Upon arriving back home from my trip home, I carefully unpacked all of the jewels and dropped them strategically in the open slots of one of the myriad wall-mounted Napa Valley Box Co.

Hence, I was going to have to endure the tedious yet familiar two hour and two minute return flight from ATL > MSP before I could hear the majestic notes of someone else’s teenage dreams. Needless to say, the Pioneer mothership soundwall is located in a basement rumpus room in MSP, not in the unfinished basement storage zone in ATL.Īnd my big bad TOTL Pioneer CT-F1250 was exactly 1,117 miles away from the two boxes of tapes and one Case Logic caddy that I was cradling in my arms. On a sunny March afternoon in ATL-sun in MSP in March is as rare as an OG cassette copy of Sublime’s Jah Won’t Pay the Bills on Skunk Records-my wifey and I swung by and picked up the magnetically coated polyester-type plastic film booty. My total dude southern neighbor assured me that “getting back into cassettes” was not on his radar, or his kids’ radars, or the radars of anyone with whom he was aware, related to, or casually associated…except me! On one hand, I obviously want a well-curated compact cassette collection from the late ’80s-duh! On the other hand, I know what it would mean to me if I still had my own collection rather than hawking it at Down in the Valley in the early ’90s, only to turn around, literally, and buy copious amounts of used Eagles, Bob Seger, and (The) Who CDs with the proceeds. But to be offered this volume and caliber of recorded music on compact cassette tapes, which incidentally are “ Better Than You Don’t Remember“, was a straight thrill-I ain’t gonna lie!įull disclosure: when I get an offer like this, I’m torn. But for now, just go with it as a “different” normal.Īnyway, being offered a two Nike shoe boxes and a Case Logic 15-cassette caddy overflowing with cassettes is not an unheard of experience for someone like me: an “ audiophile” who covets all recorded music mediums (save 78s and Edison Phonograph Cylinders-gotta draw the line somewhere). Trust me, you’ll understand it after I write my magnum opus and accept my academy award for “Best Adapted Screenplay”. You see, I split my time betwen Minneapolis (where my kids live) and Atlanta (where my wife lives). The stellar human, total dude, and polymathic stud-he’s possessed of mad wood working skillz, he’s woke on podcasts, he has total nostalgia recall capabilities, and he’s hella gracious-who made the offer, just happens to live in the other neighborhood I periodically inhabit. Therefore, an offer like this indeed registered on my personal Richter Scale. However, if you are one of the one who does, you know how vital cassettes were to my survival in this particular lifetime, especially during my middle school/high school epoch. I mean, I have access to the stats, so I know that NO ONE reads this blog.
