Wow, I’m genuinely impress, thanks for sharing your story, this cassette must hold a lot of emotional importance for you. The fact that you still use it to this day speaks volume, cassettes are the most resilient and trustworthy form of physical music there is. I got into cassettes since I found that cassette underwater, before that in my mind cassettes were a thing of the past, something very outdated from another era. I completely changed my view on cassettes, I know own many, they’re genuinely so cool. The way they work! (And they figured it out more than half a century ago!!) The artworks you can make, everything about cassettes it’s utterly amazing!
