CASSETTE is a feature-length documentary that celebrates the past, present, and future of an endearing musical format.

nothing bumps harder in a good car sound system other than a pioneer tape deck. switching to cds and ipod has had certain perks, however the over all thundering low end of the cassette is unchallenged even by digital. also, I have only one word to explain the thriving of the cassette.. Africa ;)

The mix tapes shown there include, among others, Johnny Thunders' "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory", the Minutemen, the Stones' "Beast Of Burden" and the Raincoats' "Fairytale in the Supermarket". Not bad at all!

Cassettes are my favorite format. They fit in your pocket, they're easily recordable, they're great. There are always blank ones at the Salvation Army by my house, so I always nab 'em when I can.

I've been enjoying the small printing cassette release by Tom Carter and mv/ee and Ecstatic Peace over the past few years - I tell people, sometimes I just want to listen to music, I don't want to wait while the cd loads or the file loads and fight the drivers and all the digital shit that keep me waiting when I want IMMEDIATE relief. I've got lots of cassettes from the 80s that still play fine.

I just got one of these: http://www.listentocolour.com/09/innerworship.php

still have to figure out how to hook up my tape deck to my stereo amp while using these Harmon/Kardon computer speakers coming out of my tape-out jacks: http://www.harmankardon.com/EN-US/Pr...SOUNDSTICKS3AM
