I bet cassettes start making a comeback (retro, ya know dude? Oh you MUST hear one!) and then accordingly the price of crappy tape decks will skyrocket. Luckily I still have mine...

and my Walkman

Cassettes already have made a comeback. At least with punk/underground rock. I'm honestly not a fan and never have been- too fragile.

ugh, same.

I've fucked up more cassettes than anything, I swear.

Left a ton of them in the car one time in the summer and they all went to hell.

Surprisingly I've never scuffed a record.

I really need to figure out a different setup for my record player. The cat likes to get into everything, and I don't want my collection to be one of them.

i know people say they have vinyl for sound differences or whatever but i honestly probably couldn't tell the difference. i know its sort of a hipster thing too but that sort of thing doesn't really interest me much, plus i'm cheap as hell so i pirate basically all the content i can online and don't pay for ****.

Spotify > piracy.

the difference is noticeable but I play my records because they're comforting.

There's actually a pretty significant difference in quality. From my experience, a vinyl copy of my favorite album sounds so much more crisp and full as opposed to listening to a CD version / mp3. You hear a lot more through vinyl than you would otherwise, at least from my experience.

I think I am the last man on Earth to pay for stuff.

you could be right cause i haven't really listened to vinyl like that but at the end of the day the **** i listen to sounds perfectly clear to me and its portable and free so i'm really not trying to fix what's not even broken.

one of them, i'm sure.

the truth about vinyl is that a lot more sound exists in the grooves of a record than any other format.

so you get the warm, full-bodied musical experience.

you just have to keep your records clean, don't get your fingerprints all over them, and be respectful with storing them.
