Yeti, the pretty nifty lit/art journal thinger with the very cool compilation albums, is ready for round six. And from the looks of things, they've got another monster for us.

Yeti #6 will come packaged with a CD sporting rare and unreleased cuts from the Clean and offshoot the Great Unwashed, plus covers of those bands by Times New Viking (this one) and Crystal Stilts, respectively. Other highlights include tracks from Devendra's Megapuss, Sun City Girls (and their Brothers Unconnected side deal), Eat Skull, caUSE co-MOTION!, Collections of Colonies of Bees, and ex-Vivian Girls drummer and current Crystal Stilts member Frankie Rose, who serves up a demo for the Girls' "Where Do You Run To". And more!

Oh yeah, and there's a magazine, too! Inside, you'll find an interview with the Clean, one with the Vivian Girls, Sic Alps and Eat Skull talking noise to each other, a chat with Thom Bullock of Rub N Tug (who also contributes to the the comp under his Way of the Ancients guise), an oral history of Sun City Girls, and some other fun stuff.

The whole megillah is available for preorder now through the Yeti website, and starts shipping come October 24. (Oh, and in the interest of full disclosure: Yeti is owned by Pitchfork contributor Mike McGonigal.)
