This is a 8.5 by 11 inches full color 8 pages zine
After reading this I truly believe that Ms Belka
Belochka is a fan of recycling. Theres some found pictures, found notes, some
street stickers, thrift store book reviews, zine reviews, a poem, a tale of
cassette love \ dubbing. I like the nice, kinda naïve but sincere, deeply
honest writing style. After reading this I felt like going to the Salvation
Army or any thrift store to scope up stuff. The mixtape is a collection of her
favorite songs culled from various thrift stores cassettes. Upon reading this I
couldn`t help myself. I though oh no not a collection of crappy one hit wonders
\ bad pop songs. Boy was I wrong this tape is like an international world music
extravaganza. Let`s see. There`s Japanese pop (Chiemi Hori, Seiko Matsuda,
Akina Nakamori and Iyo Matsumoto), traditional Greek music (M.Hadjidakis),
disco from the Philippines (Boyfriends), fiddle music (Hawks And Eagles), a
funny and moronic cartoon song (Ren & Stimpy), experimental music from
Ukraine (PlasticFantastic And Electric Psychedelic Pussycat), Hawaiian ukulele
(Ohta-San), Hawaiian music (Makaha Sons Of Ni`Hau, Ledward Kaapana), an old
school English punk band (X-Ray Spex), and some German zither music (Joseph
`Sepp` Diepolder). I can`t wait to read more issues of this amazing zine and I
hope she does another amazing mixtape. Write her godammit!
