Travis Fristoe was a #punk musician and zine writer who lived in Gainesville, #Florida. He and #Cometbus made this book about the Gainesville band Radon, published 2013. Although I’m sure it makes it better if you actually know the band and love them, it doesn’t really matter if you don’t because it’s actually more about what bands mean to the people who love them. In particular, it’s about the relationship we have to bands we share a scene with and how that closeness in itself gives the music meaning.
I’m glad I’m taking the time to revisit Travis’ words. I remember giving him the first issue of Shotgun after I made it and he was so kind and supportive. RIP. #zines #MusicWriting
