BEEN THINKIN’…

I Was Gifted The Cassette Collection of My Dreams & Now I’m Sharing It With You

It’s by Piper!

“Cassettes are a tactile experience, more than any other delivery format outside of live shows—they’re grainy and popping and whizzing and full of fireworks, and you’re shoved in the barrel of the instruments, and you’re an inch from every voice, and when you hear that familiar click and go to flip the tape, you’re in the action. The lack of refinement puts you right in the room with the artist, capturing every breath, every hesitation.”

MY HUNT FOR THE DRUNKEST REPLACEMENTS CONCERT

by Shelby [Redacted]

“So there I was, pure of heart, clear of eye, and full of beer, ready to embark on a quest through the darkest recesses of the internet to find the one true drunkest Replacements concert. It’s for you, dear readers, that I have spent close to 40 hours listening to the screeching, wailing keenings of a young and wasted Paul Westerberg on a holy mission to find that one true drunkest video (yes, it was all for you and has nothing to do with whatever is wrong with me, you sick perverts, no matter what the critics or doctors may say) and I do believe I might have done it.”
