a few tidbits
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
Mix in a little Bob Mould, and have a listen to his musical interpretation of High Fidelity
If you live in Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or San Diego you would be nuts not to go see Bob Mould while he is on tour with a band (those are the remaining dates).
He is traveling with Jason Narducy (ex Verbow) on Bass and John Wurster (ex Superchunk) on Drums.
I experienced an excellent show last week in Boston, at the Paradise.
