Description
SOLD OUT, AVAILABLE ON BACKORDER
The premier issue of COPY THIS CASSETTE!, a cassette review zine for those who still love cassettes, is now available. Interviews, artwork, and, of course, LOTS of “snapshot reviews” of recent cassette releases.
COPY THIS CASSETTE! is my humble attempt at an info-news-review zine assembled by and for cassette fans. This project grew out of an email conversation with Joshua James Amberson concerning the lack of information about current cassette releases offered by independent tape labels, especially in zine format. Yes, I understand there’s the Internet and all, but even here we’re not seeing near as much attention as was happening five to ten years ago. Thankfully Tabs Out podcast is still rolling; however, the Cassette Gods blog has been on hiatus for a while.
My goal with COPY THIS CASSETTE! zine is to help you find more great music to add to your daily routine. If I’m successful, my words about a release I’ve just heard will spur you on to grab yourself a copy. Even better, you’ll seek out other work by these artists.
In addition to the cassette reviews, we have interviews with:
– James Joshua Amberson (Antiquated Future Records as well as Antiquated Future distro),
– Marc Masters (“High Bias: The Distorted History of The Cassette Tape”), and
– Carl Kruger (SquidCo partner and musician).
