Update: aight, I’m keeping it. Check out my new next gen audio rig 3000:
I cleaned it out and it seems to work fine. The drive belts seem okay: not dry, but maybe a little loose, although the BPM of the music sounds about right. I paid $50 for it.
I have no bloody idea why I’d need it or would want to keep it. I just wanted to try it out, knowing that the store’s policy is “no questions asked” if I return it within 30 days. Also, retro is fun…?🤣
My one remaining tape is a mix I recorded in my late teens, put together to ruin other people’s parties. One or two dance songs, then a burst of death metal, then some more pop before whatever schlager or polka BS I could find in my parents’ collection. And so forth for 90 minutes.
Unsurprisingly, nobody would let me near the stereo at parties after a while, and joke’s on me. I’m stuck with the Tape of Terror all those years later 🤣
It might be fun to compose mix tapes again, but you’d have to find other cassette deck owners to share them with.
Post the mix >:)
I don’t even have the tracklist anymore, and currently nothing to play it on. But keep an eye out here, one day in the distant future I might be able to post it! 🙂
Did I just cross paths with the coolest person on the face of the earth? 🤣
It’s probably cool to read about. The people I went to school with were not amused, however 😄
Probably. But I’d sit in the corner with you, laughing my ass off.🤘
I appreciate that 🤣 Weirdos stick together!
