Sound as Vision
We stumbled across the very cool Mix Tape Exchange that Yeti Records runs in Minneapolis, MN via this article on Utne. Not only is the concept cool, but we also loved the variety of homemade cover art that people are creating for their mix tapes. That art along with the hand written song lists have really captured our little bloggy hearts. We recommend scanning the heart warming glory of it all at the MTE blog here.

Sound as Vision – Ghost in the Machine
Your move mp3. Your move.
This very cool flikr set by artist Erika Iris Simmons was brought to our attention today, and we’re spreading the love. For our younger readers, the above is a cassette tape which was a medium for hearing music back when huffing freon and rocking out and jumping railroad tracks was something that the kids did. Golden times indeed.
Check it out below for some of our other favorites from Erika’s work. We more or less just picked the musical artists we dig the most as a way to whittle it down, because all of her work is amazing.

Yes, we're bringing you this genius. You're welcome.
We at P.E. have been huge fans of the whimsical and amazing artwork of Kyle Starks since before the internet was really a thing and he was improving shitty local zines with his awesomeness. Well, times and technology may change, but luckily Kyle is still golden. How golden? He’s agreed to be a part of a new segment we’re calling Sound as Vision where music related things are recreated by artists we love. Check out the first esteemed entry into this thrilling new saga.
