“Tracks” Magazine Briefly, Weirdly Back On Track

Not sure how we missed this, but apparently Tracks–the failed precursor to Paste that folded in 2005–was re-launched in blog form on January 14th, and then seemingly de-launched just two weeks later. Actually, we’re not entirely sure what the deal is here, except that the site’s “posts” appear to be archived articles from the magazine (plus some non-functioning podcasts). This is no doubt good news for Tracks contributors hoping to find their old clips online, but a bit of a nightmare for people who enjoy logically organized Web sites. Still, we have a word of warning to whomever’s running things there nowadays: You may not want to play up the Sting thing so much.
