Yancey Strickler

My first book, published October 29, 2019 (Viking Books), explores how our world was overtaken by financial maximization, and charts a new path for defining our self-interest

The Worst Generation

The Worst Generation Master Collection

Black Dave MK2 and 5 others

$10

Our take A collective of hip-hop artists, designers, skaters, and friends from South Carolina drop their own 100 gigs style release of digital media in its rawest forms.

13101401 Inc.

A Few Essays on Taste

Ruby Thelot

$40

Our take Ruby Justice Thelot is prolific not only in his opinions on the implications of being-on-line, but also in the tools he uses to explore them. His latest project collects a series of essays on the subject of taste into a beautiful small book.

Rhizome.org

internet hat

bri griffin and 1 other

Sold out

Our take Rhizome is the pioneer we need in valuing all the things internet as creative work worth caring for. Their first releases supports their longevity, because we need them in the New Creative Era.

Muri Pixel

E-Angels

Murakit

$25

Our take A nostalgic exploration of 8-bit aesthetics, drawing inspiration from early internet culture and video games expressed in a kawaii-inspired fanzine complete with a viewing score to match.

Quality Time

WET BOOK

savithri velaga and 2 others

$70

Our take As devoted bath-readers ourselves, we can only imagine the origins of “the world’s first book designed specifically for bath time.” Its laminated, spiral-bound pages include a collage of scientific facts, old Playboy spreads, and page clippings from the legendary early 2000s Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue penned by philosopher Slavoj Žižek. Bath, anyone?

Extreme Animals

Should I Delete My Channel?

DJ George Costanza and 1 other

$25

Our take The wild visions of Extreme Animals return to Metalabel in a new analog format: the VHS tape. Safe in its archaic VHS confines, this release is DRM-free, immune to DMCA takedowns, and yours to own and cherish forever (unless your VCR accidentally eats it). Support physical media!

The Ideaspace by Yancey Strickler

Bentoism

Yancey Strickler and 1 other

Free

Our take Bentoism: a wider view of rational self-interest that includes not just Now Me, but Future Me, Now Us, and Future Us too. This archival release documents some of the basics behind the Bento and gives newcomers a starter kit to explore.

sequence giftshop

Shower Thoughts: On Water, Intimacy, and Digitality

yanxiu and 1 other

$10+

Our take Sequence giftshop does what we all secretly want to do: bring all our shower ideas to reality. We’re obsessed with the blurred boundaries between wet & dry in this overview of social experiments and theories.
