Sorry if the topic title was misleading...but I got to thinking about something this past weekend....
I own radiohead's kid a on tape. I bought it when I was driving a car that just had a tape deck. I used to enjoy listening to it on tape and still through it in the deck every now and again. So the question came to mind...Would any of you guys buy BoC tapes of they were available. Like Twoism, Geogaddi...etc etc.

I voted no... but that's because I already own them on CD. If it were back in the day before I had a CD player and I knew who they were? Hell yes.

MCs are pleasing little objects and have a certain quality to their sound, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy them.
By the way, cassette releases of BoC albums already exist; albeit in ultra limited quantities...

Despite their relative impracticality nowadays, you could argue that BOC
belong on tape! It goes so well with the aesthetic or stereotype, whichever way you wish to view it.

Good idea - stick 'em on C90's with hand-scrawled tracklistings

Indeed! For me, that would be the ultimate, or maybe on Super-8, err, with sound. It doesn't have sound does it? Was there a sound version of 8mm? 16mm then. Yeah, 16mm.

BOC's next album will be released on the usual media. Until then, expect the unexpected.

We should have a thread about expecting the unexpected.
Like, I expect their next album to be produced by Timbaland.
