It’s a Tape Dispenser – Get it?

Love the use of the iconic cassette tape form as a scotch tape dispenser on this product.

The Philips Company of the Netherlands invented and released the first compact audio-cassette in 1962.

Makes me remember with great fondness the days mixing up a really good (and sublimely meaningful) tape in the mode of the ultimate mix-tape book, High Fidelity, by Nick Hornby.  There was great joy when the recipient actually understood what you were getting at.  Fortunately, that kind of backhanded communication vehicle is not a lost art, it has just morphed on into other things…

Mix in a little Bob Mould, and have a listen to his musical interpretation of High Fidelity.  How’s that for a random loop?
