONY. But what else lies behind the blanket term INDIE? As popular TV shows adopt indie soundtracks and the signature style bleeds into the latest lines from behemoth clothing chains, the quirky individuality of the movement seems to be losing ground to mainstream outlets looking to co-opt the indie aesthetic as a marketing tool. In SLANTED AND ENCHANTED, Kaya Oakes demonstrates how this phase is just another link in the chain, charting the historical path of a culture that reinvents itself continuously to preserve its core ideals of experimentation, freedom, and collaboration. Through interviews and profiles of the artists who have spearheaded the cause over the years, including Mike Watt, David Berman, Kathleen Hanna, and Dan Clowes--as well as mining her own experience--Oakes examines the hallmarks of this popular lifestyle trend. Her visits to music festivals, craft fairs, and smaller collectives around the country round out the story, providing a compelling portrayal of indie life on the ground. Culminating in the current indie milieu, Oakes reveals from whence indie came and where it next will go." [publisher copy] "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. In discrete chapters on zines, small presses, comics, independent music labels and numerous other subjects, Oakes focuses on a few exemplary artists or companies that embody the integrity that she lionizes. Her focus on independent publishing and writing--she is a cofounder of the eclectic Kitchen Sink magazine--provides a worthy parallel narrative to Michael Azzerad's essential indie music history, This Band Could Be Your Life, with which her book shares some heroes, most notably the affable Mike Watt of the Minutemen. Oakes begins the book with a much appreciated primer on some of the intellectual forebears of her book's central characters, including the poets Frank O'Hara and Allen Ginsberg and the revolutionary street theater group the Diggers. She ends it with a mournful chapter on the co-opting of indie culture by companies like Urban Outfitters and the TV show The O.C. The complex effect of the Internet on traditional indie culture is given relatively little space, which weakens the book's effectiveness as a guide to current trends and artistic networks, but as an explanation and excavation of the already fading recent past, it is essential reading.--Publishers Weekly. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.
