CASSETTE TAPES...

[Marz]

I have 2 milk crates in my garage filled with cassettes, all kinds of stuff in there... Zepplin to The Cure.. cant stand cassettes, never have liked them.

I also have about 200 Vinyl records (and some of those old 45's). I had some then a friend was getting rid of his, so I took them.. then I found a bunch at garage sales and just started accumulating them. You would not believe what people are pretty much throwing away.  I got all kinds of old Beatles, Louis Armstrong, Django Rinehardt, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, tons of real good out of print stuff like Arthur Lyman and Martin Denny... Picked up a turntable and they all play great.

I got rid of my cassettes, but I do have some 8 tracks lying around since I still have an 8 track player in my 78 Camaro.

Do you have the feather roach clip hangin from the mirror?

and I am guessing the 8 tracks are Deep Purple and Kiss, Love Gun. I think all Camaros came stock with those.

I have my cassette case filled with cassettes that I had back in my 65 cuda days. Have the Metallica Kill Em All first release that was on chrome tape. I still play them on my home stereo, I have a turntable also. I bought a Sherwood system years back that combined old and new at the time, just so I could still listen to some of the stuff you can't get on CD. Anyone remember Arlo Gunthrie's Alices Restaurant?
I also have the Stones Big Hits (High Tides and Green Grass) on London records, not sure the release date but they look like they are maybe 20 years old in the insert pictures... in mint condition.
My kid years back tried to do some "scratching" on my turntable with my Ratt out of the cellar album, album ruined and had to replace the needle, plus kids ass was sore for weeks!!

I need to hook my turntable up to the computer and start burning the old records to MP3.  I used to get the really obscure stuff that never made it into the "top 20", like  Mike Curb's "Burning Bridges" (which was used as the theme song in a Clint Eastwood-Donald Sutherland movie) and "Disadvantages of You" (the music from when Benson and Hedges was allowed to advertise cigarettes on TV).  There was a single "Something in the Air" released under the name Thunderclap Newman that was supposedly made by a janitor at Apple (records, not computers) who was messing around with the Beatles recording equipment at night.

...and then there are the cassettes...

I would,nt do it but I do know a lot of Guys in London who are returning to the cassette as a useful tool to record stuff from the net i:e from you Tube etc. Unlike some stuff in this digital age, good old fashioned analouge never lets you down!

being a kid from the 80's when i was young around 9 CD plays have been around so i don't really remember time before that, i ahve 15 or so Cassettes kicking around, and i have almost everyone of those on CD as well and on my harddrive in MP3 format. however i actually listen to the bands i have on CAssette.... Pearl Jam is still my favourite band, and still jamming to deftones, alice in chains, soundgarden and stone temple pilots.
