8 Track Mind #102
available from Antiquated Future
Russ Forster curates what I feel to be one of the most
important zines currently in production. 8 Track Mind digs into analog culture
with essays about the disparity between digital and analog platforms and how
each is experienced. There is more than waxing nostalgia for tape and vinyl at work
here – these essays brim with a personal, yet social examination of our
relationship with music, content, and format. Some of the contents include:
Romancing the Record by Jake Whitener, Cassette Revival by Tim Hinely, The
Unity of Time and Space by Lucien Williams, a special mini zine insert titled
Surfing the Digital Divide on Fourth-Wave Format Nostalgia and much more. All
of the writing in this issue is engaging, mindful, substantial. If you are
going to read only one zine this year – make it 8 Track Mind.
