i bought a cassette deck for mixtapes/recording a few months ago, but i haven't bought a cassette in ages. i'm not sure if i'm feeling enough nostalgia to start collecting.
however, i did enjoy laughing at everyone on the bus in middle school with their fancy sony walkman CD players with rubber bands holding everything together. my walkman cassette player seemed to crap out a lot less and was much more simpler/portable. |

used, for 65 EUR, which is a great bargain. Yamaha KX 393. I have a Yamaha receiver and CD player, so this is going to be a match.

that's why I liked the concept of minidiscs, and I wish they had stayed popular, over cd's. Small and all that. |

I've been pretty much listening to cassettes for the past 6 weeks while I'm in a crappy temp apt while they do work on my bldg - my stereo is all packed away as is my hard drive, so I've been listening to cassettes on a boom box. The very first live tape I ever got, a Doors show from 66 at the matrix, doesn't sound any better but the tape still plays fine nearly 30 years later. The boom box speakers are fried, so I need to buy a new one, but I'm not even sure they make these anymore. The Cd player doesn't work too well and the antenna is broken off.
And I dug out several older Thurston nonSY ensembles from the 90's on cassette I hadn't listened to in awhile because they were from digital sources and I never copied them to CDR, hoping to find original digital sources. That didn't happen so I guess I have a project once I get my stereo set back up. Cassettes are better in one way than digital because you press play, and it plays. With digital you have to go through a painful loading procedure. |

In general, I just feel more inclined to purchase music on cassette than on any other format. Being portable and not easy to just download and hit "burn" makes it very desirable... I'd LOVE to get some techno on cassettes... if anyone has any they want to sell me, hit me up.. I know Ceephax Acid Crew release toms of shit on cassette.. rules.

I have some local dubstep and ghost house mixes on tape, adam. if i can find them(i just fucking moved), i'd be willing to send them to you for a trade or a few sexual favors or something.

It's absolutely fucking awful that moving business.
anyways, to the subject at hand, i've always had a thing for tapes. My collection consists mostly of old punk tapes, harsh noise, and lots of them from not not fun. Tapes have so much more to offer as far as art space is concerned. I've gotten tapes in wooden boxes built for them and shit. when I buy cds I get liner notes. big fucking woop
