GRAB A STACK OF ROCK With Mike and Jex

Episode 26: Lost Cassettes Unboxed!

SURPRISE! The first two-show weekend since 2021! Thank Jex!

I thought I lost all my cassettes from my youth: I assumed they were all thrown into a dumpster here in town, or up north in Thunder Bay. There was one box (Journey – Niacin alphabetically) that I discovered in my parents’ basement. Let’s have a look inside with co-host Jex Russell on a surprise Saturday morning show!

What we found inside was a variety of home made and store bought cassettes. The astounding thing is just how much effort I went to on some of the artwork! You will have to see for yourself, but a sampling of some cassette spines can be seen in the gallery below.

I used coloured paper, computer software, fine marker pens, coloured pencils, scissors, paste and photocopiers to create all the cassette art you see here. I’m pretty proud of all this.

What’s most remarkable is that I still had most of my original Kiss and Judas Priest cassettes! In some cases, I played these tapes at the cottage for the first time back then, and today unboxed them in the same location!

SHOW NOTES:

Regarding the opening "topless sketch", all is meant in jest and not to be taken as anything else. We wish everyone who has ever been on the show well. If you don’t want to see us topless, you can buy a shirt at teepublic.com!
