11:50 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic recording from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to release more of my archives.
Inspired by “The Audio Kitchen†(a show on WFMU), I spent a few years (around 2001) buying used answering machines with cassettes in them, at flea markets and thrift shops, hoping to find interesting audio for my Internet radio project, Bluffcosm.
This tape in unlabeled, but I probably got it around 2000-2001, and the recordings are most likely from sometime in the 1990s. I bleeped out phone numbers and last names.
