Damn you just ignite a new obsession Would be delighted if you make another videos where you dive in some cassette tape shenanigans. Really cool.

The "cassette in sleeve" thing was pretty much reserved for cheap cassingles (cassette single) back in the day, and sometimes EPs came that way too. They're called an O case or an O-card. As someone who lived through vinyl - 8 Track - Cassette - CD / Minidisc - Digital I do have nostalgia for tapes, but I don't miss them in practicality. I collect vinyl but would love a minidisc revival! Lovely chill video! <3

Hi Marisa! I collect cassettes too, because it's the only media my 90s car will play and I don't want to buy an Aux adapter. I love skulking music stores and secondhand stores for cassettes- the best treasures are always a mixtape that someone else made. You never know why they made it, maybe it's for someone else, maybe it's for themselves, but it's nice to listen to them and think about the person that made it.

u cant call yourself the cool uncle until youve drunk polish vodka out of the muppet cup at the family reunion and crashed two 1988 chrysler lebarons i’ve unsubscribed and reported you to microsoft

I love physical media and i love cassette tapes, i just need to find more albums i love front to back and like listening to in order, skipping songs is such a risk with how fragile they are

I have recently sort of inherited my grandmas very old Sony HiFi Tower with both a really good record player and a double tape deck, and while both hers and my parents old tapes and records are not all to my taste, i do really enjoy that they kept them, and have started my own collections :) It's very rewarding to collect such tangible media :D

I love old things. Physical media. I use to own a Walkman when I was a kid, Sadly the cassettes always died after a few 100 listening. And quality wise they got worse after allot of playback. Same go's with VHS I loved the boxes. Sadly also died most of the time. After that I got a discman love that thing. Quality if the music was always amazing And cd's most of the time did survive for years! I still buy now and then a CD and rip them to a WAV format so it doesn't lose the quality And put them in my phone.. Gonna be honest records where always a waste to me. I did not like the quality they came out of them and I don't thinj they should make new ones.. The optimal bitrate is around 12 so yeah, no thank you. Thank you for your video I did enjoy watching the cassets and box arts!

ive always loved how smaller artists usually sell cassette tape versions of their LP/EPs on bandcamp. so dope!

I used to have a dual cassette player that had the recording on both sides. Best way to make your own mix tapes. I just found recently a few that my mother had kept. One was Pony by Ginuwine.

All I ever used casettes for were portable copies of records and CDs. TDK SA were my favorite blanks, but I had plenty of those Memorex ones because they were the cheapest decent ones. I have zero desire to go back to hissing tapes, but I do appreciate the unique designs of some you showed off.

I have to admit, even though I lived with them growing up, I have no desire to return to tapes. Cassettes, VHS, or whatever else. For music, I listen primarily on an old iPod Classic, so my go-tos are CDs for ripping or DRM-free digital downloads. I do have a small vinyl record collection but those are mostly random cheap older albums, albums that I already own and really like, or newer albums from bands I like that come with downloads. It seems like downloads are becoming uncommon on records the past few years though, and for the price that a lot of these are commanding, I find myself skipping on stuff that I may have been interested in otherwise.

Cassettes are so cool and cute, I don't think I could get into collecting them anytime soon, but I enjoy watching people talk about the music they own and like. Solid collection unc!

OLD MEDIA!!!!!!

CooluncleMarisa made me remember that indeed I have a few records but no ways of playing them. For all i know, my records are broken. Cheap turn table could damage the discs. Although buying a cheap records to test records for 2 min could be a good idea.

When I was a kid I thought the transparent plastic tapes were so futuristic looking, like they somehow made the music on the opaque tapes crustier and less legit. Also, a couple years ago I saw some tape caught in the bushes in a median, dancing in the wind. I realized I couldn't remember how long it had been since I'd seen that fixture of the urban landscape, and wondered if I'll ever see it again.

Got a little whiplash going from talking about Tracy Chapman's politics to Eric Clapton

I'm a big cassette tape guy and I almost screamed seeing this video pop up in the subscriptions. I mostly collect future funk tapes, which are sometimes homemade, but the future funk labels specialize in making high quality cassette tapes. They don't have fancy j-cards, but the cassettes themselves have a really high level of detail you don't really see anywhere else. If you want to check them out, I usually look at stuff from Neoncity records and Neo Motel. I'd love to see more cassette content in the future!!!

Gah, another one of those moments when you lose your big stupid comment and I hate it. Anyhow, since you love guitar and lyrics, might I recommend Springsteen's Nebraska if you've never heard it. I'll also add basically anything Melissa Etheridge ever made. I'm one of those oddball elder Millennials who basically came into music with the CD, but because of my Dad in particular, I got heavily exposed to tape and vinyl, and he always had a fantastic stereo setup. I still prefer CD (unless I can get master grade lossless), but there's something of a ritual that comes with the physical media, especially vinyl.

