I miss the days of mixed tapes. I still have a few old cassettes kickin around somewhere as well. There’s a certain nostalgia about them

how could you not love having to rewind and fast forward for ten minutes to hear the song you really want. I mean the anticipation alone is really what make music worth it.

Me encanta, ademas el trazo me parece favuloso, se le podria dar mas juego incluso, escribiendo algo con la cinta que sale del cassette. Muy bueno

I tried listening to some of my old tapes and they are all fuzzy and grainy sounding 🙁 Before we had a video camera my mother recorded our family happenings on cassette tape. I like hearing everyone’s young voices and the voices of those that have passed on.

There are also a few cassette tapes floating around of my family too. I just bought a car that still has a tape deck in it and it’s not very old.

those were the days. the tape music scene was really big in the 80ties and early 90ties.
the wrap of the tape gives a nice effect to the tat2.
btw: mix-cd sounds somehow wrong.
mixtapes rule… some fine legacy…

I loved my casettes and still have a few. When they first came out they were like miracles compared to the 8-tracks.
(Oi, 8-tracks! Now those were a pain…)
I love that tat =)
