My latest albums

Cats & Coffee Cups
Cats & Coffee Cups Bonus Songs and
Cats & Coffee Cups Expanded Edition

come on DIY cassette tapes. They’re available on Bandcamp.

These albums have always been an intimate project. It's the perfect albums to have on cassette—a warm, analog home for these acoustic comfort songs.

These cassettes are pieces of me—handcrafted from start to finish. I recorded, assembled, and packaged these tapes myself, making each one a little slice of my creative journey. Housed in a simple cardboard box, it’s as personal and down-to-earth as the music itself.

Found this beautiful Fisher CR-W9325 tape deck from the #90s today at a thrift store for 10 bucks!
I felt like I was robbing the dude!

Just hooked it up, and giving it a test run with a 1990 UK issue of Wire’s On Returning (1977-1979).

Time to bust out all my cassettes from the attic! I’ve got a bunch of random mix tapes and 4-track masters up there, too.
I haven’t listened to them in probably 30 years.

On a semi-related note and a question for the Fediverse: Where would I be able to find and purchase a tape player? (Reason being is pictured below.)

Doesn’t need to be cheap, but I’m want to find one that will ideally be sturdy. I also know of EBay, but any particular, trustworthy sellers you can point me to would also be appreciated!

CC: @MsMadLemon to thank you for the tape (and because I forgot to let you know that it made it to me safely)!
