GojohnnyGo, AKA "GJG - the label" has been releasing cassette tapes recently. He asked me and I said, "Why yes, I'd love to..."
The result is Home Taping Is Killing Music. A delightful collection os sounds from a 20Th Century that never existed.
73 + minutes of mixes and mayhem...
Stay tuned for information on the release party.
