Editor’s Note: Last night, the Minnesota Twins were eliminated from the Postseason in heartbreaking fashion. We know the guys from Tapes ‘N Tapes are big fans and so we offer our heartfelt condolences. Hopefully this interview serves as some small consolation.
Yeah, it’s been awhile since the Bumbershoot Music Festival, but we didn’t want you to miss out on this exclusive interview with Tapes ‘N Tapes. Watch and learn why they don’t like appearing in music videos, how Erik became a “mind reader,” and why they still distribute albums on vinyl.
Many fun quotes were left on the cutting room floor including Josh’s boast that you couldn’t call Oregon vs. Washington football “much of a rivalry anymore” after the Ducks crushed the Huskies on opening weekend (Josh is a former resident of Eugene). Erik and I lamented the same fate befalling the Michigan vs. Ohio State rivalry (we’re both fans of the Wolverines). They also had very nice things to say about Austin band White Denim, with whom they toured extensively this past year.
If you haven’t seen the Human Giant skit featuring Tapes ‘N Tapes, watch it now. Download “Hang Them All” for free at ZME and, for godsakes, buy their album on vinyl. It sounds great.
