Just ran the numbers and it turns out that if you were to try to listen to 200 tapes end to end with no breaks, it would take you about 4 years. So we don’t know how @tabsout.bsky.social managed it, but somehow they did, and we are very excited to have STR tapes included among those.
EPISODE 213 / TOP 200 TAPES OF 2025
we made a list of the year's best tapes with the help from @strategictaper.bsky.social, Drongo Tapes, Ephem Aural, @mrshafshr.bsky.social, @TabsOutArchive, Orb Tapes, and @larrywish.bandcamp.com
Check it out tabsout.com?p=30218

The US should pass extremely strict zoning laws aimed to eliminate sprawl and increase population density- no houses, only apartments. This enables public transportation, drives down housing costs, reduces CO2. Re-wild the suburbs, increase biodiversity.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
