Just subscribed to this podcast. You should, too, if you like tapes and noise and dudes talkin’ about tapes and noise.
Mailorder tape haul
Did you know you could get custom-made cassettes from Smithsonian Folkways? Like, for instance, the amazing Man of Many Voices by Rev. Howard Finster? (They are a bit pricey, though.)

What I said up there.
I have no idea where to begin.
We’ve sold over 2,500 copies of the ‘King Tuff was Dead’ cassette…
I’m not one to be territorial about bands or formats, but this figure from the Burger Records owner strikes me as weirdly counter-intuitive in terms of cassette culture. I guess cassettes really are the new vinyl.
Digital recordings can also sound sterile, even when dealing with a band as exciting as The Dead. Tapes feel, to me, much closer to the source. I even love the word ‘tape,’ as in “Man, if I lay this tape on ya, you can’t share it with anyone, because it came from the guy who cuts Bobby’s hair, and it can’t get out…’
