"The peculiar technology of the lo-fi, crappy cassette tape exemplifies the inherent contradictions of popular music better than any other medium."

La captura d'avui ha estat un reproductor de #cassette lluent, sanyo tcr1149, només per tres eurets. Funciona, però pareix que la rodeta no té força, i hauré de canviar la goma de dins. Amb lo sapastre que soc i ens haurem de posar a fer de manetes... us informo si me n'ensurto...😁 @cassettes

For me, a record, a tape or a disc is the physical reference from the artist I like so much in my collection. That's not the same to have a digital file or streaming, unless it's a #MiniDisc Nice article

This unassuming late #80s JVC RC-N5 #boombox is surprisingly heavy and well made. It looks like a basic portable radio, but it has a secret #cassette deck built in!

Black JVC boombox with integrated moulded handle. The machine has clearly expanded horizontally, opening up to reveal a hidden yellow handle extension and hidden cassette mechanism in the centre.

Friends, followers and musically curious onlookers, I could really use some listens today! I'm an independent who makes weird, for listening to from the couch. If you're new to my oeuvre, this is the best place to start:

https://etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/psychedelic-ghost-stories

10 tracks of alien rhythms, wizard synth anthems and dubbed-out ghostwave inspired by , , and more.

Have a listen! Then give it a boost!

If you're already familiar with that one, and/or like your a little more in the , and vein, your next stop is Metaphysical Shitposting, which you'll find here:

https://etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/metaphysical-shitposting

This one is more purely and heavily features the use of and other outre tools including multitrack , , and more.

Even if you've checked it out before, I've added multiple new tracks in the past 30 days!

I did a thing.

A related thing.

Okay, I'll tell you, but stop begging - it's embarrassing for both of us and everyone who's watching.

I've obtained a Limited Manufacture Licence for some iconic music tracks to be released as an album of and cover versions on and

Now I just need to find some interested artists to join me in this ridiculous endeavour.

Taylor Swift is not just dominating vinyl sales and streams, you could also buy the album on cassette.

FREE CASSETTE DECK!

Here's the deal: I have too many #cassette decks and I want to give one away, along with 20 cassettes.

Why? I love the format, I love the ritual, I love the analogue warmth, and I love introducing people to what tape sounds like on a really good #hifi deck. The fully serviced Sony 3 head Dolby S deck has a headphone socket, so you won't even need an amp or speakers.

#UK only (sorry) and all you need to do is reply with what you want to play on it and I'll pick one.

Easy!

Another vintage #cassette deck rescued from oblivion. This time it's the absolutely rock solid top of the range NAD 6155 from the late #80s. This was the one I wanted when I was 17, but I had to settle for the lowly 6220. I loved that thing ❤️

This is an order of magnitude better. Massive flywheel, huge dynamic range and the uncluttered industrial design that is one of the reasons I love NAD gear. First appearance of Play Trim that improves playback of pre-recorded cassettes.

She's a keeper.

Front view of the NAD 6155 cassette deck on my kitchen worktop. It's a large grey box with knobs, buttons and LEDs on it!

This is the next deck in the queue for refurb. The KD-85 is a real rarity in the UK, particularly in 'native' 240V form, rather than an import from Japan or the US.

It's a hell of a thing for the (1978) and the transport is one of the best ever made. Definitely a rival for any I've owned when it comes to playback.

Overhead shot of the internals of the JVC KD-85 cassette deck. It's a sea of circuit boards and the chunkiest tape mech you're likely to come across.

When young generations wonders how did we manage to have so many cassettes tapes at that time. xD
