Nostalgic Sonic Youth cassette purchasing sprees
 

I ditched most of my SY tapes years ago since I already had them on vinyl/cd.

I found a Homestead copy of BMR the other day and I had to get it...It reminded me of taking a busride to downtown minneapolis when I was 14 to buy it at the only place I knew had it. An hour each way to buy one tape with my modest allowance.

I also found the Dirty Boots + 5 live tracks on cassette unopened, I don't think I've ever seen it on tape before.

Today I found the EVOL cassette on SST and had to get that too...I remember buying it at the Duluth MN Electric Fetus in July 1992...the first listen to that may be the most magical first time listening to an album I've ever had...It was dark and foggy that night in Virginia MN, and suited the music well, I immediately connected with it, which is rare.

I'm gonna find 'em all now again on cassette, and used tapes are pretty damn cheap in the stores now...I also have a cassette deck in my car.

I want to pick some tapes up too, but they seem to be extinct here, especially any tapes of SY.

I thought I blew up your car stereo..

You blew the fuse, which is now fixed. :)

I gave away my SY S/T EP with the songs backwards on the b side...I gotta get that again.

i don't think sonic youth comes on 8 track, which means i'm shit out of luck until i get a normal cassette deck.

So I owe you money?

ahhh.. there's a local pawn shop that sells $1 tapes.. i'd LOVE to get confusion on tape (or, just as good, just copy my confusion cd to tape!)... i got the fire walk with me soundtrack for $1...

Sure, if you are offering!:D

Naw, I bough a pack of fuses for $5

That sucks, I would never find SY cassettes here.

And the only SY vinyl I've seen was the Goo 4xLP Deluxe Edition

same here, i wouldn't even know where to look, nowhere sells tapes anymore, i have some Nirvana on cassette that Virgin were basically giving away a couple years ago.

Does Swordfish not do that sort of stuff?

do you know any online shop that sells sy cassettes?

He could be anywhere in Scotland. I wonder if he knows my friend Jim, he lives in Scotland.

Weren't you supposed to be writing an essay for me on why US music is better than UK?

I'm working on it!

I've got as far as 1954 so far.

I'm not entirely convinced of the legitimacy of these six.
