C90

Magnapop - Favorite Writer

I had REM, also from Athens Georgia, on the other side of this cassette, and I always wanted to fast forward through it so I could play
Magnapop again. This track is from their first record that is a collection of demos and singles produced by Bob Mould and Michael Stipe.
I never heard any other albums by Magnapop, but I used to love this and especially remember listening to this in the car driving down to London years ago, along with Underworld tapes.

Box Full of Cassettes

When I was younger, probably like a lot of people, my friends and I used to lend and borrow our LP records and tape them. In this way, we'd greatly extend our music collections beyond what our meagre cashflow could afford.

Now I'm surrounded by cds and mp3s I rarely listen to these old cassettes. With print-through and general deterioration, I've got a box full of defunct cassettes and a recent move of house saw me resolve to get rid of them. I never play these cassettes anymore, they're taking up space, gathering dust.

But there is a lot of good stuff on these tapes, so I've decided to go through all three boxes to figure out which albums I want to buy on cd. As I'm doing this, I thought I'd post up some mp3s of the more interesting artists I find.
Hence 'C90' - a trawl through 3 boxes of old music cassettes on their way to the dump.
