MEMORY CASSETTE - Surfin/Body in the Water

This new Memory Cassette video, directed by Pat Vamos, features retro clips from mid-80's Tawny Kitaen films, er, um, movies. Get this and more Memory Cassette and Weird Tapes tracks at the We're Tapes blog.

WEIRD TAPES

Weird Tapes have been getting a lot of blog love lately, and deservedly so. With a seemingly endless stockpile of tracks popping up as free downloads, it's becoming increasingly clear that Philadelphia's Weird Tapes are an exciting new talent in the dark electro/dance world. Facts are minimal, but it seems Weird Tapes are part of a collective that also includes Memory Cassette and Hail Social, both also from Philadelphia.

The latest track to emerge is "My Babe Walk", the hardest dance track I've heard yet from Weird Tapes, but it features a sample from Cyndi Lauper that works really, really well.
