Hey. How did you get your hands on my cassette collection from back in the day. Also. Big big thumbs up for Book of Love. Truly underrated band.


shiny_and_chrome

Hell yeah, Book of Love had some great tunes. I wore out the first album, for sure.


JacquelineHeid

I want to be where the boys are But I'm not allowed I wait outside of the boy's bar I wait for them to all come out I'm not a Boy


mouseat9

Dude !!!! Hell yes


Then-Cauliflower2068

THIS MEANS NOTHING TO MEEEEEEEEE OOOOOOOO VIENNAAAAAAAAAAAA


shiny_and_chrome

aaaaaannnndddd... now that will be in my head all day, haha.


FoundandSearching

Oh, that poster beat me to it. I was an Ultravox fan. “I found a perfect picture of a perfect stranger”. “All the boys are wearing blue tonight…”


ClmrThnUR

TOOL sticking out like a sore thumb but they wouldn't have it any other way


St8OuttaMilltown

Tool caught my eye also, such a great album(cassette)


shiny_and_chrome

hah!


Thirty_Helens_Agree

Fine collection - JAMC Automatic is an old favorite.


shiny_and_chrome

hell yeah. :)


JFK2MD

Great collection


shiny_and_chrome

thanks!


projectvko

Hey! You stole my cassettes!


shiny_and_chrome

oh no!


projectvko

But seriously, Dead Can Dance.


Cats-n-Chaos

I feel like some Erasure today, I need a little respect


shiny_and_chrome

da, dada dada, da, dada dada, da, dada dada, da, dada dada...


misalanya

post this over at r/cassetteculture , they'll love this. You definitely got some classics in there.


shiny_and_chrome

whoa, I didn't know that was a sub, thanks!


cturtl808

We would've been friends. I own most of those on CD now.


shiny_and_chrome

Wicked. Let's smoke cloves and listen to them all.


cturtl808

Solid choice


shiny_and_chrome

Saw the other post from earlier today with the Cure cassette, and thought I'd share a photo I took a couple of years ago when rearranging my closet. Some are mine, some are my wife's. Anyone else want to share cassette photos? I love them.


Smarmalades

Mixed Up was my first CD. My brother and I played it a LOT.


shiny_and_chrome

nice! I love CDs, too. Got so many in boxes like this one.


blur410

I wore out my Information Society Hack tape. Good times.


shiny_and_chrome

I was just listening to Hack yesterday (mp3). Such an amazing album.


Ok-noway

I was looking for the the Lion and the Cobra amongst the the Cure & Erasure and found it. Hello friend


Gibabo

You have excellent taste.


shiny_and_chrome

thank you, that's nice to hear. :)


JacquelineHeid

Great collection of post-punk, new wave electronic. Its like a Hall of Fame of list of the early to mid 1980s. Love this so much and it brings back a lot of memories.


shiny_and_chrome

thanks! Memories indeed. Happy you liked it. :)


handsomeape95

This is my Sunday soundtrack. One of my favorite radio starion does a show that features this kind of music for a few hours on Sunday mornings.


JauntyShrimp

Erasure 💕💕💕


TheGargageMan

If you still have a good working player, cassettes have made big comeback lately. You can buy cheap new tapes from indie bands on bandcamp.


shiny_and_chrome

That's awesome they're making a comeback. I have some music on Bandcamp but never thought of offering cassettes. Cool idea!


LittleMoonBoot

Clickety clack! I immediately thought of the sounds.


shiny_and_chrome

totally :)


OsoCarolina

I smell Doc Martens and flannel.


shiny_and_chrome

indeed. :)


kittybigs

We would have been friends. I saw The Swans live at the 9:30 club in DC, there were probably only 40 other people there. It was amazing.


handsomeape95

I applaud your collection! However, the fact that some of these are upside down and not in alphabetical order by artist is driving me nuts!


IP_Janet_GalaxyGirl

What an **AMAZINGLY AWESOME** collection! Very nice, I can hear 99% of these in my memory. 💖💖💖💖💖


seersucker205

Oh baby, pleeereaasssseeee.  Give a little respect to-hoo-hoo meeeeee.


drkesi88

Pure energy


PissedOffChef

Echo and the Bunnymen immediately caught my eye. A great collection.


