Dark Matter - Needed: Cassette!

Hi, team!

I have an old pick-up truck that only has a cassette player.  Does anyone know where I can buy (or have someone make) a cassette tape of Dark Matter?  I’d love to play it in my car instead of over my phone.

I used to make PJ mixes as a kid but all that old equipment is long gone!

Thank you!!

    That'd be pretty cool. I'd definitely go for this as well for my '93 ranger!  ;)

    While we're at it, can I get an 8-track?

    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    Apparently there will be a release of cassette - you just need to watch out for the smoke signal announcement

    You need a stereo receiver, a record player, and a cassette player, and some of those red & white wires. You play the album on the record player and record on the cassette player. People used to do it all the time.

    You can also play the CD from your discman and plug it into your car using this handy cassette adapter. Only $7 at Target! Discmen can also be found at the Smithsonian.

    I have a Sony boombox that I bought at Best Buy for relatively cheap that has a CD player and a tape deck. It comes in handy for outdoor use, too.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Great to know.  I had considered buying a cassette playing + recording device and just doing it myself, but maybe I will wait.

    They do make cassette bluetooth adapters.

    If you can find a blank tape, maybe amazon? I should be able to help you out.  PM me.

    Wow, this discussion is a bit surreal.  Something that used to be so common is now difficult to accomplish. Someone must have a working boombox somewhere, or a stereo system with a working tape deck and cd player?

    We've come a long way from when I had to listen to the radio all day waiting for a song and then hold my portable cassette player up to the speaker and hit record.

    I haven't taped anything off the radio in about 24 years, but that doesn't mean I threw away my tape player. I still have tapes of all kinds of stuff that cannot be found anywhere else, and I've got to have a means of listening to them.

    I totally would have bought a cassette copy of this album.  While vinyl is my preferred format, I have fond memories of listening to PJ on tape too.
