When did it ever leave!?


If you haven't noticed in the last two years, cassette tapes are making their way back into music media. For people like myself, they never left. I've relied on tapes as far back as I can remember and rely on them for my music listening pleasure on a daily basis, far more then CDs, LPs, 45s, and MP3s. Try to also look at it like this... their scratch proof, heat resistant, good with storage, and cheap! Tapes cover the floor of my truck, but I can still pop any one of them in the tape deck and it works like a charm. You can let them bake in your car on hot Californian summer days, still works. You can even get them wet! Shake 'em out, they work. I wonder if in another 10 years people will start making CDs again, and that'll be the throwback vintage DIY thing to do...
