It looks like this still is a thing, hopefully it will continue to get better. 

Cassette Store Day is back!

CASSETTE STORE DAY RETURNS FOR THIRD YEAR
October 17th 2015


Cassette Store Day is back this autumn on October 17th with a day of global celebrations and more international partners than ever before.

Founded by UK indie labels Suplex Cassettes, Kissability, and Sexbeat in 2013, last year’s Cassette Store Day saw prolific tape lovers Burger Records at the helm of US releases and events.

This year they are joined by Rice is Nice in Australia, Arch Hill in New Zealand, andMansions and Millions in Germany.

Co-founder Jen Long of Kissability said, “Cassette tapes aren’t just a format, they’re a culture, and cassette culture is as much about collaboration as doing it yourself. This year we’ve gone even further to try and include as many tape fans around the world. We want as many people as possible to be able to get involved and put out a tape, put on a gig or event, or get hold of that release they really want.”

Burger Records add, “The snowball that is Cassette Store Day rolls into 2015 bigger, better and badder than ever before!!! When we’re done spreading the good word of our fave format no one will ever ask “why cassettes?” again!!! BURGER BELIEVE THAT!!!”

Applications to be a part of Cassette Store Day will open for events, shops, and labels onJuly 11th and close on September 1st. It will be free to list your store or event, with a small admin fee of £5 (or relative amount outside the UK) for labels looking to list an official release.

This year labels will also be able to sell their releases online on Cassette Store Day instead of having to wait a week after. Jen Long explained, “While we still want as many stores as possible involved, we felt there was too much burden on understaffed shops to order from the release list and smaller labels were being left out. We also felt that fans in more remote areas were excluded from the celebrations if they didn’t have a store in their area. Hopefully this way we can include everyone for the best Cassette Store Day yet.”

My local store posted a picture of some CSD tapes they've gotten in and there was only one copy of Broom. Going to be pretty upset if I don't get it..

 

On the bright side, only 21 people have confirmed on their Facebook event page, because it's CASSETTE Store Day and nobody cares about cassettes.

EDIT: From the CSD website I've figured out which ones I might try to pick up if they're leftover

Alex G - Beach Music

Self Defense Family - German Industrial Ballads

Sleeping Bag & Rozwell Kid - Dreamboats

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Broom

Andrew Jackson Jihad - Christmas Island

UO Mixtape: Volume 11

Sports - Naked All The Time

No worries, buddy. Thanks for the heads up. I'll give Bull Moose a shot.

 

We aren't participating in CSD this year, but it appears that we will be able to get some of the Beach Slang cassettes next week. We hope to have one for each of you, so let's all keep our fingers crossed over the weekend.
