"The 8 Noble Truths of The 8-Track Mind" as printed on the back cover of issues of #RussForster's 90s zine #8TrackMind

#8TrackTuesday #8TrackCartridge #NowReading

#8TrackMind was a neat zine started in the early 90s by #RussForster, ostensibly to bring together the #8TrackTape community in all it's eccentric, nostalgic, and perverse varieties. For years it was a regular resource for information about 8-tracks, and was the only place that jokes about that dreaded KER-CHUNK! sound could reliably be grokked. The initial run ended in 2000, but a lo-budge film documentary followed, and I understand Russ revived the mag proper a few years back.
