Anthro Rex used to be the solo noise kind of sort of definitely weird project of one Daniel James Cashman, but now with his Dozen in the fold (the band is actually a four piece), old Danny boy is creating some of the most coherent music of his "career." If you've heard the cave man rumblings of Cashman's other band Grey Skull, imagine this band as a little more reigned in with Misfits and psych rock guitar noise jamming blended thoroughly in equal measure. Wait...you don't have to imagine, go ahead and stream right here. I saw these folks play a few months ago right after seeing 4 Phish shows at Madison Square Garden and I would say both experiences were equally psychedelic.

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.
