My Tapes

Hi-fidelity the game spooky sounds

REO Speedwagon - Hi Fidelity, Queen - The Game, Spooky Sounds

This was one of the first tapes I ever got. It was given to me by an old lady at a yard sale. I bought a record holder from her, and she asked if I knew what it was. I was explaining to her that I did actually. While she smoked, I told her about my record player, how it played Cds and tapes and how I didn't have any cassettes but I thought they were cool. I was probably 15, and just excited to talk. She seemed happy to listen. She told me to hold on, and went back into the garage. A few moments later she returned with three cassette tapes and handed them to me. I hadn't heard any of the albums before, although some of the songs were familiar. As soon as I got home, I listened to them. Something about the way the music sounded made my mind light up. It was different than my records and CDs. There was a texture to the music that was new to me. Those three cassettes are listed here. Seperating them feels wrong, and anyways, the story is the same.

Disco Elysium OST

Disco Elysium OST

I got this tape as a secret santa gift with my college friends. Visually, I think it's my favortie cassette. I love the J-card, the clear case, the art. DE is my favorite game, and this gift meant a lot to me. I was sick when I got it, and I remember being so excited that I forgot how bad I felt.

Anthology

Diana Ross - Anthology

This tape belonged to my mom when she was my age. It isn't the sort of thing I usually listen to, but I've grown to really enjoy this album

Waiting on the sun

The Doors - Waiting on the Sun

I picked this up on a whim at a local record store. The Doors were one of my mom.s favorite band back in the day, when she met my dad. When their music is on, he always mentions her.

Give em enough rope

The Clash - Give em Enough Rope

I got this cassette from the same record shop. I hadn't heard the album before, but I picked it up based on the cover. I've gotten quite fond of this one too

Hot tracks

Nazereth - Hot Tracks

I don't listen to Nazereth a lot, but I listen to my dad making up lyrics to their songs all the time. He sings a lot, and I can go years without ever knowing who wrote the original. Like a lot of his favorite music, Nazereth has grown on me. I like the cover art of this tape, and at $3.00 I knew I was bringing this one home with me

Time's up

Living Color - Time's up

I was introduced to this band by a dear friend a few years ago, and I really love their music. I was suprised to find this tape, but very excited. I think the J-card is really cool, and its one I've seen that folds out into a full lyric book
