@kidneon.bsky.social's album 'Straight to Video'.

#Synthwave #CassetteCulture #CassetteLife #Tapes #Cassette

A signed cassette album, Straight to Video, by synthwave artist, Kid Neon - sits on a video cassette. The design of Kid Neon's album is remiscent of a 1980s VHS tape cover, with abstract shapes. The whole image has a retro filter on it, making it look like a grainy video screen.

Today we celebrated the wedding of our bro @kidneon.bsky.social to Kiera, and what an amazing and beautiful day it was. Brimming with love, and IVERSEN (London's finest synthpop band) even became a wedding band to top it off. Congratulations Jay!

Jana Tyrell and IVERSEN entertain the wedding party.

Yo, the new @donorlens.bsky.social tapes are hitting doorsteps. Sharing this ahead of #Cassunday

#vaporwave #CassetteCulture #CassetteLife #Cassettes

The image shows a nostalgic collection of vintage audio equipment. At the centre is a black Sanyo portable cassette player/radio (commonly known as a Walkman-style device) with visible FM/AM frequency scales (88-108 MHz for FM and 53-160 kHz for AM).

There is a cassette tape in the image:
- A light gray cassette tape positioned on top with the text "AS WARM AS SUMMER" printed on it and the letter "A" indicating side A of the tape
- A clear plastic cassette case at the bottom containing what appears to be a cassette box, though the artwork on it is somewhat blurry, we can make out a dog wearing sunglasses.

In the bottom left corner of the image, you can see what looks like the plug end of headphones or earbuds with a gold-coloured connector.

This arrangement captures a slice of pre-digital music technology from the 1980s/1990s era, when portable cassette players and mix tapes were popular ways to listen to and share music.
