Keyblade
12.28.12 | tapes are elite |
foxblood
12.28.12 | i have a lot of shoegaze cassettes. even the rare ones are cheap as hell it's awesome |
MoosechriS
12.28.12 | yeah the cheapness rules, i picked up entombed left hand path on tape for 1 pound a while ago which was probably my fave tape purchase in a while. |
DamnVanne
12.28.12 | I've never both owned cassetes and used cassetes at the same time, but I currently have Yes' Close to the Edge and Supertramp's Crime of the Century just for the novelty of having those albums on every available format. |
JoshTh
12.28.12 | Definitely satisfied at how cheap they are. Most of these were $6AUD. Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and David Bowie records (in shitty condition) are usually being sold for $35+ at the store. |

12.28.12 | I have a big collection of cassettes of different local bands and bigger ones like Marilyn Manson, Metallica, Green Day, The Rasmus, etc. etc. When I was younger I told myself I'll stick with cassettes forever rather than CDs, haha. |

JoshTh
12.28.12 | Sweet deal! I'm definitely going to go check out Amazon now. |

12.28.12 | cassettes are fun until they decide to spaz out and congeal tape everywhere |
JoshTh
12.28.12 | I thought that was half the fun?
|
thumbcrusher
12.28.12 | i think the resale vale would be low though |
Grimlin
12.28.12 | depends on the tape. i have some tapes i could make some good money on if i ever decided to get rid of them |
Grimlin
12.28.12 | i think i'm somewhere around 400 atm. they're just so goddamn cheap, it's easy to buy a few at a time. a good deal of the stuff i have only comes on tape |
Minus.
12.28.12 | I used to hate when i'd leave a cassette laying around my car exposed to the sun and it would ruin the sound. |
JoshTh
12.28.12 | Does anyone know of any active bands that still release tapes? And a website to buy them off? |
Grimlin
12.28.12 | lots of active bands still release on tape, and lots of websites (labels/distros) sell them. google is your friend |
ITsHxCTOASTER
12.28.12 | Yeah tons of bands man, typically black metal or ambient/noise/power electronics/industrial that kind of thing |
XingKing
12.28.12 | You pretty much have to look up a bands merch to find cassettes, although sometimes a label will print them. A lot of hardcore/skramz bands do it too in addition to the above. |
DeafMetal
12.28.12 | cassette culture |
wabbit
12.28.12 | what's the sound quality from cassettes compared to 320kps dls, vinyl and cds? |
wabbit
12.28.12 | so like it's good for bm and punk. |
manosg
12.28.12 | I used to buy cassettes and felt great watching at my collection, they looked so many. Now when I compare my cassettes collection to my digital collection it looks really poor. |
JoshTh
12.29.12 | ^Isn't that the case for any person who is interested in music and has access to the internet and the knowledge to use torrents? |
