I redrew a bunch of old Cassette covers for fun but people told me I should do prints - if you like these and want one on your wall head over to tinyurl.com/musicassettes and you can order prints, posters, mugs and tote bags.
Sometimes after dubbing an album from vinyl to cassette, I would draw my own version of the cover art. This is the only one I still have: Iron Maiden's "Piece of Mind".
Sprucing up my mountain bike for the spring/summer season. New brake pads, new chain, cassette, and chain ring.
On Saturday, May, 21, 2016, I pulled out an album that I have not played since 1989 when I bought it and recorded it to cassette tape. It's still got its original plastic shrink-wrapping which revealed that I bought the album from Phonosound in Sandton, South Africa for the princely sum of ZAR 22.50.
"Eet Kreef" (which translates as "Eat Crayfish") by Johannes Kerkorrel en die Gereformeerde Blues Band was a seminal album in South African music history and was front and centre of the Voëlvry movement (literally "free as a bird" but here meaning outlawed) which rocked conservative Afrikaner culture to the core in 1988, and without which Afrikaans rock music, as we know it today, simply wouldn't exist.
A lot has been written about Voëlvry - its intrigues and legacies - and I'm not going to repeat any of that here. But feel free to take a look at something I blogged back in 2008.
Between the album cover and the shrink-wrapping I found some original Voëlvry stickers that I saved back in 1989. They are similar to the original lapel badges that I also have in my collection of Voëlvry memorabilia.
Historic times - glad I was there :-)
120 cassettes converted into mp3 and not counting the extras that were defective. This is the reason I was not on Flickr lately. My basement needed a good clean-up. They will be in our garage sale this coming weekend.
120 cassettes converties en mp3, sans compter celles qui était défectueuses. Voici la raison de mon manque de présence sur Flickr. Ces cassettes vont êtres dans notre vente de garage de samedi qui viens. C'était le nettoyage du printemps de mon sous-sol.
Scotch cassette ad from September of 1976. I have some Scotch audio cassettes from about this time that play fine, proving this ad to be true. Back then they didn't foresee the digital audio formats that would make audio tape obsolete, but I hope my MP3 files last as long.
Quería aprovechar el reto de Click&Go para hacer un "homenaje" a las cintas de cassette. Tengo un montón de cajas llenas y no me decido a desprenderme de ellas, cualquiera se atreve después de tantas y tantas horas que pasamos juntas escuchando música y grabando mis queridas cintas de "varios"....
A Mil Violines y otras crónicas sobre pop y humanos (2011) Kiko Amat fa l’elogi de la cinta de cassette: com que costava tant anar endavant i endarrere encertant les cançons, la gent s’acostumava a escoltar els discos sencers, tal com havien estat enregistrats pels artistes. The Kinks, Who, Kent, Michael Jackson, Elvis Costello: les cintes que Kiko Amat tenia el 1988 quan va fer disset anys.