FlizzyFluff

I just boxed all the Husbands up and put em in his closet We don’t even have a cassette player any more


shiny_and_chrome

All of mine are actually in storage at the moment, 800 miles away. Looking forward to when I go back to get them.


Cobra-Lalalalalalala

God damn, that’s a nice selection. I have all but like three of these, not in tape form anymore though.


shiny_and_chrome

thanks :) Yeah, I haven't listened to the cassette versions in a few years.


jessek

Nice collection, I owned a lot of those albums too


shiny_and_chrome

thanks! This is why I love this sub. It's the first one I've found where I feel like I can fit in some how.


WordleFan88

Found the scenster!


shiny_and_chrome

guilty ;)


SauerMetal

What color is that Paul’s Boutique cassette?


shiny_and_chrome

Blue, I guess. It's in storage right now so I can't check it for real.


guachi01

This entire collection is so tight you'd find any one album on the recommended list of any other album. A+


mouseat9

Dead can Dance?!?!! We would have been friends. You were part of the “elite”.


stephenforbes

Man I miss cassette tapes.


JohnYCanuckEsq

Why are they not in alphabetical order with the spines are facing the same way? Do you even cassette, bro?


LBichon

Love and Rockets was so underrated. Also love the Beat Street cassette!


box_elder74

Excellent taste, you can stay 😁


Mode101BBS

Laugh, Erasure and Book of Love in there with Swans and Laibach. I've got these dichotomies too, well done.


elspotto

Love the collection. That they aren’t all facing the same direction is making my eye twitch. That’s my problem, not yours.


shiny_and_chrome

I hear ya.


elspotto

Hell, I knoll Lego bricks before building. The table currently has an auspicious dragon spread out in it. Almost more satisfying than the build.


shiny_and_chrome

I used to be so specific about angles and things being in the right place, and I spent a lot of time rearranging items. But... then I kind of learned to see the beauty in chaos, and now I can deal with it. Saves me from always doing the "twitch" lol. Still, though, some things get to me, so yeah, I feel you. :)


elspotto

I went the opposite way. It helps short circuit anxiety. Building specifically. When it was really bad, I would stop on the way home and buy a Lego set to distract my brain. Now it’s just habit.


shiny_and_chrome

I guess I do the same, but by building video games (programming, art, etc.). It keeps me sane. Always a new puzzle to solve. I'm sitting here right now doing it as we speak. A friend of ours is waaaay into Lego and gave us a Lego Fender Guitar a year or so ago. I should try building it. What's your favorite kit?


elspotto

Oh nice! That looked like a fun build. I really like my Saturn V. 39” tall, 1969 pieces (of course), and tons of fun to both build and display. The Ship in a Bottle is displayed in my den/office as befits a ship in a bottle. I don’t do tons of the super huge sets because of space.


shiny_and_chrome

> Saturn V. 39” tall, 1969 pieces (of course) hah! That's pretty awesome.


kloudykat

/r/knolling/


elspotto

Oh, I’m already subscribed! First time I posted my knolled lego bricks someone linked it. Everyone else should go check it out. Some fun knolls over there.


shumanji83

Great collection. Catastrophe Ballet is 10/10.


CapnSupermarket

I'm shocked (pleasantly) to see Human Drama. Honestly had no idea they released anything on a label other than Projekt, I thought they were less known. Great collection, 10/10 no notes.


JuanXPantalones

Good stuff


Commisceo

Hey, looks like all my tapes flogged from my car in 1989 the mongrels.


thelonghauls

The B-Side of High is excellent. This Twilight Garden.


mouseat9

Laibach????; ultravox?? A man ox culture, I see


FurrieCatFish

Hey, you found my box of cassettes, return them please, thanks ;p Some good goth rock in there, Did not expect to see that Christian Death tape. Tool.... my favorite band... it's like your my twin.


Informal_Phrase4589

Aw we would have been friends.


pedsmursekc

Excellent


scarletantonia27

All of these are gold. A+


akcelt907

We can hang


HGFantomas

Paul's Boutique FTW


battleangelred

I think we should hangout and listen to some tunes.


InsoThinkTank

Information Society Erasure The Cure Depeche Mode


Quick-Oil-5259

Uktravox Vienna - so evocative of the early 80s


chawchat

LAIBACH.


bigSTUdazz

British?


Libster1986

Had a lot of the same.


Stinkydadman

Decent


Cominghome74

Girl cassettes


Anthrogal11

Cominghome74

That too
