OP Magazine, based in

DIY musicians in the midst of the cassette culture.[1] The magazine was co-founded by Foster, Toni Holm, Dana Squires, and David Rauh.[2] An emphasis of the magazine was "articles about music written by musicians", and regular contributors included Victoria Glavin (Victoria Barreca), Peter Garland, Eugene Chadbourne, and Larry Polansky.[1]

When Foster ended OP after only twenty-six issues, (labeled A-Z, with topics within beginning with that issue's letter), he held a conference, offering the magazine's resources to parties interested in carrying on;[3] two magazines became the dual successors to OP's legacy: attendant journalist David Ciaffardini went on to start Sound Choice, which published until 1992, while Scott Becker, alongside Richie Unterberger, founded Option, lasting until 1998.[4]

Foster, Holm, and Rauh currently administer the Olympia-based radio station KXXO.[5]
