19:27 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

It was a tape by The Clash – “Cut The Crap” – which I taped over part of to record my dreams, and also talk about my life in general, on 11/17/93, 11/29/93, and 1/20/94. A very cool discovery – I don’t think I had ever listened to it since I recorded it way back then.

Notes: Describing my dreams, at 8:30 AM, on Wednesday, November 17, 1993: down by the reservoir, looking for myself, David Dinkins, train tunnels, cliffs, waterfalls, aquarium, coelacanths, electronic music tape, playing a record, she regained her youth, religious food store, Salt Lake City, green oil, medical stick, insurance card, Bryan, Los Angeles at night. Also: old tapes, pennies, Fovy. 11/29/93: my answering machine greetings, Obliviana, Utah. Dreams from Thursday, January 20, 1994: classroom in Canada (cut off).

1:10:44 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

I have no idea how this tape came to be part of my collection – maybe I bought it at a flea market or garage sale. It’s unlabeled, and I don’t think I ever listened to it before. It’s a recording of a psychic reading for someone named Lisa. Information on the tape dates it to August 1992. The content of the reading is very generic, mostly about typical new age stuff and relationships. One interesting vision is that Lisa is associated with “seven universes”.

12:50 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

I have no idea how this tape came into my possession. It’s unlabeled, and seems to be a practice tape, with someone singing “Lullaby of Birdland”, “Mood Indigo”, “Bill Bailey”, “Basin Street Blues”, and “Autumn Leaves”.
