I'm working on a #mixtape with sort of a "driving with the top down through a warm spring breeze" vibe and I think this one is essential. An unconventional choice? Yes. The right choice? Also yes! It's the perfect interlude track.

Also, that bassline is as nasty and infectious as "Super Bon Bon" by Soul Coughing...

Hmm, maybe both!

@killyourfm what medium are you recording on? Real compact cassette?

@nowherefast Yep! But they’ll eventually find their way to my blog too.

Nowhere!Fast!

@killyourfm wow that’s retro! Not even minidiscs 😅. Got to take a look at your blog.

@nowherefast I’ve long thought about finally exploring minidiscs.

@trezzer inspired me after burning several of my mixtapes to MD!

@killyourfm @trezzer i just got my hands on a stationary MD player and some media. Wish it were a portable player though. Shame it never took off, since portable MD players were so much better then discmans.

@nowherefast @killyourfm MD not taking off is a regional view. They were absolutely everywhere in Japan. So much so that you can get them for next to nothing.

@trezzer @killyourfm you‘re right. I was describing from my EU perspective.

@trezzer @nowherefast heh. I wonder if it would be cheaper to source one from Japan somehow instead of doing the overpriced eBay route.

Also, I do get the impression— and it is strictly anecdotal — that MD performed much better in Europe than America

@killyourfm @nowherefast I certainly knew a few people with MD back then in Denmark, but they weren’t a common sight.
