It's all in the soul. Seek and ye shall find.

As for cassettes, as you all know I'm from that era, and even then I never bought any albums on cassette. No point. The only cassettes I ever used were blanks, and this was to record albums, or compilations, so that I could either listen to my music on the go, or sit back and listen to a collection of my favourite music without the need to put on all the albums.

These days this can be easily achieved via playlists and you can even shuffle them so well-known and played playlists don't get boring. It does take away the old pride I used to have in mixing or getting songs close enough that they would almost run seamlessly without gaps, but that was something I used to fill my time with and would almost certainly never do again. Even if it's something you want to do, there's software you can do that with now, so the feeling of achievement is not the same.

You guys should get together and start telling people what stratigically superior clothes they should buy instead of what they are buying now. I'm sure there is some quick drying ultra soft stain resistant pants that are the only logical pants to buy out there. F*ckin stick it to them GAP jeans wearing pansies.

When you see a nice ass in blue jeans, that's America's ass you're gawking at, baby.

I haven't worn jeans in well over a decade. I guess I'm doing something right!

but paying for a digital release is not something that makes sense to me unless you're running a charity
I buy the odd digital release on bandcamp. I do it for three reasons:

1-supporting the band
2-I can't find a physical copy anywhere. That seems to happen more and more with EPs. It sucks.
3-Reissues. For example, I saw that Hayden reissued his first album, but did it through bandcamp. I didn't need to buy the original album again, so I paid for the extras instead.

Why would a donkey need to wear jeans?

I was never hip.

What did the old guy say when the doctor gave him two hip replacements?

"Hip, hip! Hooray!"

That's a good dad joke. Something tells me I'll be telling that one soon.

And look like you're in an indie folk band. Don't forget that.
