Flexi discs have been making a small comeback,I know of a few that have been recently pressed.

I used to have a Thurston Moore cd of experimental stuff that came in an actual hoover bag. The only thing more wankish than the packaging was the 'music'.

Funnily enough, I think it actually ended up in the bin on accident.

Hey Marc Riley!

This was not the boy Lard`s first Peel Session, in 1978 he did a session for John as the Bass player in Mark`e` (grumpy git) Smith`s band The Fall. However he was soon kicked out of The Fall for allegedly disco dancing on a tour of Australia and so was forced to form The Creepers. Lard also joined the comic called Oink! and set up In-Tape records which soon went bust.

do you know of any way of recording songs off youtube onto cassette?

Keeping with the tradition of cassettes,you should hold a mic up to the speakers and tell everyone to shush! before pressing record.

if you're releasing a particularly large set of files (video or whatever) then why not?

The mini disc will rise from the ashes.....

Anyone have any mini discs? I got a player in my van.

I bought a new cassette player recently. In the last 10 or 15 years I think I only ever listened to tapes on crap stereos and I wasn't expecting an awful lot from this new player but the sound is great on this yoke. No hiss or nuthin. I threw out most of my tapes though.

The person I have in mind might like them returned at some point

Cool?

 

[Jill Hives]

"unwanted" so no, not cool.

Cassettes get a bad rap. Yes, they are almost pointless these days but they were a great format. Portable and sounded excellent. I still remember going into that stereo shop hear ha'penny bridge with my older brothers to but a boom box thing. The guy was showing off its sound with some Phil Collins. I took my Scorpions 'Blackout' tape out and we horsed it up. Sounded brilliant. That 2in1 served a long life in the family home. I believe it is still there, though I think the tape part is fucked.
