I'll have the Flights tape, For This World Is Hollow... tapes and patches. the gig is free, so come and save money on postage, buy some stuff, see some bands (including Avoid The Morning) and have a good time. https://www.facebook.com/events/437565233055985/?ref=ts&fref=ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yeah its cool if you want to buy a record, and never listen to it i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Oh I agree it's absolutely ridiculous. It does seem to be a thing just now though. The Trilogy Tapes and Opal Tapes are both quite cool in the techno world right now and release music on cassette. It just seems like a pointless nostalgia exercise.

Alkaline Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I draw the line at tapes personally but they seem to be popular amongst the DIY labels at the moment. I'd be interested in getting some Needleman vinyl done at some point but only if it was neon green like my BC Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 You'd be just as well going for a mini disk release, or make a video you can only watch using a betamax player. Just seems like such a waste of money. Surely the whole point in releasing something is to encourage people to listen to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 They usually give out bandcamp download codes with them. Great, so its an even bigger waste of time then. Buy a tape, you will never be able to play, so you can get a code to download the music for free anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of tapes, but there's definitely a niche audience for them in the DIY scene, and plenty of people still have tape-decks. A very old band of mine released a tape, and when we did a short jaunt around the country, we shifted more tapes than CDs. It's weird. I wasn't fully onboard with the tapes, but when they were done, they looked pretty neat. They were bright green. These days, physical releases seem to be as much about collecting as it is the music on the format. People like to collect stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
