The accumulation of real/analog stuff is being replaced by an accumulation of virtual stuff.

But there has been a resurgence of tape release.

I rate Steve Moore as one of the most talented new ambient/Berlin School artists, and some of his material is only being released on tape

I see that as a temporary aberration. Partly as a push back against piracy but also a bit of nostalgia. In the long view, the demand for economic growth means an expansion into the virtual.

edit: probably a bit ironic since they said that "Home Taping Is Killing Music"

Woah, that was it! I got it for Christmas, along with Queen's "Greatest Hits".

Used to have about 25 tapes recorded from radio... that was pretty much a good record of mid to late 80s chart hits. It was a real bitch to get "Purple Rain", because the station always faded out during the guitar solo. And I was dying to record Simple Minds' "Don't you", and when it finally came, the DJ sniffed (sniffed!!) during the outro - they forgot to kill his mic. It was like, "La, la la la la, la la la la, *sniff*, la la la..." I punched the wall when that happened, but ever since, that sniff is a part of the song for me, for better or worse.

Can't get those memories from digital downloads, that's for sure.

After 3 over-heating PS-1's I swore off Sony products for good. Except Acid Pro(it was Sound Forge when I brought it).

hahaha there were a couple of songs that had glitches on my collection from my recording and those glitches became part of those song to me too.. to the point, when I went out and heard the song on a jukebox (yes, remember those?) I was perplexed about the glitches not being there..

But I was too poor for an actual Sony Walkman.. I had the Koss version (with Bass Boost). Still have it and my MC Hammer tapes. woohoo. 2 legit 2 quit.

I still have my WM-1. Built like a tank, can go on forever with its 4 AA batteries. Reverse doesn't work anymore, I'm guessing some rubber belt broke inside. Two headphone outputs = fun listening with a buddy.

When I got mine I thought I'd be able to block out the outside world by turning it up to 10 and pressing play with no tape inside...apparently that's not how things work.

Yep, used regularly. Fearing the day it dies.

Everybody knows it needs to go to 11 to be able to do that.

I moved places too often, at some point my various walkmen and discmen just stopped moving with me.

Do you still own a Sony Walkman?
