Started by Mike McGonigal around 2000, YETI is hard to explain but I guess you could call it a general interest magazine for people with marginal interests. Subjects covered include literature, film, unicorns, the stock market, black science fiction writers, Swedish trance-folk bands from the '60s, the roots of Alfred Jarry's Pere Ubu character, John Denver, horror vacuui drawings, streetcorner gospel musicians, sex and comic art.
Format of the thing is a perfect-bound, 6" by 9" book with a full-length CD affixed to the inside back cover. Both the book and CD are jam-packed (224 pages/ eighty minutes). It used to come out really infrequently, but is now being published three times a year.

(We love feedback on our music =)
We were up late last night folding CD covers, mixing songs and getting ready for our shows this weekend.
New song dedicated to the incredible Jeeja Yanin! If you have not seen her in the Thai movie Chocolate, you have not finished living. Song features our two new Buddha Machines and an old harmonica that belonged to Rani's father.
Also posted new mixes of three songs; two from our new album which people should pick up before they are sold out and go for outrageous collector's prices.
