kassette klub thoughts and feelings:
First off a huge sorry for the delay on the philip seymour hoffman + mutual benefit tapes getting shipped. The duplication plant accidentally sent them to the wrong address and I wasn’t able to get UPS to turn it around in time so it will probably be another week until I can get them out in the midst of holiday craziness. I’m so, so sorry if that messes up any gift-giving plans you have. If you need to get a hold of us for some reason or another we’re at kassetteklub@gmail.com.
On a more pleasant note the resident k/k visual artist and gchat allstar, Nathaniel Whitcomb got interviewed over LDWT and there’s some great insights into his creative process.
I haven’t been surfing the net too much lately but it seems like people are listing their favorite albums in list fashion a lot. I have a hard time quantifying music like that but here are some things I have loved this year (that we didn’t make):

#OhioPride - Monster Rally + RumTum collab and/or Psychedelic Horseshit
Maybe the most important experimental art archive of 2011 - ubuWEB
Favorite fake tv channel - Network Awesome

Favorite #occupier/music writer combo - @LizPelly
