Tapes n' Tapes

I mislead you! I'm not in fact writing about the (very good) band Tapes n' Tapes which i'm a big fan of, but about cassettes. This picture caught my eye on Neatorama the other day:



It was in a post about tapedeck.org, the website that showcases cassette tapes and the quirky variations in design, from the 60s right up to the present day. With a growing collection of 138 images, you can search by manufacturer, playing time and quality to find the ones you used to (and may still) use. It's perfect geeky nostalgia, and makes it seem like such a long time since they were commonplace. It used to be all i had, back when CDs were brand new and still had the old compact disc logo on the cases... i'm getting all misty-eyed!
