1:42:36 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I will be presenting the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.
I had completely forgotten about this tape! It’s the first tape I made with my new tape recorder, at the start of my first Internet radio project, Bluffcosm. It mostly consists of ambient audio of NYC – including walking through the original World Trade Center and playing video games at some now long-lost Times Square arcades!
