Been getting into cassette tapes a bit more than is worthwhile. First modern home tape was harder to pull off than I thought. Next one I’ll have to up the ante and actually trim tape to length.

It's so cool that Philips Electronics made the compact cassette tape open and royalty free back in the 60s. This created a whole cassette culture with mix tapes, garage band recordings, boom boxes and crazy ghetto blasters, homemade tapes for sale at punk shows, four trackers and porta-studios. And the hilarious campaign from the RIAA. haha.

It's a banger of an album, by the way. You may wonder how I owned it without knowing about Byrne's involvement. Well, truth is, I owned a tape of it that a friend recorded off his vinyl, so I never got the chance to pore over the liner notes.

It was the 1980s, you see, and Home Taping Was Killing Music. At least we tried to kill it before Morrissey went solo and Van Morrison got weird. Sadly we failed in that endeavor.
