First of all, I love magazines. Second of all, I'm an ATX -> LA transplant trying to make it through the first year scaries.
Not to jump the gun, but I'm super excited to write a blog post / make a playlist for Dreamworldgirl Zine!! They've rly grown in popularity in the last few months which is crazy considering they only just put put their second issue.
Anyway, I previously did a bunch of interviews for a couple different mags, but this'll be the first original writing I've done in god knows how long (journal entries don't count). Maybe keep up with the zine and see my stuff :)

Such a great way to share work and collaborate with people you wouldn't typically encounter. They can be whatever format you want, and I love that. I'm not in NYC, but if you decide to cast a wider net, I'm in. I've been mostly sharing via a newsletter lately, but I linked to a self-published magazine I made a while back.

I adore music zines. Always loved them. I don’t mean full-on glossy magazines, though I love those, too. I mean the handmade, typewritten, toner-smeared kind made out of printer paper and staples and a burning desire to participate in a tradition of creative writing, interviewing, art-making, and whatever other form of creativity one feels like stuffing into its pages. At the moment, I’m obsessed with a few: Hallogallo, which is run out of Chicago by Kai Slater (of the bands Lifeguard and Sharp Pins) which just published its 10th issue featuring an interview with Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier; Love Injection, a long-running club culture zine by NYC’s Barbie Bertisch and Paul Raffaele; and Shadow Wolf, the handiwork of Holland-based electronic artist Legowelt.

I’ve always wanted to create something like a magazine—just without the pressure of making it an official publication. A friend suggested I try making zines since they’re DIY, community-driven, and give you the freedom to create whatever you want without limitations. That’s how Cyber Nostalgia was born —a quarterly zine featuring interviews with some of my favorite online creatives, playlist recommendations, and articles about the media that shaped my childhood. Oh, and maybeeee we throw in some stickers too. 💫The zine in the picture has a link to the digital version, but if you’d like a physical copy, you can contact us through our Instagram (@cybernostalgiastudios) 💫
