\"New<\/p>\n

I recently acquired the lil’ blue beauty you see pictured above as a direct result of totaling my old car on the way to Summer Camp a month ago.\u00c2\u00a0 The accident seems to be a mixed blessing.\u00c2\u00a0 One of\u00c2\u00a0the unexpected pros of the situation was learning to drive a stick.\u00c2\u00a0 A more pertinent “benefit” would be the truck’s\u00c2\u00a0stereo setup, or lack thereof.\u00c2\u00a0 Specifically, I am now cruising around with a Clarion cassette tape deck with no visible screen.\u00c2\u00a0 I may not be able to bump like I used to, but I am now faced with the forced opportunity to fall back in love with cassette tapes, whose usefulness to me was rather limited before the age of 10, when we got a CD player in our house.\u00c2\u00a0 But, a decade and a trip to the used record store later, I am the proud owner of three gently used classic cassettes:<\/p>\n

\"Allman<\/p>\n

That’s right.\u00c2\u00a0 The best of The Allman Brothers, Boston’s self-titled, and the Best of Grand Funk.\u00c2\u00a0 Classics, indeed.<\/p>\n

At this point, I would like to ask anyone reading this who has some jammin’ Phish or Dead tapes to share if they would be willing to send ’em over for some good ol’ fashioned blanks & postage.\u00c2\u00a0 Shoot me an email at kanejamison@burningoak.com<\/a>, I’d greatly appreciate it, since I have a few upcoming road trips and the local shop has zero Grateful Dead or Phish tapes for sale.<\/p>\n

Additionally, any classic albums I should be considering for road trips?\u00c2\u00a0 My next trip to the record shack will likely involve the purchase of some Little Feat, Rolling Stones, and taking a hint from a favorite character<\/a> of mine, some Creedence.\u00c2\u00a0 This may be the start of a new obsession…<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 It should also be noted that I will only be accepting cassette submissions from bands and promoters from this point forth.\u00c2\u00a0 CD’s will be passed among friends or delegated as coasters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
