Thomas created this zine to accompany his high-tech Qwerty Pop mixtape. And what an outstanding mixtape it is! Having recently fallen in love (again) with typewriting, Qwerty Pop comes into my life at the perfect moment. The zine includes insights and information into the great tunes in the mix which can be listened to online at www.mixcloud.com/ttfb. Leroy Anderson’s familiar “The Typewriter” segues into a full blown Bollywood production number with Asha Bhosle, then on to new wave, techno, rockability, indie pop, and more. Exploring the interconnection between being a DJ, musical discovery & painting words on paper is a passion of mine. Unique zines like Qwerty Pop ignite that passion even further. Qwerty Pop should be a top priority on everyone's listening & reading list.
This blog is mostly dormant. I still review occasional cassettes and zines. Why The Tapes Play Records was a cottage industry indie music label releasing very limited run cassettes, & cds. The label is on hiatus as of 2020, as much of our lives has been on hold and focused on matters of heart, survival, and spiritual nurturance. Why The Tapes Play may return in the future.
