And another one!
So it looks like an addiction, however digital music has nothing in common with analog.

And remembering some world events that happened last year, it's a huge advantage that this music will be always yours, no matter how digital platforms and labels are acting motivated by the worlds' politics.

I got these 3 at the same time as the two previous ones: "Lock up the wolves" and "Dream Evil" by Dio, and "Long Live Rock'n'roll" by Rainbow.
A lot of Ronnie James Dio in this!

At the time I bought them I had never listened to those albums but I love the bands so I thought I would give them a try!

A pretty interesting thing on Dream Evil is that the art is sideways compared to most cassettes I've seen!

These two next tapes, I got a bit randomly at the same time as the previous one (Holy Diver by Dio). The seller had those and I though "Oh well, why not". I had never listened to Anthrax but was curious about it, and hadn't listened to this album by Dio but it was a live album with several songs I liked, so why not indeed.

The tapes are "State of Euphoria" by Anthrax and "Intermission" by Dio.

I have to admit I haven't listened to these tapes much yet, so I'm not sure if I like them or not. I was too obsessed by listening to Holy Diver on loop and then got other tapes... I'll come back to them eventually!

This is my most prized possession (sentimentally) : "Holy Diver" by Dio 🤟

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it on tori.fi so I immediately messaged the seller but he didn't reply for a full month 😭 When he finally replied, he explained that he was traveling but that the tape was still available! I was so relieved :blobBlush:

This is one of my favorite albums ever so I'm really happy to have a physical copy of it! I've since seen the LP a few times but so far I've resisted buying it because I prefer using my money for things that I don't already have in another format... let's see how long that holds 😅

Bonus funny tweet about this album, you're welcome :blobInnocent:
Also bonus fun fact: my tumblr URL, likearainbowinthedark, comes from a song on this album!

The very first tapes I bought were "Use Your Illusion II" by Guns N' Roses, and "The Miracle" by Queen, around the end of July 2022.

I got them from tori.fi from a guy who didn't speak any English so I guess it was a good exercise for my Finnish skills 😅
They were also the first tapes I used to test my Walkman 💚

I knew a few songs from both albums but had never listened to them fully, and I ended up really loving them both! Now listening to them again I have immediate flashbacks to me riding my bike in the summer with gn'r blasting in my ears :blobRave:

PS: I learnt today that you're not supposed to store your tapes not rewinded, so I rewinded them just after taking the pics

Here's yet another endless thread from your dear Ikol :blobInnocent:

Today I'm talking about physical music! Is that the right word? Like tapes, CDs & LPs 💿

I started getting tapes last summer, and now that my wife bought a turntable/CD/cassette player and installed it in our living room, my inner hipster awoke and I've been browsing LP stores on a regular basis :blobCatShades:

First I wanted to explain the few reasons why I'm interested in physical music stuff:
1) I just really like the ritualistic feel of it: taking a tape out of its box, flipping a vinyl, rewinding, etc. It makes my brain go brrr
2) I've been feeling much more relaxed listening to music that I can't skip, like I'm forced to sit down and listen to the whole damn album, unlike when I'm on Spotify and there's so much choice that I never know what to listen, and I haven't listened to a full album there in years (except for my metal discovery thread)

-- CW for (Ukrainian) war, apocalypse and the end of civilization as we know it --

3) That's more on my wife's side, but we've been thinking lately (especially with the Ukrainian war and the downfall of Twitter) about how all our music is on Spotify and we don't own any of it, so that if Spotify and/or the internet falls we have nothing to listen to. I know, priorities... but still! We would like to own some of our favorite music just in case, and as a bonus we get to support some artists.

So there you have it! I've mostly been buying tapes on tori.fi, a Finnish website where people sell their old stuff, and a few vinyls in second hand vinyl shops, but I also bought a few new items.

In this thread I'll occasionally post about some new music I got and I'm excited about :blobAww:

@john Saved for later, looks amazing!
I never had tube amps, but am diving deeply into the world of and since I opened a Vinyl cafe/listening bar here in Switzerland earlier this year. The audiophile rabbit holes go deeeeeep… 🕳️
