Well I wasted $10 on something kind of stupid. One of my favorite Indie music labels was having a $5 sale on albums. So I picked up a few CD's for that price. Well CD's weren't the only thing on sale for $5, so were cassettes, because Polyvinyl Records still releases cassette tapes for some reason. So I said fuck it, why not? My sound system I got from my dad is from the 90's, and has a cassette deck. Also I still have tapes I bought like 15+ years ago.
My friends really wouldn't be surprised, because I'm known as the guy at work with a music collection.
I buy vinyl and cassettes from time to time. I haven't amassed a large collection yet. But there is something about having a tangible analogue recording of something that appeals.
I tend to buy older albums on vinyl, because they were produced on analog, for analog. I think a lot of more modern albums that are digitally produced and then released on vinyl do kind of feel like the vinyl version is more of a novelty item. One of the cassettes I bought was American Football's , where you can hear that it was recorded on tape, because I can hear the tape hissing and tape distortion on it.
