Free Weed's twelve tune tape on Lillerne Tapes is about making some throw down fun guitar rock/pop in the company of (maybe) a couple friends, or (maybe) just one's self singing and playing stoned songs of boredom & joy. This is a simple pleasure cruise of a listen, nothing spectacular, but nothing terrible either. All the happiness of a distorted guitar, some looped beats, and melodies coming out of one soul, true lo-fi bedroom noise/pop...all the connotations of ALL those words are exactly defined by the music on this album. "Pimp Reaper" is one of my favorite songs this week. Even if I never listen to this tape again, I'll carry, in my brain, the title "Pimp Reaper." So, THANKS for that!

It should be obvious, this is a webzine we created to put cassette releases and the format of cassette itself on a pedestal. We are not doing this to be some sort of cassette snob, more-DIY-than-thou elitists or anything. We are doing it because all the formats that sound can be presented on are exciting and provide unique ways of shaping the listeners experience... so it is a shame that any one of these formats would fall by the wayside. Cassettes provide a listening experience that is similar to vinyl because of the intermission/moment of pause created by changing sides of the tape, but can be of almost any length between 30 seconds a side to an hour. Tapes can also be listened to in a car or while jogging.
While today this format helps keep the home label alive, its almost a dream to remember that once every musician from Michael Jackson to REM had their releases on cassette. Cassettes were a legitimate format, not just for the DIY underground. Maybe we (thats you too) are the last guardians of this format. Maybe someone, someday will popularize cassettes again. In the meantime we keep the reels turning. A little offering because at least there are a few of you that know there is more than one god of this land.
