CASSETTE TAPES

i am not going to write about each song here. this whole idea came about while getting paid to make 30 second songs. i was paid a hundred dollars a month (for a year) to come up with ten 30 second songs using a specific bank of samples made by this small company from nashville. it was super easy and actually fun. there were a few that i liked and thought of turning into full songs. in the end though, they kind had little lives of their own even though they clocked in at well under 45 seconds. i had the idea that it might be fun to get some people to remix them and give them a rule that it cannot be over one minute in length. so i asked them! pretty much everyone but daedelus and ninjasonik came thru (although ninjasonik more than made up for it by making a song for the galactique diamond dick album that i helped spearhead). anyway, this was the result. it is more of an experiment than an album really. to tell you the truth i am not really sure why i called it cassette tapes...






















cassette tapes was release via galactique recordings on september 15th 2008. it is probably somewhere on the galactique site but i prefer to keep this one quiet. i like it, but like i said, it is just a weird little experiment...
