colossal day at Tapes HQ as the much anticipated Grayfolded cassette, socks and coffee from @imprec.bsky.social has arrived. Absolutely gorgeous presentation of the holy scroll on the j cards and I really really appreciate the titles in being in the waveforms. Just immaculate

as the sorting process continues I am finding myself drawn to the unknowns and on this day in tapes, the unknown is a wah wah and fuzz obsessed electric bluegrass adjacent band called Seatrain feat. the guy who made the music for KidPix playing bass on a pre Little Feat version of Willin’

This is obvious in retrospect but having organized part of my tape collection by “bands descended from the Yardbirds” but the Allman Brothers is by law a part of the Yardbirds extended cinematic universe by virtue of Duane Allman being in Derek and the Domonis

listen. If you want to spend more than 500 bucks on an L100 and more than 300 bucks on that Leslie, that’s your business. You can do that. Just know you’ll always be less of a man than me for both collecting such obscene wealth and then using it so poorly.

Todays adventure in mislabeled tapes brings us to the island of Hawaii. While labeled for today, it’s actually a June show. Either way it’s a delightfully dusty tape of the Dead in full garage rock mode, on this day in tapes

as luck would have it, the vast archive of recorded music in my possession does not just contain Grateful Dead music. Going outside but right up against the box with this Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen set from Cincinnati in 1970

Do you think people hated on Deodato for the same reasons people hate on Diplo and Avici today? “Oh mf is a producer/arranfer? Making pop music? Under his own name? What a chode” -a soul jazz gatekeeper in 1973, about to smoke the nastiest clove cigarette history has ever known
