Comments on: New Car + No CD Player = Cassette Tape Comeback http://www.burningoak.com/2007/06/27/bringin-cassettes-back/ Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:39:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Dad http://www.burningoak.com/2007/06/27/bringin-cassettes-back/#comment-19143 Dad Thu, 19 Jul 2007 02:24:59 +0000 http://www.burningoak.com/2007/06/27/bringin-cassettes-back/#comment-19143 So, what's the verdict? You gonna post a mix, recorded on that cool double cassette deck? I'm waiting on my payment btw. And it better have Poco, Steve Winwood (who's playing with Eric Clapton this summer I hear on his thing) and New Riders on it, at a minimum. I didn't really know that Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton were together in one of his 60's bands. Blind Faith maybe? Not sure which one. But they are playing on stage together this summer, as part of his thing he's doing. Dad So, what’s the verdict? You gonna post a mix, recorded on that cool double cassette deck?

And frankly I'm more interested in the tapes, despite the fact that you have some odd choices in there (mostly just Tina). The tape deck I could get here at a thrift shop for $10, I just as soon use one that I know is in decent condition. I am appalled that you ever doubted my intentions.

And I have this "vibe" that you're really more into my tape deck, than my music! Funny how even a "copyright protected CD" can still be recorded on tape. Maybe progress isn't progress. I don't know if I can trust you with it though. You destroyed my turntable at the age of 5. And a car at 21. Hmm. I gotta think on this. Have you grown up? I might need collateral, I'll let you know. :) Dad Yeah, I picked up on that thrift shop excursion. And I have this “vibe” that you’re really more into my tape deck, than my music!

Kristina took a shot at raiding the record store. Oh and I’ve got an new cassette update that I’ll put up in the next day or two, it’s pretty amusing.

I'd better see that tape deck in Iowa (please), because you're only going to get $10 for it on craigslist. TOM: I'd like to think that a Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits is a lot like a Beach Boys greatest hits album. I'd rather have Pet Sounds (as compared to FMac's Rumours), but I'm not going to turn it down. Fun factory, I'm sure that was your brothers. If not, no worries, the first few CD's I owned were TLC, Space Jam Soundtrack, and John Michael Montgomery. A few Euro dance tunes are nothing to be ashamed of. And how can Ace of Base even be mentioned in this day and age without a cursory reference to their only lasting hit, "The Sign." You know: "I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes, Noones gonna drag you up into the light where you belong... I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes, I could be happier living without you, oh oh oh." etc, etc. Anyways, I guess I'll end on that note...

(i don't know if you heard of ace of base either. if not, don't worry... it's not exactly timeless stuff. they were huge in poland, but dance/club music is pretty much a national symbol there). as far as your tape deck, i think you could find a buyer. some people will spend a fortune on the most random stuff online these days.

I gotta admit I'd love hearing the polish versions of those you mentioned. And I for one, can "testify" that I don't think I've ever heard either a Backstreet Boys full album, or who the hell was that second one? I'm thinking of putting my dual tape deck on craig's list.
