I still do also. in the car, and was rocking a walkman for a while last year. Im 28 and I feel like an old fart being like...this spoiled little twat kid blah blah blah. the point of listening to one tape is to get to know it really well. not a gazillion songs that you dont care about. you really memorize albums and grow to love them with a walkman. thats awesome that a couple teenage kids here still listen to tapes.

How many of you would be so handy with an 8-track if it was the first time you had ever used one? Face it, there's a whole generation of young kids coming up right now to whom cassettes and VHS tapes are ancient, obsolete technologies. I'd like to see this kid with a rotary phone.

I'm lucky to actually have all the original Judas Priest albums on vinyl and shit, so it's cool.

I use an mp3 player myself mostly these days, but I have a lot of out of print demos,etc. on cassette that is impossible to get again in digital format. Vinyl as well . Still, not knowing there are two sides to a tape is pretty funny. I’m with ya man.

Also; I had dropped that thing a million times on the bus, and it never died. If you did that with an iPod it would shatter into bits. Judging by the photo, if you had disguised a cassette to look like a chocolate bar wrapper he would have eaten it. This article reminds me of arguing with my Dad about how shitty 8-tracks were.

I still use it a lot because I still love my tapes. I don't even own an MP3 player or iPOD. I just listen to tapes, CDs, and vinyl all the time. Tapes are my favorite because I grew up with them.
