Youtube insists on convincing me cassette tapes are cool again. Maybe everyone should stop worrying about streaming and start stocking up on blank Maxell C60s?
It makes sense if you think about it - digital music is so abdundant it feels cheap (regardless of actual price), CDs are still kinda common and pedestrian, pressing a vinyl is a pricey affair I guess. Tapes are a novelty and I suspect have to be cheaper to produce than vinyl. Sure quality might be meh but is it that important really.
Even I start to think it would be cool to have my worthless recordings released on one. Plus my stuff's often kinda inspired by early Porcupine Tree tapes, so it might fit. Gotta find desperate cassette label and have at least one piece sold, that would totally feel validating. Also I have a nice double tape Technics deck stashed away.