I started collecting vinyl just for the ownership and I love the format and play everything I buy

The problem here is I want all my favorites on all the platforms. Haha

i like digging around for PS2 games, there are so many gems on that console that it's hard to go wrong

With tech getting better and cleaner, I do find that I really fall in love more and more with outdated media for their imperfections. Like, I still love modern tech and will use my phone if I want to get a good photo on the go. But I also love taking horrible quality photos on a Sony Mavica saving to a floppy disk! The feeling is different and hard to replicate

Vinyl, CD, and cassettes... we have them all in our home for the very reasons you've mentioned, Uncle. Cassettes are one of those things I'm iffy on collecting now because I have had a couple get eaten up 😭 I think I'll cap out at 50ish tapes!

See inlay for details. I'm going to show my age with this comment... Cassettes were a huge part of my musical upbringing, so much so that I associate the smell of IPA with cleaning tape heads rather than PCBs. I was part of the hardcore punk/grindcore/death metal tape trading scene in the late 80s/early 90s. They were umpteenth generation copies of copies of copies that sounded terrible, but it introduced me to A LOT of music that I wouldn't've heard otherwise. I still listen to it to this day, mostly on vinyl/CD reissues. Do you keep a Bic biro next to your cassette deck for emergency detangling?

I am surprised of how many artists you show cased that i don't know, and for that reason, even more sirprised i know a few. I discovered Alt-j a few years a gro trough an anime OS XD

Alt-J's been really quiet since this dropped

Tapes rule. Too bad cassette decks are fairly complicated and hard to maintain compared to turntables!

OK, I'm not even halfway thru the video but I already want more videos of you showing your collection/s a la Scott's Stash style (Woz's other channel idk you prolly know about it). Anyhow, yeah, it's really a good content type I enjoy, you get to experience some items you don't own to their fullest, their ephemeral physical existence, the "you had to be there" but it's in your hands. It's cool.

Being a kid that grew up in the 70's & 80's, I still have my cassette tape collection, as well as a handful of VCR tapes, I gave away most of my record albums to friends. I haven't had a VCR in decades at this point, so I can't watch those, but I still have my Sony Walkman for playing my tapes. It was one of the later models built that actually has a seek and find feature(early 90's), where it will search for the gaps in songs and then begin to play. So not as fast as a CD player search feature, but nice to have for a cassette player, sadly it runs on 1 AA I believe, and that feature kills the battery, but what can you do? LOL

Yessss, cassettes. I did not know Cool Uncle collected these. I still want an aiwa or sony walkman one day.

I love my cool uncle

I wish I was cool like you

I started collecting cassette tapes during the pandemic. Its a fun medium. Without being able to skip songs easily I've found that I listen to and like songs I probably would have passed on initially. Ive only had one tape get ruined so far haha.

Wishlisted and hyping it to others. This sates two different interests of mine!

this is lovely so far, playing it to chill down before sleep

I'm a huge fan of Bandcamp for this reason - You get the best of both worlds, a streaming app that you can use, and downloadable mp3's. And they have (or at least had) the lowest profit share with artists of any online distributor.

wake up babe, that silly internet uncle is at it again

If I worked this hard on something like this I would literally pull it out and show any person who got near me. "hey I know your grandma just died but let me tell you about this little beauty"

Led size?

I feel like you and Natalie the nerd on twitter are besties

Im primary microcephaly (very small head ) i dont think headsets r an option for me , ill stick to earphones 😢

I recently discovered there's a "House of the Dead" typing game called ... "Typing of the Dead". You type the words or the zombies eat your brains. That and an 18 wheeler game where you can be a woman who drives a pink truck, were among the gems on Sega Naomi. Emulation is never a waste of time.

It was interesting to hear your different viewpoints on several topics with respect to this device. As a business man traveling often, this display option is very liberating, especially not having to look down at the monitor all the time.

I see my uncle Marissa, I tap like 👍

It sucks that this retro/modding community is so chock-full of f***ing bigots. Now we know they're there when we watch other channels, we just didn't know about it. Thanks for making this channel, and keep getting us awesome content!!

I wish we could buy those bmo heart power regulators. Is there any way you could convince him to make more??

What!? Mavis Beacon isn't real? I used a lie as one of my tools on the path to typing proficiency? Next thing you're going to tell me is that Mario Teaches Typing didn't give me hard core gamer cred, aren't you?
