Modcult: Floppy-ROM
Wow. Ultra-obscure data storage media: 7" flexi-discs, published in magazines, to be dubbed onto cassette tapes, to be loaded into a MITS Altair or whatever. This might be the nerdliest form of digital stuff ever made. They're magnificent.

Said the Gramophone: WU LYF
Interesting & I think kind of important article about a band (WU LYF aka a bunch of stuff) that consists mostly of mystique. Part of a larger trend in the age of immediate accessibility towards creating secrecy, scarcity, a new underground when all the bohemias are so overfished (and you can tell this is a trend because this is the *fake* version of it, run by an ad man in London). Towards what David Lynch calls "the blatant esoteric."
