You can use any old tape. Just put tape over the tabs and record away.

I keep lists on both deadformat and discogs. I like the one page list of deadformat, and there are a lot of releases I have that are not on discogs. If I am looking for pressing info, I go to discogs every time. Also, keeping a wantlist on discogs and getting the daily emails is great!

If you have a lot of tapes, I find this to be way better than trying to put them all on a shelf. I need to buy like 3 more of them for the rest of my tapes. I just wanted to check out one first to make sure I liked it. Highly recommended!

I picked up a Helmer from Ikea yesterday. Best thing I've found yet for cassette storage! Fits 46 tapes per drawer. Doesn't take up much space either. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40107872/#/60296126

Ordered a color copy of each LP shortly after they went up! Really glad that I passed on buying the recent euro bootlegs of these.

Good record!

I have had several random thrift store cassette decks over the years, but am currently using a Tascam 102. There was a very noticeable difference when I upgraded from my early 90's JVC deck to this one. This thing plays tapes more clearly than any other deck I have owned. not my picture...

I agree on the great food... but the city that you live in is better record shopping than Baltimore. (especially if you lump in the relatively short drive to Allentown)

It may be old news to those of you who are more entrenched in the genre... but my most listened to "melodic punk" album of 2015 came out in 2014. The Raging Nathans - Losing It LP https://radgirlfriendrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-raging-nathans-losing-it

I listen to their live albums much more often than their studio albums because they play all the songs twice as fast!

The Ramones Millencolin I'm sure there's more, but those are the first two that come to mind.

First album I remember buying myself was Weird Al - The TV Album on cassette. Don't really remember past that. First vinyl record was the Mxpx / McRackins 7" in the late 90's.

Looks sick! I would have been stoked for this 15 years ago. Don't listen to them very often these days though.

Ordered! Best band!

Ordered the new EP! Already have 1st press copies of all their other records. (only ones I am missing are the Decibel flexis)

Good demo!

Damn... I was wondering where all the Black Friday online sales threads were hiding... I normally do not get involved in threads that start out with "RSD", so I didn't realize that all the normal distro sales where here.

Yeah, the number of current Star Wars books is business as usual with comics. And business as usual when it comes to Star Wars anything. Hell, there are 3 different versions of the Star Wars mac and cheese boxes!

That was actually meant to be a plus 1 but I fat fingered it on my phone. Lol. Lesson learned on not using the mobile site.

Just getting this thread started now... It's only a matter of time before it needs to be bumped.

The reissue you have all been waiting for!

It features the #1 single "A Taste Of Honey," which won three Grammy Awards and the title track, which became famous as the theme song for The Dating Game.

There have been a lot of $20-$30+ new vinyl releases this year that I passed on and instead opted for a $8-$12 cd version. In the early days of this board I wasn't even considering cds because the vinyl was reasonably priced.

One of my first trades on this board was with ronniethebear. I didn't get burned, but did wait several months for him to send my records.
