this episode is no longer available

On episode number thirty of A Box of Toys, hosts present an eerie and haunting soundscape that makes up The Humble Cassette. Hosts ask: causes a band to release a cassette? Why do people make mix-tapes? They’re cheap, easy for bands to make, they’re rare, and also help promote tours
and bands. The tradition of the mix-tape continues to this day. In this collection, we present dark and brooding tracks of various lo-fi recordings. The mix-tape. Opens with a track from Grandma, entitled “Lo-Fi.”
