The lack of decent playback decks has also baffled me about this "cassette resurgence". Still, it's just like when cassettes were popular the first time: players don't last and they destroy tapes.

And hello Ike! I left you out.
Avatar ♥ 9:32pm
Dave Mandl:

@Droll: I have to admit that as a radio DJ I hate cassettes for another reason: They're impossible to cue up compared to LPs and especially CDs.

I'd be hip to Reel-to-Reel resurgence. Of course we'll all end up complaining about having to bake old tapes. The cost alone of open reel tape would keep the hipsters out, so it could be like a 70's Hi-Fi resurgence.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:37pm
Ike:

Droll, huh? I rarely had any trouble with cassettes getting eaten. Just once or twice in 20 years. Maybe I was just lucky. I had a lot more trouble with vinyl. Maybe my folks were just too cheap with the bottom-of-the-barrel needles, but our tape decks were always reliable. But yeah, when I became a college DJ, cassettes were too hard to cue and lost some of their luster.

Little Fyodor:

Hi to Al!! Long time!! Play some WoG, ha-ha!! Evan just turned over all the old WoG reel tapes to me (what we made most of the original pre-mix down recordings on) cause he woulda thrown 'em out instead! Well, there's one less usable closet, ha-ha! Have a good show, enjoying it, hope you're swell....

[staring at Ike like he just got out of prison] No real problems with cassettes during your 20-year sentence? Yeah.

Me, too. Work has been ending at 6 this week. Cold beer hits the spot.
  9:42pm
trish:

I'd splice to fix a crappy old tape with lousy levels that I love.
Splicing instead of digital editing? Scratch animations in film are still neat, and glad to learn the reel techniques, but nah-uh.
Avatar ♥ 9:45pm
pacific standard simon:

My biggest complaint about cassettes was that the big record company pre-recorded tapes would start to develop an unpleasant squeal towards the end of each side after they had been played a few times. Especially the budget line tapes.
  9:50pm
Little Fyodor:

Dave! Great to hear it's great to be heard! I'm fine.... I'd say more but I'm listening to you guys kibbutz!! Hey, you just mentioned me! I gotta listen....

Francisco Lopez, I think I saw him in Boulder several years ago, great show! (whoever it was!)

So far, my back issues of OPtion and Sound Choice have survived the culling from 3 major WA -> CA (or vice versa) moves in 20 years.
Avatar 10:00pm
Droll:

Boxes of old magazines are light compared to boxes of LPs! How many of those made it through three cullings?
Avatar ♥ 10:03pm
pacific standard simon:

I cut the LPs and cassettes down by 2/3 during the last move. Most of the cassettes that survived were homemade Over The Edge and Subgenius tapes that I hope to transfer to mp3s.

PSS, I also have a box of cassettes I'd love to transfer (to WAV or AIFF), but I refer back to my comment on lack of decent quality playback devices. If you find a way to do that, count me in!

Gotta love when the guests correct the DJ about the ID. Good riddance, NYX! Only 3 to go.
Avatar ♥ 10:13pm
pacific standard simon:

I have a USB cassette deck. Dunno about "decent quality", (the phrase sounds odd when applied to cassette tapes) but it seems to work well enough -- if only I wasn't so lazy.
Avatar 10:20pm
Droll:

Decent, in this context, is defined as "Doesn't destroy the thing you're trying to listen to".
Avatar ♥ 10:25pm
pacific standard simon:

Haven't seen THAT complaint yet from people who bought the same deck I did. The only bad reviews have been from people on the low side of the bell curve who can't understand that you have to use audio processing software to handle digital audio files.
Avatar 10:27pm
Droll:

Digital?!?! I'm trying to get a jump on the reel-to-reel fad and transfer direct.

Awesome show and very inspiring stuff! I try to pick up cassette decks from secondhand shops or refurbished 80s or early 90s units (Technics, Onkyo, Sony). Have had pretty good luck with them!

What's wrong with the Mandl track? Is it more than 2% rock and roll?
Avatar ♥ 11:32pm
Dave Mandl:

Not even 1%. Actually, I'm not sure I even remember what the track is.
Avatar ♥ 11:32pm
Dave Mandl:

It's under my "band" name, which was Tone Poets.
Avatar 11:41pm
Droll:

DM, I believe it's customary to put the band name in quotes, not the fact it was a band. It's been aired a few times, but it was always by DJs with 3 hours to fill. I mean, it takes a long time before you resort to flexis.
Avatar ♥ 11:43pm
Dave Mandl:

Well, "band" because it was just me.

Thanks Al for coming in and sparing DM the embarrassment of playing progressive rock. Without your intervention, DM would have wasted another 18-minutes of airtime on a drum solo by Moving Gelatine Plates.
