Tapes 'n Tapes!



I'm just gonna warn you now. This post is about to get hella nerdy. There's nothing cool to read here, please move along.






Still reading? OMG, LOOK AT THESE FUCKING AWESOME THINGS! They're beautiful! Remember cassettes? Remember how they would get eaten up in the player, and you'd have to gently fish out the tape? Remember the feeling of satisfaction you'd get from winding the tape back onto the spool with a ballpoint pen (Bics worked the best, only losers used pencils)?

One time, my cassette copy of "Protection" got all cracked and stopped working, so I transplanted the reels into the case of a blank cassette. I felt like a genius.

How many of these cassettes did you have? I had these, these, these, & these. Check out tapedeck.org for more!
