From the ashes of his longstanding zine, Personal Best, Lasse Marhaug delivers the first installment of 8090 VÅG, “Nothing Personal”. Comprising interviews with Ronny Wærnes, Stina Stjern; Mental Overdrive, Government Alpha, Fredrik Nilsen, Jérôme Noetinger, Michèle Bokanowski, Ralf Wehowsky, and Jim O’Rourke, collectively covering a wealth of diverse subjects, ranging from Faust, analog tape process, techno, Japanese noise, the Los Angeles Free Music Society, Metamkine’s 1990’s Cinéma Pour L’Oreille 3”CD-series, numerous disciplines of visual art and publishing, and a whole lot more.
The follow-up magazine to PERSONAL BEST (ten issues, 2011-2024). This new publication follows the same formula –
long in-depth interviews with a wide range of great artists, as well as photos and artwork – but the design is new, there
are written pieces, no ads, and it will follow a regular annual publication schedule. 88 pages offset printed CMYK (with
Pantone on cover), sewn-glued binding with a 9mm spine, and folded flaps cover – a slightly more deluxe upgrade from
PERSONAL BEST. It is also printed in a smaller edition. Produced, edited and designed by Lasse Marhaug
