Had a great time talking about my projects on #cassettetapes #greenpressure and #greenwashing at 國立中正大學National Chung Cheng University! Many thanks again to Miaoju Jian and Chun-Ju Huang for the invitation and excellent hosting! It was exciting to meet new peers and chat about our work. 謝謝你們！

"Taipei at Daybreak articulates a groundbreaking genre of activist memoir that is both passionate and devastating. It captures the Taiwanese American diasporic voice from Occupy Wall Street to the Sunflower Movement."-Wen Liu on @brianhioe.bsky.social 's Taipei at Daybreak, out now!

A nice little primer of notable activity in the ever under-the-radar Hong Kong indie music scenes (across multiple genres & community): open.substack.com/pub/passingn...

The new Japanese edition of k-punk arrived and it's glorious.

Excited to be invited by Miaoju Jian and Chun-Ju Huang to present my work on #greenpressure and #greenwashing for the Integrating Technology in the Global South (ITGS) research group at #nationalchungchenguniversity in Taiwan. Looking forward to connecting with peers and exchanging perspectives!

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Great to see "Unspooled" by @slobster48602.bsky.social on @variety.bsky.social's Best Music Books of 2024 list!

@limnpress.bsky.social The Obsolescence Issue featuring a piece by @slobster48602.bsky.social and myself. I had a blast writing this article and I am stoked to see the connection between the historic (mixtapes) and present (tape labels) use of cassettes that we’ve traced in it.

Limn 11, Obsolescence, has dropped online. Get it now, for free at link in bio. Limn works because of authors, readers, and issue co-editors, everyone collaborating in our new approach to peer review.

Ben Düster and I co-authored a piece on the int'l cassette revival for this beautifully produced journal. Feeling quite obsolescent these days so it's entirely apropos.

📚New year, new publication out in a #continuum special issue on Popular Music’s revival and renewal edited by the fantastic Lauren Istvandity, Mengyu Luo and John Tebutt.📚 In this article, I take on the annually regurgitated ‘cassette revival’ or ‘cassette comeback’.
