Couple of comps I've been listening to while doing the dishes this week. #cassunday
I love it when you read about a musician and it gives you a whole new appreciation of their music. Beta's book is a must-read!
"Fear is my least favourite emotion; I want to be responsible for creating as little of it as possible."
"'The see-saw of life just tips, doesn't it?' he said. 'And it is downhill all the way.'"
I always keep a boombox and a stack of tapes in the classroom where I work. Sometimes I invite students to take the "cassette tape challenge". The challenge is to get music playing in under a minute. Not many of them manage it. #cassunday
Haven't bought a record in a long time, but I couldn't resist this one from the Discreet crew - described by them as 'marvellous peak summer music' - with wonderful hand-painted sleeves. DIY bliss. worldofechomusic.com/collections/...
"How can I know what I think unless I see what I write? My writing is a submarine or spaceship that takes me to the unknown worlds inside my head. And the adventure is endless and inexhaustible. If I learn to build the right vehicle, then I can discover even more territories."
Unhurried, ruminative tunes from Galaxy Train Tapes #cassunday galaxytrain.bandcamp.com/album/the-cl...
"Breathe, my friend, inhale this insignificance that's all around us, it is the key to wisdom, it is the key to a good mood..."
Lovely to hear this floating around the house this afternoon. Joanne Robertson on AD93 #cassunday
Weighty jams by SML and a great sounding tape from @intlanthem.bsky.social #cassunday
Great album of Curtis Mayfield covers by Devon Russell, reissued by 333, an offshoot of Death Is Not The End. Perfect for a summer's day, or any day really! #cassunday
And the award for best album title, band name and cover art goes to Drugs Are Nice by Suckdog! (The music's nuts too) #cassunday
Great news to wake up to (thanks Dan!) Inspired me to dig out Papa's Ear, which got the day off to a dreamy start!
I love these tapes from A Colourful Storm. They always look and sound so great. The latest from Nein Flower is a winner! boomkat.com/labels/a-col... #cassunday
"We need a new approach. And I believe that finding Albion is the key."
I couldn't have imagined how much I needed Tenniscoats playing some of their classics over hip hop beats before hearing this tape! #cassunday
Was a bit nonplussed when I listened to this digitally, but it sounds great on tape! #cassunday
"There were rooms in the mind where a person could go when necessary. There were whole worlds of rooms in the mind." #booksky
"The worst thing ... was that if the terrorists' goal was to annihilate the world as he knew it, to annihilate the modern world, he couldn't entirely blame them."

My damn camera's broken, so here's one from the archive. Forgot I had this, so that was a nice surprise! #cassunday
