    Telephone #5 –  (Zine, 2020)

    No.5213 GAJOOB Review by Bryan Baker: “Telephone #5”, the brainchild of Andrew Shaw and a group of global collaborators, is a fascinating experiment in visual translation. Akin to a game of Telephone, each participant was tasked with interpreting a photograph using their phone’s camera, resulting in a series of images that are as diverse as…

  • Mail Art 365

    Mail Art 365

    I happened upon the Mail Art 365 project while reviewing one side of a split album occupied by C. Merhl Bennett. The idea is to create one piece of mail art per day for one full year, however, the site’s organizers appear to be lenient on that particular requirement as some artists make more or less on…

    Mara Gervais – I Made You a Mix CD Because I Have a Crush On You

    Zine Review 5102 I met Mara Gervais at 2022’s Grid Zine Fest. Here you can see the artist’s table filled with lots of items, including the mix CD that caught my eye.

  • Antiquated Future Zine Grab Bag

    Antiquated Future Zine Grab Bag

    Zine Review 5084 $10 from Antiquated Future Antiquated Future is a zine, tape and print boutique label out of Portland, Oregon, USA. Their zine grab bag offers a random selection of zines and the selection is joyously random and a great way to get a good handful of zines to quench your zine urges (at least…

From the first moments, listeners are enveloped in a muffled blanket of magnesium oxide, where random audio snippets—voices, sounds, mechanical clicks, and clacks of Walkmans—create a collage that feels both familiar and disorientingly novel.gajoobzine.com/albums/x1-the-art-of-k7-vol-2/
