Speaking of tape (and I was, but I guess I forgot to submit my post after previewing — woopsies), I have a bag containing a bunch of 1/4″ reels and a DAT, which in turn contain all of my work from an analog-electronic-(art)-music course I took while I was still a music student. Someday I may even encounter devices to read them again…

Pfft. Do I remember tape? I have a four-track recorder because I’m all about analog in areas that correspond to important senses, and you ask if I remember tape. Now I even have a use for the metal tapes, the ones I never had a reason to buy when people actually listened to tapes.

With the tape, they can’t print it to look like a record.

Remind me to PIK YOR BRANES about this when you have it perfected.

I have a LOT of vinyl. And I’m tired of waiting for The Bears’ first two albums to be rereleased on cd.

I have that Rembrandts album on TAPE. Remember tape?

My buddy Chris wants to get one of those to burn the Smashing Pumpkins album that was only available on vinyl as a pressing of maybe 20 records. You can find MP3s on DAS INTARWEB, but they are scratchy and such, natch.

It all reminds me of the heyday of printing CDs that look like records and have scratchy intros to the first track, but the sound soon smooths out afterwards. I’m not ashamed to admit I have one: The Rembrandts’ LP (what a title).
