that’s cool. there’s like 18 ba-gillion million cassettes on that site. Imagine being a businessperson and starting a business that manufacturers cassettes right when CDs came out. D’oh!
This just makes me think of the mixtapes I’ve been receiving lately
blah!! how come i can’t post images with my comments on your site? i wanted to show you the grooviest memorex tape. one that i used back in the day. hot pink, blue, and yellow. can’t be beat.
