Well into the new millennium, the analog cassette tape continues to claw its way back from obsolescence. 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 examines a moment in the early 1980s when music industry representatives argued that the cassette encouraged piracy. At the same time, 1980s indie 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 communication that initiated rituals of independent music recording, re-recording, and gifting.

Forty year old Indie Taylor had long ago given up wondering why she was different. On her wedding day, a little over ten years before, Indie decided to focus her restless energy on creating the image of the perfect wife to her husband, Will, and later, mother to her beloved and eagerly awaited twins. However, things were surfacing that she could no longer ignore. First, was the simple fact that she’d seemed to stop aging. This, coupled with her well-hidden secret from childhood, that she never actually slept, was testing Indie’s ability to live the lie. But she was trying. And then he found her. The man who’d searched for her for a lifetime, to tell her of her incredible ancestry, and the serious nature of the job she was born to perform; the protection of Humanity. But Jackson Allen had another mission. He had come to claim what belonged to him; and what he claimed . . . was Indie!
