Watch out for the coolest retro cassette containing the most fresh bands!
At the moment I'm working on a minor compilation. It'll be released on audio cassette in a very limited printing. Perhaps around 25 tapes. Each side will contain 5-6 tracks and right now I'm thinking about dedicating the A-side to new post-punk and new wave bands and the B-side to more experimental stuff like electropunk, noise rock and minimal. I would really love bands like Strip Mall Seizures, Crystal Castles, Architecture in Helsinki, Marfa & Ne-Af and Yip-Yip to appear on the B-side but really everything that's cool can get on it. I don't know about the A-side yet but I will try not picking the too obvious bands. If you are in a band or know someone who are then and you/they could be interested then let me know.
I hope to sell the tapes together with a small DIY magazine. The mag should be with interviews with and articles about the bands on the cassette. I hope to bring in some other interesting articles about DIY culture, older bands, cool music genres (I really feel about writing an article about early NDW bands) and art.
I will most likely buy the tapes from this side. Each tape will cost me around 10-15 Danish krones - 1,5-2 euro - and I can imagine selling them for around 15-20 danish krones. The magazine would most likely cost me around 5 danish krones, perhaps a bit more. The price for the magazine and tape will then be around 20-25 danish krones or 3-3,5 euro. That seems like a pretty good deal for everybody doesn't it?
Now for something way more entertaining! It's christmas soon and that means I have to make a wish list 'cause that's what christmas is about. Every year I put on records that I know I'll never get but this year it's gonna be different due to this links:
