had a real crusher of a day over here. Can’t believe it’s taken me all these years to learn that Tesla covered Truckin’ on their acoustic album

really seems like February 6 is a great day for hot jams based on the evidence provided by plumbing the depths of the Jerryverse, Merle quadrant.

The ultimate expression of the western United States in 1970 found themselves exporting their particular strain of American excellence to the gateway to the west, St. Louis, on this day in tapes.

colossal day at Tapes HQ as the much anticipated Grayfolded cassette, socks and coffee from @imprec.bsky.social has arrived. Absolutely gorgeous presentation of the holy scroll on the j cards and I really really appreciate the titles in being in the waveforms. Just immaculate

as the sorting process continues I am finding myself drawn to the unknowns and on this day in tapes, the unknown is a wah wah and fuzz obsessed electric bluegrass adjacent band called Seatrain feat. the guy who made the music for KidPix playing bass on a pre Little Feat version of Willin’

For some reason it feels right for the Janis Joplin and Genesis sub collections to be about the same size

listen. If you want to spend more than 500 bucks on an L100 and more than 300 bucks on that Leslie, that’s your business. You can do that. Just know you’ll always be less of a man than me for both collecting such obscene wealth and then using it so poorly.

Todays adventure in mislabeled tapes brings us to the island of Hawaii. While labeled for today, it’s actually a June show. Either way it’s a delightfully dusty tape of the Dead in full garage rock mode, on this day in tapes

as luck would have it, the vast archive of recorded music in my possession does not just contain Grateful Dead music. Going outside but right up against the box with this Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen set from Cincinnati in 1970

Fascinating piece of radio history here-I think it’s just the very tail end of the Grateful Dead hour and then a psych focused show immediately after. Excellent selections and definitive evidence of non-GD-nerd use of studio Rosemary in a broadcast. Bravo, WZLX Boston 🫡

it’s Twofer Tuesday in the Tapes Terrarium, kicking things off with two Elton John albums best remembered for two songs each

It’s been a big day for albums with credits that make you go “huh, really?” at the Tapes HQ. I do believe by the end of my life I will be able to sort my record collection based on proximity to the soundtrack and cast of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band starring The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton

Billy Thorpe is truly forgotten today. At the superposition of yacht rock, proto hair metal, and the undercurrents that would produce Eric Johnson and Stevie Ray Vaughan, he boldly blazed an unneeded path upon the solid ground of Leland Sklar’s bass playing

now this, friends, this is actually the authentic vintage experience of trying to understand what the yirdbards were all about. Everything with this band and business was pure cynical cash grab bullshit. Look at the cheapnis on display here. Tape has an obnoxious physical inescapable click

I often eschew greatest hits compilations especially with bands like Blood Sweat and Tears where I’m pretty sure someday I’ll have extensive opinions on all their deep cuts. However, the oldies station in Peoria played And When I Die enough for it to become permanently lodged in my brain.

Now this, this is a different story. Tragic to not have the actual Hearts of Space comp as it seems like wall to wall bangers however a C90 simply labeled “Space Music” on both sides…that’s the real crunchy granola

background largely unrelated but today we are stepping back to 1979 for a second set on Lon Gisland from a case containing a ticket stub potentially from the show in question!
