  1. Qualche acquisto su Discogs: Dookie è abbastanza vissuto (sia il booklet che la cassetta presentano segni di usura, si vede che l'hanno ascoltata tanto, I feel you bro) mentre Insomniac è praticamente nuovo.

    Sono edizioni EU degli anni '90, Dookie ce l'avevo ma chissà che fine ha fatto, e con buona approssimazione è anche stata l'ultima cassetta che ho comprato/ascoltato, mentre Insomniac è stato uno dei primi album a segnare il passaggio al CD.

  2. The recent revival of audio cassettes has me thinking about the music formats I've lived through and why they might inspire some nostalgia for folks who didn't live through the same eras. https://jallbarret.writeas.com/when-my-memories-become-someone-elses-nostalgia

  3. I’m not entirely sure what started it, but a little while back I decided to start collecting all the Shamen albums on tape (Boss Drum was the last album I bought on tape before moving up to CDs), which soon ended up including the singles as well. I stopped after a while but I recently started again, picking up another couple. I’ve only got two more left to get now (I’m only going for the UK releases), if I can get the original Pro>gen single and the Hempton Manor album, that’ll be the lot I think!

  5. An exciting #music comparison, even if it naturally has weaknesses. The choice of devices is debatable and we listen to it on YT. What was interesting: I differ with his findings: For me(!) #Vinyl sounded the worst - too dull. And #audiocassette holds up pretty well. I even prefer it even over vinyl

  6. Taking the #physicalmedia to extremes. Just dug this bad boy out. It's 30 years old & works perfectly (except for AM radio). Lost my #tarot card reading cassette though. Had not listened to it... Hopefully hidden whilst on the sherbets & not binned! Time now to make some tapes... Thoughts & feelings etc. No 13 Reasons Why shit though! #K7 #cassette #audiocassette

    #Audiocassette tapes first appeared on the market in the early nineteen-sixties, but it would take about a decade before they came to dominate it. And when they did, they’d changed the lives of many a music-lover by having made it possible not just to listen to their albums of choice on the go, but also to collect and trade their own custom-assembled listening experiences
    J'adore ! A la #phonotheque #soundarchives on a des.milliers de ces #cassettes de toutes les couleurs

    Went down a bit of a rabbit hole today, checking out vintage Walkmans.

    I won a baseball hitting competition back in 1985ish as a kid, and the first prize was a Sony Walkman WM-F10 model, which was at the time (and I think to this day) the smallest cassette tape audio player ever made.

    Sadly, someone stole it from me a few years later.

    Saw a video on a restore of the WM-10, the radio-less version of this machine, so dived a bit into ebay etc.

    HOLY COW. WM-10s, WM-F10s, WM-150s, broken "for parts" are selling for $300, $400, or more. One pristine one with new belts etc sold recently for $750!!!

    What's weird is, this isn't audiophile stuff. The WM-10 was horrible for audio. The WM-150, as I recall (my girlfriend had one) was really good for audio on the other hand. Those in working condition sell over $500 today.
