TAPE | Sunday, February 7, 2021
#TAPE: feeling more of a mug than usual - found my old tape deck (1994) at mum’s, so brought it back and plugged it in, chucked in a tape recorded off vinyl 24 years ago, and it sounded excellent. Did we get completely scammed by 320K streaming? I really should know better… Geez this pandemic has me looking back in the rear-view mirror a LOT. Stay tuned for next week’s episode: Minidisc! #cassette #technics #retro #tapehead

#THEBLUELOTUS: does anyone else occasionally search the internet for things they used to have in their youth and were stolen/lost/broken? I bought my original key ring from the Tintin Shop on Floral Street in Covent Garden in the late 1980s, pretty sure with English titles but I could be wrong, and kept it with me all the time until it was tiefed many years later. Naturally they were never made again but I came across a seller on eBay with a load of them, hoping they had my favourite and we could be reunited. Lockdown has had me looking back a LOT. Little things make us happy, because little things often upset us. #tintin #lelotusbleu #retro #keyring #lombard #casterman
