A couple weeks ago, something amazing happened:
The 8-track museum opened! Bucks Burnett, who does
look vaguely like his cowboyesque name, is not
just honoring the history of the 8-track, but he plans on reviving it by
issuing new recordings under the on Cloud 8 Records label. Hopefully that means somebody'll start actually making 8-track players again, because I've only got three or four here and I can't part with any of them. That's all we need, though - a bunch of audiophile dicks arguing in message boards about how they can hear the density of the cartridge plastic thanks to their gold cables and high-grade electrical outlets and speaker stands made from the bones of Belgian orphans or some shit like that. The museum, at least, exists within something called a "
Dolly Python", in the Dallas area.
