Music Zines Are Back! It’s A Throwback Media Revival<\/h1>\n

\"Worlds-first-perfect-zine\"<\/a>Not only are\u00a0cassettes<\/strong>\u00a0reemerging from the underground (as I’ve discussed\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>), butzines<\/strong>\u00a0are also making their presence felt beyond local shops. One edited music zine in an edition of 500 recently made a mainstream media appearance, as growing interest in\u00a0low tech and high touch media\u00a0<\/strong>reminds us that there are\u00a0alternatives to mainstream digital<\/strong>\u00a0culture.<\/p>\n

“David Shapiro”, a pseudonym for the blogger-in-chief at\u00a0Pitchfork Reviews Reviews<\/a><\/strong>, recently released “The World\u2019s First Perfect Zine<\/a>” at the rather exorbitant price of $12.\u00a0 I think it’s a music zine since the content creators are musicians and writers who often write about music,though David doesn’t make that clear.\u00a0 However, he is well known for blogging about music reviews.<\/p>\n

His blog Pitchfork Reviews Reviews, where he reviews Pitchfork reviews (great concept), was included in a\u00a0NY Times\u00a0<\/strong>piece\u00a0about Pitchfork<\/a>\u00a0last year. A recent release party for\u00a0The World’s First Perfect Zine\u00a0<\/strong>got coverage in both\u00a0Fast Company<\/a>\u00a0and a mention in another NY Times piece about zines’ “resurgence among the web-savvy<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
