If\u00a0you want a retro way to play your music, but you don’t have the space for a vinyl collection, Cassette Store Day just might be the holiday\u00a0for you. Inspired by Record Store Day, Jen Long and Steven Rose created the event to “[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][celebrate] the glory of tape.” This is the event’s third year, and on October 17th, a select number of record stores\u00a0will be participating<\/a>. Here are just a few\u00a0of the best releases that will be out on tape.<\/p>\n

Alex G –\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Beach Music<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Alex Giannascoli is a lo-fi, laid-back songwriter from Philly. The next release in his body of self-recorded work is Beach Music<\/i>, which will be out on 10\/9. He was on tour while making most of\u00a0this\u00a0seventh record, forcing him to change up his songwriting process.\u00a0<\/span>The two tracks available now from Beach Music<\/a> <\/i>show his music is taking a more mature, complex direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Baby<\/strong> –\u00a0Comes Alive<\/em><\/p>\n

Comes Alive<\/em> by Baby is just as impressive for its content as the fact that it was “originally recorded, mixed, and released within about an hour; including a photoshoot and album cover.”\u00a0Though all this happened quite awhile ago, it hasn’t been available for purchase until now. The band features\u00a0Pat Goddard, Dennis Galway, and the deceased Tim Alexander- check out their track “Baby,”\u00a0some seriously heavy\u00a0blues music.<\/p>\n

Beach Slang<\/strong> –\u00a0<\/span>Here, I Made This For You<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The pysch-punk rockers Beach Slang have made a mixtape for Cassette Store Day, and while\u00a0there\u2019s no preview for it, if you like loud, shimmery rock with a hard edge\u00a0you’ll probably be into it. Not so sure? Check out \u201cBad Art & Weirdo Ideas\u201d from their upcoming album The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us<\/a>.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
