I grew up with tapes and have reconnected with them in recent years. I have plenty of vinyl as well, but tapes have a nicer nostalgic feel for me (and don’t require as much careful handling). I particularly like shopping for tapes. In most shops used vinyl is many times picked over and overwhelming. But tape sections are smaller and more efficient to browse. For me, there is a certain feel to the old tapes I want (and certain labels, particularly Moon Glyph, for the new stuff) and finding a fit has a very specific thrill I don’t get elsewhere.
