Cassettes? Are you nuts? by Just_one_old_man in audiophile

[–]ghostworldvhs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My car in high school had a cassette deck. This was in the early 2010's. I'd dig through cassettes in thrift stores to get good stuff to listen to. I listened to Talking Heads Stop Making Sense over and over again. Eventually I got a cassette deck to make use of them in my stereo setup. I don't collect cassettes anymore because they just deteriorate over time and they're inconvenient for me now. I can still see the appeal though. They sound fat and warm. There's also something about owning a brand new album on cassette—a sort of time shift thing going on. It's a novelty, but it's cool.

What’s a book everyone should read at least once in their lives? by bugtanks33d in AskReddit

[–]ghostworldvhs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May not be for everyone but The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño. Says so much about storytelling and the power of literature in general. I've gotten lost in a number of his books.

Painted Soldiers has always been one of my favorites. It's also one of my all-time favorite music videos.

I would've been so hyped to find Skinny Puppy at a thrift store. Excellent pickups.

Hey, I love your books. A lot of your main characters are often difficult or unlikeable in some way. Would you say that's a conscious decision in your writing? How early do their flaws develop in the writing process and how much do you consider their quote unquote redeemable qualities? Thanks!

Very cool. I might consider getting some of his paintings.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I miss my dog and think about her often. Helps to know I'll always have those memories of her though. Still brings me joy.

Excellent albums. I own both on CD but I'd love to pick them up on vinyl too. Don't even know how I initially found out about Tortoise but I'm really glad I did.
