themean Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Think Dirk will use this money made on these to pay back the thousands and thousands of dollars that LMG owed people when it crashed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patron Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Think Dirk will use this money made on these to pay back the thousands and thousands of dollars that LMG owed people when it crashed? I laughed about the whole making money off cassettes thing, then I saw that they're charging $7 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'm still struggling to understand the resurgence in cassettes. Especially cassettes of records that people already own. I'm being serious, can someone explain the appeal? Is it just another item to collect from a band you like? No sarcasm intended, let me in on your thoughts.

No sarcasm intended, let me in on your thoughts. i just really like la dispute and thought it would be cool to have an extra piece of music by them. i think it's really all about the collecting thing. i only have a couple cassettes - just cheap ones i bought at shows. that's just me though. that, and my car only has a cassette player so i can use them when i drive.

jerseydave77 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It's funny. I was so stoked to start getting DL codes so I didn't have to buy both vinyl and a cd of my favorite releases. In a lot of ways if feels like Cassettes have taken over the place of CDs as that duplicate format but since they are limited they take on some value.

seafoamgreen Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think the most interesting part of this is that it only takes 3000 albums sold to get into the Billboard 150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cman102030 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Ordered Wildlife. I know I'd hate myself if I didn't get it. I mean...only 200, nah mean? 200! I'M SPECIAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derkwithano Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 there's not much money to be made off tapes, if you sell them for a reasonable price. I can't see selling a tape for more than fucking $5. Crazy! I honestly put them out/collect them because I think they are beautiful looking. Something about how concise the packaging is. They don't sound bad if you have a good tape deck I swear! *also, here's a couple of examples as to why tapes get bad rep. the Man Overboard Real Talk tape and the Tigers Jaw Spirit Desire tape were self dubbed, which while they are more "DIY" and very cool, the sound quality really drops off. I use chrome pro-tape in the cassettes I use and I honestly think they sound very strong/punchy. old tape deck + poorly dubbed tape = not enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themullet89 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I typically only get tapes of things that aren't available on vinyl, or at least weren't available when I bought them. i.e. Iron Chic demo, Spraynard demo, Detournement/New Dress split, Ramshackle Glory tape, Stressface demo, True North demo. I have been guilty though of buying a few tapes of things that I do also have on vinyl, for the purpose of collecting (HWM/Bouncing Souls being really the only example of that). I've also bought tapes because they were cheaper than the vinyl (Austin Lucas Common Cold cassette I bought for much less than I could find the vinyl). I enjoy tapes, especially compilations on tape - the Dead Broke Rekerds mix tapes are always solid, and Evil Weevil did a nice mixtape earlier this year too.
