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

As my 80s Walkman is on its way, I’m spending this afternoon sipping the odd whiskey and building a metal collection in the form of recording tapes from apple music 😄

Starting with Megadeth. 🤘

Decided last night to let somebody else enjoy the W.A.R. tape player and sold it almost immediately on eBay. I’ve now ordered a proper old unit from the 80s. Going to clean it up, new belts etc, and listen like it’s 1984. #CassetteTape #walkman

> I think I even owned that on tape

I definitely owned Happy Hour on tape, and a couple of other King Missile albums too if I remember rightly.

There was a time when I only bought tapes and refused to get a CD player. But then indie bands I liked started releasing album as CD-only, many of them burned at home. Which made me revise my opinion and embrace the CD as a DIY music disruption medium.
