Cassette general? What have you picked up recently? Where do you usually buy your tapes? What makes tapes appealing to you?

Props on the Banshees tape.

...

Just got Metz 2 on cassette also nice metal and cassettes

Emotional mugger. Nice I bet that sounds great on cassette

bump

bumping for nonyellow thread

the only cassettes i have were albums released solely on cassette in 2008/9 when it was trendy.

anyone collecting now is just trying too hard.

also that guy with the kanye cassette made me laugh pretty fucking hard.

>Only doing something if it's popular and not whether you like it or not


Oh boy lads

i guess the other alternative is you have a car that is from the 90s and haven't got a smartphone.

but that would make you 35+, so that isn't possible.

it did it before it was cool xd

>Listens to music exclusively in the car

OH BOY LADS

wait so you listen to your cassettes at home too?

gee.

life must be rough for you user. my sympathies.

>what is a walkman

>Where do you usually buy your tapes?
Most of these were bought in Yahoo Auctions
>What makes tapes appealing to you?
Mostly the fact these demos weren't released in any other format, and many of them weren't even ripped/uploaded to the internet.

Those Darkthrone tapes look very cool.

>class of '84
nice.

I think it was like $8 on Discogs.

Death of Pablo was released on tape?

I got a big haul from a garage sale last year for $10. Mostly 70's/early-80's stuff. Not really because I was a fan of the tapes in particular, but because I knew very little about them, and I could just play them in the background and see what I thought. And it has been interesting.

Have there been any favorites you've discovered?

I bought these ones for dirt cheap this week, still sealed but already opened up None. SYL's still sealed. Rarely pick up tapes and when I do is mostly just metal. Old school death metal has a cool sound on tape that I find appealing.
Those Darkthrone tapes look really cool.

The 70's electronic stuff like Kitaro is pretty fascinating. It's kind of like a "seed" version of what electronic music later became.A lot of album tracks from various musicians are better than I thought they would be - I've never actually listened to something like a full Nilsson album before, but he's a very skilled singer and songwriter. It gives you a better idea of what their music actually sounded like. Also, the Spanish guitar stuff is fascinating to me, tonally and otherwise.

Last tape I bought is The Colour of Spring, but it's still on the way.
My tape collection is very small, only a handful of prerecorded ones and mostly old mixtapes from my parents.
