I don’t right now :( I have a small mini system that has a tape player but I don’t trust it, I’ve been meaning to buy a proper nice cassette deck like a Nakamichi, Denon, Tascam or something like that, like the old component stereo ones with decent transport mechanisms and play heads, but I keep putting it off for other things I guess. I don’t really wanna risk mangling them as some of them have recordings of music I made ages ago lol.

That makes pretty good sense to me. I think that’s part of my attraction to 80s new wave and synth pop so much, it was a time of such androgyny and gender line blurring, not needed to be defined, maybe part of it was for band image but it was still there, and a lot of the songs had more hopeful messages as well. It’s so poppy and fun to dance and sing along to as well :) So I totally get where you’re coming from, music is so powerful in that way how it can really transport you, and even choosing which medium to listen to it on makes a big difference in the mood which is a cool effect

I’ve semi-recently re-discovered my love for singing so Madonna, Tina Turner, Donna Summer, Steve Nicks, Cyndi Lauper, Blondie, Pat Benatar/the GoGos, The Bangles, Tiffany, Bjork, Siouxsie, Eurythmics/Annie Lennox, Bananarama etc. are all some go-to’s, so many amazing, talented ladies.

Haha weeeell, I don’t listen to it so much anymore, it’s a tad noisy for me these days, but that’s rad that your Dad is a fan, any fan of EN seems like they must be a pretty interesting person, it’s so visceral and raw
