The Lost Cassette Tape

Published August 23, 2012 '80s Music , Records (LPs) and Cassettes 4 Comments

I have this recurring dream that I’ve lost a blank cassette tape featuring a recording of the best album in the world. I can remember the music, a collection of transcendent post-punk masterpieces, but I can’t remember the name of the band or the names of any of the songs or any of the lyrics. Sometimes I’m rifling through the records in my high school collection, desperate to find the original album. Sometimes I’m rifling through the import section of Tower Records. I don’t even know what the album looks like, because I’ve only ever had the tape, and only listened to it once or twice before losing it, but I have the feeling that I’ll know it when I see it. And I really want to hear it again. So I keep looking.

The Amazing Spider-Man Rockomic (Rock Comic): From Beyond the Grave (1972)

Published January 11, 2012 Comic Books , Records (LPs) and Cassettes 9 Comments

Absolutely killer, and maybe the weirdest, scariest shit that’s ever been marketed to kids. Just listen to the first 2 or 3 minutes. This would never fly today. Some limp, quivering runt would start to cry and his manic, helicopter parents would sue everyone involved with the enterprise. End of fun for the rest of us.

I thought Peter’s voice sounded familiar. That’s Rene Auberjonois, a great character actor best known to geeks as Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
