A friend of mine looked at my new Buck O Nine and Dag Nasty albums and scoffed at first sight.
“I hope you didn’t pay two ninety-nine on those tapes.”
Yeah I did, and what of it? I am getting sick of people turning their noses up at good music just because of the form that album may be found. I would rather have a cassette version on Falling Sickness, which I got at War On Music, than have never heard it before. Plus, the van I drive still has a cassette deck, so I should get a new stereo, but these tape finds have made it acceptable to rock out in a 97 Plymouth Voyager.
You wouldn’t believe the pick ups I have made in the last couple months, so here is a quick list so you know what can be found at War On Music.
GWAR - Hell-O, This Toilet Earth
THE CRAMPS - Look Mom No Head, Stay Sick
FALLING SICKNESS - Right On Time
SKANKIN PICKLE - Skankin Pickle Fever, Live
LESS THEN JAKE - Demo
MISFITS - All Hell Breaks Loose
DAG NASTY - Rock Out At Denkos
BUCK O NINE - Twenty Eight Teeth
MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES - Noise and other Disturbances
RUN DMC - Raising Hell
Now I admit that cassettes are not ideal in this at this juncture in time. I hate having to rewind, and the irritation of a finicky deck, or a tape that some how got wound to tight playing in slow mo. But these are not your regular cassettes. I don’t know where Charley is getting these from as more come in every week. They are all rare, and all in great shape, save for a few roughed up cases, but those are cheaper, so I always go for the damage case.
Last I got to let everyone know that the tapes are not the usual crap you find at other stores that have a weak collection of hundreds of allbums no one would want in any format. At any time there are about 50 cassettes at War On Music and they are all rare, quality albums that are mainly metal, punk and a litlle rap. It is worth a look. I have been shocked how excited I have been for tapes after passing up on them until the new location opened.
