I started a US satellite store for Sheer Spite, shipping from Everett, WA! Folks in the US can benefit from affordable shipping and no tariffs. Launching with just these 6 items but more to come.

can't speak highly enough about these 2 books

in each, William C. Anderson (author of "Black as resistance") speaks with movement elders (Ashanti Alston in one, Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin, JoNina Abron-Ervin and Modibo Kadalie in the other)

they're mind-bogglingly thoughtful. pick them up!

OTD 1969 James Brown drags his road-weary band into King Studios in Cincinnati to record. Drummer Clyde Stubblefield bangs out a drum pattern Brown crafts into "Funky Drummer." Minor hit but it forms a foundational beat in Hip-Hop. The bldg remains vacant & standing but King left in 1971.
