Still going with killing the music industry little by little - I’m very pleased with the player. It’s not a Sony (they are all Walkman to me) but sounds really good. Gave it a thorough clean and changed belts and it’s great. Very loud!

I’m 6 albums down so far. #cassettes #CassetteTape #HomeTapingIsKillingMusic

Five cassettes full of Hard Bop now, will do some more today. I mocked up covers for them all. They get the Blue Note treatment whether they are on that label or not, I just like the design and they look better on the shelf 😄 #cassettes #tapes #HomeTapingIsKillingMusic #xp

First one recorded, one of the BASF CR-E II. Forces of Nature (Live At Sluggs), and it sounds excellent. Like new. Gives me hope for the rest of them.

Starting to buy up old decent quality cassettes when I see them to re-record. These were all less than £1 each. Time will tell if that’s a good investment!

I gave Suno the AI music generator the first part of the Nodes of Yesod 'poem' about 'catch a mole, find a hole,' etc. Nothing else in the prompt.

It came up with this. IDK, quite catchy.

Been getting into cassette tapes a bit more than is worthwhile. First modern home tape was harder to pull off than I thought. Next one I’ll have to up the ante and actually trim tape to length.
