A Cassette Revival? • Between Dirty Projectors' Bitte Orca and Deerhunter's new EP, it might be time to invest in a Case Logic. The Atlanta band's Platts Eyott Session cassette was available only at last year's Halloween gig, but the Rainwater Cassette Exchange tape will be available throughout their tour. You can make art out of it.

This is just stupid. At least with CD's, you have a portable medium that doesn't degrade with repeated plays. With vinyl, you have the (arguably) warmer, richer sound of analog.. There are no endearing qualities to cassettes. What's the fucking point of a revival?
