SPB: Wet Cassettes released your latest so we think you may be biased. Anyway, rank your preference of music media formats for listening: cd, vinyl, cassette, digital, (other?)

Big Chungus: As a former subterranean creature, I, like so many of you human Americans, prefer things that taste good versus what's good for me. And yeah, I tend to like tapes because my dad (Nick)'s label put out my album, but I'm my own mutant damnit! SO, I would have to say this is my current ranking of medias:

1) Cassette: tastiest format by far. You can just pull the guts out and munch on it, if your tape player doesn't get to it first. Since there are different types (Chrome, Ferric, etc.) there are different flavors that make your regular-length pees smell funny. The last one I ate was a Rod Stewart tape from the thrift shop, gave me a little mellow spice that coated the palette. Glitter in the paint of the shell makes your poop shine, so I like that too.

2) Vinyl: like tapes, vinyls (come at me nerds) have different flavor profiles based upon what they made with. I'm not the biggest mutant around, though I'm growing, so I usually tend to snack on one of my dad's all black (tastes like licorice) Lumpy Records 7'' versus some 12'' by a bunch of guys crying about their real estate and sunny days and diaries or whatever.

3) Digital: we put my last album LOCKDOWN out digitally cuz sometimes humans don't appreciate tapes. Most my dad's clients don't even listen to or eat their cassettes! That's just wild to me. I guess if it's a lean week, and i'm bloated, or it's easier to get my songs out to more people and it costs less moneys- digital is good for your diet. I been told my Spotify royalties are paying the mortgage.

4) CDs: yeah, some noise labels (Troniks, Helicopter) are putting out sick CDs this quarantine, but they get stuck in your teeth! Digipaks make a nice sandwich bun. Overall- hardest to eat, bloody gums for weeks. Hardest to shit out. So they come last!

Wet Cassettes Records (2020)

You have to appreciate a concept that’s primarily focused on making you uncomfortable; where’s the fun without a healthy dose of shock and awe? Young Philadelphia-based label Wet Cassettes is built on those foundations, describing themselves as torchbearers of “weird dirty music for weird dirty people,” a concept that deserves to be saluted from where I’m sitting. Their latest project … Read more
