From freezing on the spot as the song on the radio show started to fade, hoping that the show’s presenter will not start talking too soon, to recording your innermost feelings for an adorable target of the other or the same sex, swapping rare items with knowledgeable friends, reading about social outcasts doing Einstürzende Neubauten impersonations in self-designed 50 item editions in rural areas (amongst countless other releases from the very same month and even weirder), getting hands on the 46th copy of that particular DJ playing that particular club in that particular year: As far as formats are concerned, cassettes were always, and will always be the sensualist’s choice.
Hey you, the one sorting your 16th mobile terabyte Hard Disk into the shelf, listen to this!
