More Tapes, More Problems: The YTSW3 Aftermath

Thanks to everyone for the feedback on my latest Yeah They Still Work (YTSW) video on cassette tapes. Many people asked to see my collection, so here are some pics!

The motherload.  Not as organized as usual, but the tapes go two levels deep.

i always labeled my mixtapes with a number.  I added the date for later ones.  Here's close to the end of my mixtape era in 1999.

I also labeled the backs with Title and Artist. if I didn't know, I just guessed

I also had plenty of store bought tapes ... Don't Be Cruuuueeelll

I always loved the font choices for album covers. This one is particularly fancy, especially given Bobby Brown's content

I'm a huge fan of liner notes, and I miss them from most digital downloads.

And of course, you get amazing album art!

Yeah They Still Work 3: Cassette Tapes

This is the latest post in my Yeah They Still Work (YTSW) series, where I review my old tech that still works and brings me joy.  

Do you still have your cassette tapes? I grew up in a family of DJs so I was surrounded by vinyl records and cassette tapes. In fact, I didn't switch over to CDs until the late 90s. I still have a subset of my favorite tapes even though the majority of my music is now digital.

Check out YTSW 1 on the minidisc (post and video) and YTSW 2 on the Double Dribble Tiger handheld (post and video)
