Beat Black Friday With Holiday Gifts From Big Takeover!

Just a reminder that there’s no need to camp out in tents in front of a big box retailer Thursday night! Big Takeover is happy to help you stay warm and cozy at home instead (and get a jump on Cyber Monday), with our secure online Yahoo Store—for that music-loving friend or relative you know who’d like something fun. Heck, we’ll even ship it directly to them (for free) if you like! (Or to you, for them, or for yourself, if you’re in the mind to buy yourself some holiday treats too!)

And we have a few good ideas:

1: A two-year subscription is the gift that keeps on giving, well past the season. Always a good idea, and easily done, here: subscribe

then click on “Big Takeover Subscriptions.”

And feel free to indicate which issue you’d like to start with: issue 70 (Nada Surf cover) or the just-shipped, brand new 71 (Beach House cover), or even the upcoming spring 2013 issue 72. It’s only $20 for four issues (save 23% off the newsstand price including average sales tax), or $32 for overseas, or $26 for Canada. Or, for those in the U.S. you can send us a check made out to “Big Takeover” for $20 to the following address:

The Big Takeover
356 4th St., Upper Floor
Brooklyn, NY 11215

Or paypal to: jrabid@bigtakeover.com

2: Back issues are always a good bet! We’ve got 71 of those spanning 32 1/2 years of instant history. They’re sold separately at $5-$6 a pop, in case there’s an era, or a band or two you know they really are interested in, or as a blockbuster big gift that will really ring a big bell or two, you can buy them all in one great big box of fun, all 71 issues for $210.00! You can do any of this quite easily at: secure online Yahoo store

and click on “Big Takeover Back Issues.” (Scroll all the way to the very bottom if the complete set 1980-2012 is what you want!)

or again, you can use the addresses above if you want to send a check or use paypal instead!

3.If your loved ones already have all the reading matter they want and might like other fun stuff, a t-shirt might be just the thing! And we have them in three colors, white, red, and black. Remember, in addition to our four mens and three women’s sizes ($13), we now offer six cheaper ($10) children’s sizes, 2T, 3T, 4T, and onesies 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months! For the cool kid in your world!

Once again, you can go to: secure online Yahoo store and click on:

“Big Takeover T-shirt,” or send us a check or paypal payment.

4: We have some other fun ideas, too, may of them smaller, cheaper, stocking-stuffer sorts of things:

secure online Yahoo store is also the place to order, by clicking on

“Big Takeover Accessories,” a cornucopia of unique trifles, such as:

Big Takeover Buttons
Big Takeover Fridge Magnets
Big Takeover Beer Cozies
and, (signed if you like:
Big Takeover 30th Anniversary Posters!

Order any of these there in any quantities you like, or a again, send a check or paypal.

5: Lastly, we do have some music we can offer too, easily seen at

secure online Yahoo store then clicking on

“Big Takeover CDs and Vinyl.”

Here you will find original issue recordings for sale by Springhouse, Last Burning Embers, Even Worse, Doug Gillard, EDP, and Non-Linear Thinkers. What the hey, right?

And we hope you all have a great holiday season!
Yours truly,
Jack Rabid, and all of us here at:
