    RUSS FORSTER’S 8-TRACK MIND + VIDEO NUGGETS
    A dear uncle to OC, as well as a dedicated documentarian, radio DJ, and registered nurse, Russ Forster delivers his HUNDRETH zine issue on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his So Wrong They’re Right, thee best doc ever on those odd ‘70s cartridges! Russ shows off his most super stylized 8-Track decks, updates us on that subculture’s status, and unspools both music and video clips (including Swans, Sun-Ra, and Jimmy Wilsey, RIP). His trusty theremin is conscripted into use as well, in fact performing a duet with David Cox on Optigan!! Cox also demos the Mellotron loop-pedal, before giving way toBryan Boyce’s karaoke kookiness. This whole family tree of formats is grounded in the fertile field of mid-centuryrock music, that we excavate in the form of…Nuggets! Yes, THAT Nuggets, the legendary double-album of pop psychedelia/proto-punk that blew the minds of an entire generation: 13th Floor Elevators, Blues Magoos, Electric Prunes, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Music Machine, Count Five, Blues Project, The Seeds!!..and these are just a few in the 60 mins. of ultra-early/raremusic videoscoming all the way from Ryan Daly’s quintessential Louisville collection…played LOUDhere on the new ATA speakers! *$8.88
