Tape, tape, tape, tape 
I think it’s inevitable that we will all eventually succumb to the tape. 
No. Its all mine.
Yes, like the proton decay and heat death of the universe, all that will be left is Abattoirists with tape decks discussing how to get tapes from ebay in a parallel dimension.
Shush, I want but don’t need…in the same way I want a Gyro to watch spinning it’s weights while I use digital.

Do you stick a youtube video of a spinning Gyro on your telly when listening to your digital set up ?

I can’t, it’s busy pretending to be an open fire.
Do you need me to bring a few tapes round?
Have you got an empty take-up reel?
Yes at some point when your about.
Have no empty reel

I’ve already blown a tenner on the machine
Maybe tomorrow evening. Will bring head/capstan cleaning faff.

Isopropyl on everything bar the pinch wheel. For that I use this stuff.
