I love stuff like this, thanks for posting it. Coincidentally enough, I started a smiliar project of my own last month.

Wow, there's some surprisingly good stuff on those old tapes. (I'm surprised the Oxfam in Dalston, of all places, hasn't turned into one of those joyless Oxfam Music affairs, where everything half-decent is taken by staff before it hits the shelves, and prices match eBay...)

The Oxfam in Dalston has to be one of the most dispiriting places on Earth. I remember finding a box of disembodied dolls' heads for sale in there. Still, this chap seems to be enjoying what he finds there, so maybe it's perked up a bit recently.

Klang, I thank you both sarcastically and sincerely. (The former for time concerns, the latter for filling my ears with goodness.)

This site is horrible on the eyes, but pleasing to the ears! Up next: music that will blind you.

Once a week high quality digital recordings of cassette tapes purchased at the Dalston Oxfam Shop in East London. That sentence no verb?

That sentence no verb? "Purchased"? Hey, you didn't say which verb wasn't there. Wait, what?

The Oxfam in Dalston has to be one of the most dispiriting places on Earth. There are two: the normal one which is indeed slightly dispiritingly and the one just down the road that only sells music and books. That one is less dispiriting but it did smell of sewage last time I went in. And it was shut yesterday. It does have great stock though. My favourite NME tape. And my second favourite NME tape (admittedly more for the B side.)
