This music blog is for people who like listening to and/or collecting cassette tapes – with the occasional post about physical media.
We are a different kind of nerd that likes to hold things in our hands and press a play button that clicks instead of smudges.
I have always wanted to be a music blogger, so I am doing it through my love of tapes.
“Why not records?” you might ask. Well, tapes are more convenient. They look cooler stacked (while taking up less space) and are portable. The sound can be pretty damn good – if you have a good tape player.
And tapes feel good in your hands. Records seem like more work too.
Tapes rule. Music blogs rule. Physical media rules. That is why I am here.

P.S.S. Some of my favorite affiliates of The Tape Player, that, if you enjoy writing or being creative, you might also like:

- Make.com – I am learning how to engineer some things to add to this blog and you can try it too.
- Amazon – To be real, it’s the only one of my affiliates that has made me useable money. Love Bezos or not, it’s just how it is.
