cassettes are the bargain of the day with the standard used price around 50 cents to a dollar. lps used to be the deal but the recent vinyl revival has killed that. i picked up for 29cents each at thrift the other day: Helmet - Meantime, Sisters Of Mercy - Floodland, and Anthrax - Among The Living.
record store day had a few cassette releases this year including that Green Day one that i didn't buy.

old tape players become demagnetized and need their belts replaced. a finely tuned cassette deck and a non-stretched tape sound great in a decent set up. so play 'em if you get 'em i say! i have noticed that vintage Sony Walkmans are fetching a fair price on eBay so if i've been watching for those to flip but haven't found any yet....the shitty versions were the worst at stretching tapes though with the super fast forward/rewind and sudden jolt stops et cetrea.

Yeah, I've been playing around my region in bands and booking shows in town the last few years and a lot of touring bands have their music available on cassettes. A friend of mine runs a cassette label that I've put stuff out through on that format. Trippy.
