August 30, 2023: 60 Years of the Cassette
Developed in 1962 by the Philips Company, the first cassette tapes were released on August 30, 1963, at the Berlin Radio Show. This episode of Bodega Pop presents a three-hour celebration of the format focused on international cassette-only releases sourced from compilations, music blogs, friends, and Gary’s personal collection. HT to Andrew Simon for alerting us to this anniversary.

After the Second World War, the magnetic tape recording technology proliferated across the world. In the US, Ampex, using equipment obtained in Germany as a starting point, began commercial production of tape recorders

greetings, Gary! Bodega patrons!
i am not sure if they are still around, but there is this amazing Dabke troupe based in Paterson, NJ -- they would perform every year at the NAAP-NY ("Network of Arab American Professionals") street fairs in Manhattan -- ALWAYS brought the house down -- so now i gotta research to see if they are still active, but cannot recall their name 🤯🤯

There's an episode about the German R to R machines being brought to US, reverse engineered for start of the American industry, with Bing Crosby laying some of that foundation.
'S all on the Youtubes and in Radiolab's podcasts.

i also recorded the opening themes to the munsters and hogan's heroes. at some point i decided to play those really loud in the echoing hallways during class time.
i miraculously didn't get busted, but that was the last time i brought it to school.

It must have been on a cassette when I played Discreet Music in a college painting class, and a much older non-traditional student said, "Do you think anyone is enjoying that? It sounds like a funeral dirge." I'm guessing it was side 2, the Pachelbel manipulations.
Another cassettes on the road recollection: Viva Roxy Music, listened to repeatedly on portable unit while on a Cape Cod and Nantucket jaunt-week in my friend's Saab, summer 1976.

so now i had a tape recorder, and i've already filled up the 3 lafayette c-60s i got with it (probably, like chresti, with songs off the radio); so i used the c-10 (it was probably a c-10)
but it never completely erased anything. first i clandestinely recorded my brother playing the mothers' absolutely free album; then "let it bleed"...but the whole while with talking and house sounds - which became a mush which i found very interesting.
then came revolution 9 and i was validated!

we were dragging chains across the concrete floor, using plungers (pretty cool/odd sounds when used on concrete), doing "vocalizations" (no words, just sounds), and generally making a racket, and recording it all
(pre-industrial industrial? sound/noise art? 1970/71 -- we were ahead of our time 😹😹)

That being said, I did buy the cassingle (cassette single) of The Divynyls' "I Touch Myself". Cos they stopped selling vinyl 7" records at Tower.

here i am innocently trying to steal music and they ruin it! i tried to start the record after the chatter (and before it at the end) but the tapes were very sloppy sounding and i just gave up.
now i wish i'd just taped them through -with all that annoying crap that would quite entertain me today!

then when records became unavailable i refused to buy cds 'till around 1998 so i bought the cursed factory cassettes, sure enough most of which sound crappy now -if they play at all.
...but i did the same thing with them: i made a copy onto a tdk (the only brand i'd buy by the 90s), which are in fine shape today.
