This blog is mostly dormant. I still review occasional cassettes and zines. Why The Tapes Play Records was a cottage industry indie music label releasing very limited run cassettes, & cds. The label is on hiatus as of 2020, as much of our lives has been on hold and focused on matters of heart, survival, and spiritual nurturance. Why The Tapes Play may return in the future.

Zine Review: Half Gifts 4
Lately I've been reading zines that really inspire me in some way - to take care of myself, to spend less time on the internet, to connect with art, or discover new music. Half Gifts is a rare gift indeed and a reminder why music zines are so important, even in the digital age. Jude is a young man who demonstrates zest & zeal for writing. His enthusiasm for music and musicians flows from every page. The music he reviews is mostly DIY & independently released - the good stuff. In addition to reviews, issue four includes interviews with Ratburn, Tripping the Light Fantastic, and PURE Prediction.
I appreciate that much of the content in the paper zine does not appear on Jude's blog
