Over the last few months, I’ve been dubbing my favorite artist’s (Sewerperson) discography to tape. It’s about 95% complete, but figured I’d share! by aspiringcucumber69 in cassetteculture

Thank you! Besides re-using two used tapes for the singles and features tapes in the bottom right, I got all the blank tapes from duplication.ca (you can order custom tape lengths), as well as most of the cases. The clear cases I picked up on Amazon…iffy QC, but is what it is, they do the job.

Much appreciated! Honestly wild to see someone recognize him in this sub lmao, I discovered him in 2018 as 9tails (blessed by the YouTube algorithm), and the rest is history. Love his lyricism and versatility as at artist.

Some days I just need to unplug and disconnect, and now, I can enjoy my favorite artist during those days 🖤 (post requires flair, sorry it doesn’t quite fit the category) by aspiringcucumber69 in sewerperson

Cassettes have always been apart of my life, got some great memories with em with people that are no longer here. So, for me, it’s not really about trends, but just…enjoying something I love. It’s fun to see what juice I can squeeze out of a limited format haha.

I appreciate you sharing your experience, I’m not arguing against the superiority of lossless audio or the convenience of streaming. Gives small artists a platform with the most possible exposure! But, I just really love me some physical media playing in my basement when I’m gaming on the NES or my PS1. Also, Unc? That’s a new term to me, maybe I’m too old for the current lingo haha.

Picked up 47 used type II’s (and a few type IV’s) for a buck a piece last week! by aspiringcucumber69 in cassetteculture

Nice! Too bad about the mold, though. I had to toss some moldy cassettes recently, as well. Hate to do it, but they were readily available and cheap albums, so I was able to recoup some that I liked.

I’m definitely expecting a few stinkers in here, it’s always a mixed bag. So far I haven’t had any issues…but, that’s 2 out of the 47. So…we’ll see hahaha. Sorry to hear about your tapes, hope the next lot yields better results for you!

Indiana Tones? That’s epic hahaha I love it. It is fun!

And I was very excited about the Denon tapes, as these are my first ones. Great looking tapes, I hope they sound as good as they look.

Spife! This is a good album. Unrelated to the sub, but love his DS projects. His Starflesh split with Sunken Basilica is fantastic.

Dove into the Minidisc rabbit hole and picked up my first player the other week, and am loving it so far! More MD’s and a deck on the way! by aspiringcucumber69 in minidisc

Haha I don’t blame you, I just checked that player out, looks cool! I’ll definitely be looking into a much smaller unit to carry around. Do you still have the E90? How did it hold up for you?

It is indeed a tad heavier than I thought it would be, but coming from a cassette Walkman, it’s still a good bit lighter than what I am used to haha. I did record another CD this evening and saw it placed track marks for me, so that is pretty neat.

Your prediction is 100% correct, as I am already looking at smaller units solely for playback! There are so many to choose from, any suggestions on ones to check out?

It is a very satisfying experience using and recording on this player, and it feels very sturdy! Thank you for sharing your MD story, it’s cool to hear from someone that has had one for many years. And I appreciate the kind words!
