MY KICK ASS EBAY FIND!!!!!!

[Dumpster D]

N-N-N-Noice!!!



Not to be Anal about it, but It pains me somewhat to see vinyl get Lint all up on it.

Take good care of em sir, don't forget to tape all your 7''s so you don't wreck em!

not that I'm acusing you of record abuse, just be good to them for me!

Love-

Straight out of the Dumpster!

and the T-shirts too, Whah-Jah pay for em' anywho?

The Wizard of Oz was expensive and the Gluey Porch was cheap. The jury's out (I think) on how official the black Gluey is; certainly anaconda's of the opinion it's a boot, but it was interesting enough for me to risk it. I'm wearing it this week, maybe someone will comment on it in the street.

The Wizard of Oz came from a guy in Germany who said he's had it stored for over 20 years. It was yellowed and smelled like Gibby Haynes' left hand, but after I'd soaked it in non-bio for 24 hours it's come up lovely. Again, the jury may be out on this one, as there is another very similar with different lettering (see t-shirts in the merch section of themelvins.net home page).

I tape my singles, too. It's fun and it's what I was brought up on. It's difficult to find tapes these days though. Dont worry about the fluff (lint); I've got a dust bug and anyway, I bought it for the colour, not to play it.

What kind of tapes do you want?

I can get you going.

let me know what you need.

60's, 90's high bias (type II, Cr02, or "pos II")

Normal bias, or types IV (metal/ chrome Bias) 

sony, Fuji, Ampex, Scotch, Maxell, Memorex...uh...unless you need something a little more vintage?

The truth is hard to say, but It's near impossible to match your tapes with your vinyl...too many years of evolution change in desighn.

you could go as far as what style record lathe pressed your vinyl too...and what types of conditions were the albums recorded in, and on what type of equiptment...if you wanna get technical when it comes down to finding the right tape cassette...but I meant to use a Reel to reel tape recorder, I can probly even help you there too if the price is right.

what type of tape deck do you use?

anyway I can help.

Haha! Your kindness is matched only by your exuberance. Thanks a lot! I'm ok for tapes, simply because I don't buy many singles any more. They're not impossible to find, it's just a bit awkward. I usually go for TDK CrO2 but my ears are 49 years old next year so it's becoming less important. My tape deck is a Technics RS-B465. It doesn't get a lot of play any more. It's great to find tapes on holiday, though, they're usually pennies in tiny forgotten record shops in foreign countries, friend bought me a mountain of Ravi Shankar tapes from India, for instance, amazing. All gone now, of course. Birthday presents and surprise gifts etc.

There have been a lot of Melvins tapes on eBay lately. I might start a collection of them one day, after the t-shirt thing has calmed down a bit.

Not ebay, but I did get TORA TORA TORA for $30 off gemm the other day.  I really shouldn't be spending money, but that was too good to pass up.

i find tapes down car boot sales quite often.
i still have a casette player in my car, it has cd too but i prefer tape, its easier for me to make a comp from records onto tape as my deck is rigged up with my amp and tape deck, whereas my cd burner is in another room.
also i dont have any kind of ipod or mp3 player, but at work i listen to stuff on my sony walkman. that gets a few laughs seeing as most the people i work with have iphones and ipods, and macs and xbox 360's and all kinds of modern shit. i dont even have a camera phone either.
