Beanie Tapes

*looks up* oh hi 2026 ✨

We contributed a Max Blansjaar track to this excellent special edition #cassetteweek tape. Save Ferric is an amazing name for a cassette fanzine. Props to @mflah.bsky.social for keeping the dream alive. ✨

I hope someday they make a biopic movie about a boomer musician. That would mean a lot to me. But deep down, I know this is just a crazy dream that could never be real.

Max sold a bunch of records and tapes on the @young-knives.bsky.social tour, but fear not! We still have some left. Add False Comforts to your #bandcampfriday wishlist… ✨ maxblansjaar.bandcamp.com/album/false-...

Free download codes for this sneaky Magana re-release we put out. Still listen to this album a *lot*. ✨

He's 21!

Was going to write an email or blog thing about 2024 and how the Max Blansjaar album got such a great reception and there are some great related albums to explore, but spent 3 hours moving all my websites to a new webhost instead. Vanquished by admin once again. ✨

Last #bandcampfriday of the year! This year we released Max Blansjaar’s début album, and everyone loved it. We have a handful of tapes left, and plenty of records. Great present for someone who likes “music”. ✨ maxblansjaar.bandcamp.com/album/false-...

The great cassette organisation project has begun - and was frankly a stupid idea.

Today I cannot see anything because the galactic collection of synths, drum machines and other beautiful instruments at @soundgas.bsky.social HQ is still seared into my eyeballs from yesterday. This is 0.00027% of it.

I finally figured out how artists can make money on Spotify…

@bandcamp.com is on bluesky let’s goooooo. ✨

shout out niche year end lists by people who burrow extremely deep into their beats, shout out boutique zines, shout out spending the last of the severance money you saved up to pay your friends for blurbs, shout out chasing a pipe dream that isn’t sustainable but is fun as fuck

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRUCE HORNSBY!!!!!!

Got a sneak peek of Truck Store’s albums of the year booklet/zine today* and Max’s album is in it. Better drop in a pallet or two of tapes and records for the Christmas rush! *ok it’s on their website lol

Doing an Oxford musicians/promoters/etc starter pack. If you’re in a band or promoting or sound or whatever jump on if you want in. I think I’ve caught all the MOP mutuals but at this point it’s exploding so not 100% sure. go.bsky.app/G62aNr1

Can’t believe it’s been six years since we put out BEANIE001 (“Plug The Leads In” by Premium Leisure). Seems like *checks watch* yeah ok we’re all a bit older now. ✨

Ok fine I made an account for @beanietapes.bsky.social. These tapes aren’t going to sell themselves lol.

*yawn* *stretch* huh? oh hi. ✨
