Most of us magnetic maniacs all have our go-to music tapes, whether it be the ever-present MINOR THREAT LIVE tape from Dischord or the stack of MISFITS bootlegs hanging out next to your MORTIIS and GWAR video cassettes. Those classic slabs of audio visual analog awesomeness will always have their place on the shelf, but perhaps Tapeheads should clear off some room for the thrashing Texan Will Mecca’s newest analog effort PARANOID ANXIETIES. Will’s been busy capturing his local punk and hardcore community on Hi8 and VHS, dishing out an array of fast and loud shit-kickers shredding it up, laying...

Some of the more attentive and in tune Tapeheads out there might recall Severin’s recent incorporation of magnetic magic with their Blu-Ray / DVD release of HOUSE ON STRAW HILL, where they included a FREE video copy of the flick under the title EXPOSE’. Sounds pretty rad, right?

Armed with an acute nostalgia for the glory days of our favorite format and an adept imagination for rendering...

Over here in Lunchmeat Land, we’re always keen on any sort of affection for the almighty VHS tape. And just recently, indie writer and director, fellow Videovore and all-around radical dude turned me on to an analog-adoring acoustic jam crafted by singer / songrwriter Joe Dillon. In Joe’s unplugged ode to analog, he sings the praises of everyone’s favorite format with a sweetly simple, four-chord campfire jammer glued together with a catchy chorus and a light touch of folk finesse.

As an avid follower of the infamous Horror VHS Collectors Unite! Facebook group, I've come to realize that every once in a while there will be a new member that joins and has a surprisingly solid collection and a knowledge about the format that could school some of the people who have established themselves as the go-to-guys when questions about rare tapes arise. Enter Scott Bruce. A tough talking, no bullshit collector who's as proud of his hard as nails mug as he is his overwhelmingly on-point collection of Australian pre and post-cert tapes. Mr. Lunchmeat himself, as intrigued by...
