2020 * 2021 * 2022 * Music Exchange Guidelines
Our 2022 Exchange is coming soon. Here’s the tentative playlist:
01: January: Cornelius F. Van Stafrin III
02: February: Lob Instagon
03: March: Max Julian Eastman
This unusual piece for our exchange group comes from Tribe Tapes guru Max Eastman, who has been experimenting with 5″ lathe cut records for a while now. For this release, inside a plastic bag in an original photograph and a record, where you need to cut out the center hole in order to listen to it. (I used a penknife, and the record plays very well, now.)
Probably one of the most unique items to have arrived in our exchange group, these loops and grooves are “playable at any speed,” giving the listener a few options for playback and enjoyment. This is an excellent item in general, and a perfect item for our group.

04: April: Le Petit Sac
This Easter-themed release from Le Petit Sac has everything you’ve come to expect from their output, including squealing electronics, wormy vocals, and they combine in the perfect blend of lo-fi weirdness and modern-age performance. Always a pleasure to enjoy new releases from the Sac, and this one is something special. Make sure to put this one on next year, around Easter, to let the neighbors know how you feel.
05: May: Jay Peele
06: June: My Burning Bush
07: July: Dylan Houser
08: August: Clodewerks
