Cassette Store Day?

memories control all.  i enjoy the power and appeal of such controls that anythings with rich memorexies of the events you live while experiencing such entertainment, can convince the crowds that to create, is blown out of the fucking water by the reissue.  hollywood is dying on the vine under such a sun of over saturation . . . god that is really getting fucking annoying now, all those words with the same first letter.

This makes me feel like you got started waaaaay sooner that I did, and that I've got some catching up to do….

I?m not interested in ?back in the day.? I?m not one of those guys who goes around saying the music was better when I was younger, ?cause it wasn?t. You see this happen over and over again with people in their 30s, who start describing the music of their youth as some special place. Special to you, I get that, ?cause you were going through youth. I think part of why our audience is miraculously all ages is because we are always in the present moment.  Always, always.

– The Mountain Goat

It was raining on Friday Night at Newport.  I mean pouring.  And I was in a tented stage.  And the Last Bison just finished and they were incredibly good.  Mountain Goat was going to come on next.  And I wanted to see Amanda Palmer who was on after him in the same tent.  But all these douchebag hipsters were coming in to see Mountain Goats.  And I knew it is bad enough that I don't like Mountain Goats but to have a bunch of a-holes in the tent with me was too much to bare.  So I went into the pouring rain to watch Feist play.  It turned into a torrential downpour.  By the time I got back to the tent for Amanda Palmer there was no space left so I had to watch from outside getting drenched.  But it was worth it to see Feist instead of Mountain Goats. 

never choose music . . . over comfort.  comfort makes music better.  rain ruins live shows.  you will remember it in ten years, and will only remember the rain and how awful it was.

Can cassette tapes be cool again?

Commercially produced cassettes were kind of never cool for me because of timing.  Recordable blank cassettes ruled the day because of the "mix-tape" phenomenon, but my first car came after the prominence of the CD, so to buy a bands cassette tape for me was never really more useful than an LP or CD.  I probably didn't buy more than 10 commercially produced cassettes in my lifetime, but made thousands of tapes from blanks in my day.  Well, until the recordable CD anyway.

If you were a true music fan and audiophile you'd know vinyl has a warmer audio range      no place sounds as good as the 9:30 club      real cassettes have a more gossamer, magnetic static ear-feel.

All the really interesting stuff is exclusively on cassette nowadays.

Cassettes suck…a few exceptions but come on

love the new label for DFH's whiskey

notice I didn't put in the Whiskey thread as it probably is pretty mediocre

if you need something to play your newly purchased alt-rock cassettes on!

The Sony Walkman is back.
