Focusing on how the cassette heralded new modes of music sharing, intimacy, and communication through forms such as the mix tape, Rob Drew argues that the format's emotional resonance is tied to its shareability.

Well into the new millennium, the analog cassette tape continues to claw its way back from obsoles cence. New cassette labels emerge from hipster enclaves while the cassette’s likeness pops up on T-shirts, coffee mugs, belt buckles, and cell phone cases. In Unspooled, Rob Drew traces how a lowly, hissy format that began life in office dictation machines and cheap portable players came to be regarded as a token of intimate expression through music and a source of cultural capital. Drawing on sources ranging from obscure music zines to transcripts of congressional hearings, Drew ex amines a moment in the early 1980s when music industry representatives argued that the cassette encouraged piracy. At the same time, 1980s in die rock culture used the cassette as a symbol to define itself as an outsider community. Indie’s love affair with the cassette culminated in the mixtape, which advanced indie’s image as a gift economy. By telling the cassette’s long and winding history, Drew demonstrates that sharing cassettes became an acceptable and meaningful mode of commu nication that initiated rituals of independent music recording, re-recording, and gifting. sign, storage, transmission a series edited by Jonathan Sterne Lisa Gitelman “Offering a comprehensive history of the cassette from its origins in post-World War II taping tech nologies to the recent revival of the music cassette as a hipster artifact, Unspooled is the first book to give an extended account of the various ways that cassettes have transformed musical culture. This wonderfully engaging, clear, and witty book
will appeal to a wide audience of music fans and critics interested in mixtapes, cassettes, and cassette cul ture and will become a classic in many fields.” will straw, professor of urban media studies, mogill university “Rob Drew is one of my favorite writers on music, and I wish more people knew about his work. This is the definitive cultural history of indie music’s tangled but fascinating love affair with the audio cassette.” david hesmondhalgh, author of why music matters Rob Drew is Professor of Communication at Saginaw Valley State University and author of Karaoke Nights: An Ethnographic Rhapsody. |
