Between Dirty Projectors’ Bitte Orca and Deerhunter’s new EP, it might be time to invest in a Case Logic. The Atlanta band’s Platts Eyott Session cassette was available only at last year’s Halloween gig, but the Rainwater Cassette Exchange tape will be available throughout their tour. You can make art out of it.

I USED TO HAVE A TAPE OF ENYA LOVED IT A LOT LOL:)
Add Sky Larkin’s new “Antibodies” EP to that list: http://www.weareskylarkin.com/2009/05/antibodies-cassette-first-glipse/
are tapes less “green” than CDs? certainly less than digital downloads. do i really want to buy a cassette deck? these questions i ask. and then i don’t buy platts’ cassette.
hipster bullshit.
don’t forget the pearl jam ten deluxe reissue
This is just stupid. At least with CD’s, you have a portable medium that doesn’t degrade with repeated plays. With vinyl, you have the (arguably) warmer, richer sound of analog.. There are no endearing qualities to cassettes. What’s the fucking point of a revival?
As for the comment above — On a high end deck with quality tape, a cassette can outperform any other format, other then the best reel to reels. There are myriad endearing qualities to cassettes: rich warm analog sound, compactness, reusability, diversity (every deck and every variety of tape imprints a unique fingerprint on the sound, ease and affordability of production, amenability to DIY both in terms of hobby cassette deck repair maintenence, and creation and distribution of music, A good walkman will sound better than any discman or pod, unless ones mind has become attuned to the shallow empty sound of mp3s/cds. Ok, I’ll admit that some CD players do sound excellent, however they are not portable, and I know of no discman that can beat a good quality cassette walkman. Cassettes make a perfect companion to vinyl collections, as you can make mixes while maintaining analog integrety, and you can fit several vinyls onto one tape.
