TAPE HOUSE UPDATE 📼

Searching for a New Place to Broadcast the Chaos

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the future of Tape House Radio and where these shows should actually live.

Some apps feel too corporate.
Some feel too limited.
Some make me feel like I accidentally walked into a business meeting instead of a DIY music community.

So right now I’m experimenting.

Podbean.
Mixlr.
Stationhead.
Maybe something completely different.

The goal has never been perfection anyway.

I want Tape House shows to feel like:

• late night college radio
• finding a weird cassette at a thrift store
• somebody handing you a burned CD after a local show
• underground bands finally getting heard

No fake radio voice.
No algorithm sludge.
Just real music and real people.

I’ve also been realizing I want one main “home base” for everything:

• the live shows
• the blog
• playlists
• featured bands
• Bandcamp releases
• sampler tapes
• chaos
• emotional damage

Speaking of Bandcamp…

THIS WEEKEND = BANDCAMP WEEKEND.

The plan:

• work on the Tape House Bandcamp page
• organize releases better
• start figuring out the sampler
• maybe finally lock in the first cassette run
• connect more bands to the label
• make everything feel more like an actual DIY community

Tiny steps still count.

Tape House is still growing one weird little piece at a time and honestly… that’s probably the best part.

Thanks to everybody supporting the blog, sending bands, listening to the shows, or just hanging around while I figure this thing out.

More updates soon.
