Warning! Free crap ahead!
Who still has the means to play cassettes? Who still likes cassettes? Who still wants cassettes?
I have lots and lots that I need to get rid of. With the exception of Delicate Sound of Thunder* and a few mix tapes made with love, it's bye-bye to the format of my childhood.
So: who wants tapes? Gimme a shout.**
Notes:
*Delicate Sound of Thunder: Pink Floyd! I'm very proud to this day that at twelve years old I had the sense to get an album that I wouldn't be totally ashamed of (Ace of Bass and Counting Crows were also huge at my school then). I could have done better; I was choosing between Delicate Sound and The Wall and the art on the former was prettier to me. Come on, I was still twelve.
**Gimme a shout: Which could also mean, "give me a member of the Shout Out Louds for immoral purposes." In this context, it means to contact me via comments button (and I don't expect lots of people who are still tape people to say hi), since I'm less than proud of my collection, and am reluctant to post it on the canon that is Help! Bats! Everywhere!

te he he.. i hear u there.. i've been hoarding a big box of tapes for years now.. some nice ones (nirvana singles) and some really horrible ones (dirty dancing soundtrack!). Ive spent the last 2 months looking for someone to give the tapes away to who will apreciate them and love them like i did. Yesterday my prayers were answered and my kitchenhand mentioned that he exclusivly listens to tapes and is traveling with only a dozen at the moment and if i knew anyone who had some floating around. It made his day, it made my day and the music lives on... :) This doesn't happen often enough
Better still! For the tapes I keep I've got one of those old, bright yellow, clunky Sony Sports Walkmans, which in one recent incarnation I've seen gutted, padded, and adapted into an iPod carrying case. Vive la technologie.
