WHITE VINYL LP.

"White Vinyl. Mia Zapata was the greatest rock singer of her time. She may well have been the greatest blues singer in punk rock history, the woman who married the 78 and the '78. Tragedy did not make this true. Mia Zapata made this true, and the ferocious, spring-loaded shrapnel frame that was built around her by Andy Kessler (guitar: metronomic and furious), Matt Dresdner (bass: fluid, punching, beat-addicted and melodic), and Steve Moriarty (drums: martial and explosive) - who, with Mia, combined to form The Gits - made it true. The Gits were formed at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio in mid-1986, grabbing and swapping pieces of art, thrash, noise, punk rock, classic rock, and all the sorts of magical silly and bookish jingle bells that an old-school liberal arts education handed you; for the next few years they worked on turning it all into something tough, sensitive, both brutal and kind. Andy, Matt, Mia, and Steve moved to Seattle in middish 1989, landing in a house on Capitol Hill where they (and fellow travelers) wood-shedded and rehearsed for the next few years. The Gits put out three EPs in 1990 and '91 before signing with C/Z Records and releasing their first full-length album, Frenching the Bully. Seattle quickly claimed the quartet as their own and embraced the Gits blend of ferocious fangs and soft heart, the slug/slap of the guitars, and the gorgeous, soft underbelly of the poetic emotions. These qualities not only fit in with the doe-eyed/sharp-clawed grunge ethos but earned the Gits the respect of their peers, including Nirvana, who tapped them to open a major local show in 1990. Then other stuff happened, and their frantic, confessional barbed-heart snowball began rolling up hill very, very fast; the Gits "quickly" (Hah! After half a decade learning to implode and explode hearts and stomping their boots on manifold beer-softened, Marlboro-weeded wood stages!) inspired rapture, awe, and the levitation that happened when peak emotion meets peak grindage in front of amps spitting out something that sounded like the mad marriage of Bolan swagger and Dischord tension... all fronted by a genuinely incomparable woman who held her heart in her mouth and shared it, in all it's celebration and fear, without hesitation. The Gits were an angry, inflamed slinky fully in tune with and tuned by the Bessie Patti Smith of her time, truly the only singer who could summon Joplin, Poly Styrene, Sam Cooke, Iggy Pop and Ian MacKaye all in the same goddamn song. In 1993, less than four weeks after accepting an offer from Atlantic Records, Mia died. I leave it at that, because this is not about death; it's about an extraordinary life. I do not say, "You should have been there," I say, "We are lucky so many of us were, and I am so glad we have this extraordinary evidence of the power and gifts of Mia and the Gits that you now can hold in your hands." And I note that Frenching the Bully, this extraordinary testament to the soul, shock, fury and feeling of the Gits, has been long out of print on vinyl and CD, and this new edition - remastered by legendary Seattle engineer Jack Endino - joyfully rectifies that. -Tim Sommer"

Talk about SOFT!!!
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 50"x60"
Definitely a premium product! Softness is a 10/10 very little shedding and the stitching is solid. Medium to heavy weighted throw blanket. Picture is exactly what u get in person. It’s very cool to the touch and again so soft and dense. I lay with it on me watching tv and it’s definitely a sensory thing, I can’t stop touching it. Best blanket I ever had. The material underneath is very soft as well and keeps you warm. I bought the matching pillow case and it’s equally just as good. In my opinion it’s worth the money if u have it to spend. I plan on getting the bigger size blanket on prime day.

GORGEOUS!
Color: Champagne Fawn, Size: 60"x80"
Large and durable faux fur that is heavy and keeps you warm. It is so soft and fluffy. Super good quality and I love the champagne color. The cotton content is perfect and feels extremely soft on the skin. The price is high even though I bought it on sale. The value is worth it and I will buy another one when it goes on sale!

Super soft
Color: Brown Sable, Size: 60"x80"
I bought this last year as a gift for myself. Im such a sucker for blankets and honestly have way too many. I love the heaviness of this blanket. The size of it is great as a throw for the end of my bed or to pull over me if I get cold. It can tend to get a bit hot with being so thick. I love that it doesn't shed all over the place is great quality. This bla ket is super soft and looks amazing where its laying as a throw piece. It does have a bit of weight to it and makes you feel super comfortable laying under it. The scent of it was a bit weird coming straight out of the package, but once opened and had time to air out it was fine. I love this bla ket and would absolutely buy it again!

Luxury Soft Faux CHINCHILLA Fur
Color: Birch Mink, Size: 60"x80"
The softest fur in the world comes from chinchillas, which have fur that is 30 times softer than human hair. Other notably soft furs include those from mink and angora rabbits. So after much consideration, I ordered the FAUX CHINCHILLA fur throw and absolutely love love love it. I actually purchased it as a house warming present for a friend, but somehow ended up receiving two and I kid you not it is the best mistake I ever made next to matrimony. My honest opinion is to ignore all the nonsense gobbledygook reviews and focus on the winners like the one written by Macy. Yes it's heavy and I'll probably have it professionally cleaned when the time comes, but folks I kid you not it is the softest, prettist and most impressive throw I've experienced to date. As others recommended... buy it, wrap it around your body and experience just how incredibly delightful it really is!!!
