Welcome to my tape exchange page, hopefully a genuinely useful resource for those of us who are really interested in music.  I’ve found in the last few years that the media has become so conservative in what music it will promote it’s hard to actually hear about new artists.  Looking at the bands I’ve got into in the last few years they’ve all been recommendations from friends or occasionally fanzines.  I came up with this idea because I’m too lazy to start my own ‘zine, but if you want to see how it’s done, the mighty Organ does come highly recommended.

The idea is simple, if you send me a tape of your favourite music I will send you another tape in return with someone else’s favourites.  With a bit of luck this will give you a chance to listen to 25 new artists without having to pay for the privilege.  Assuming that your tastes are fairly broad there’s a good chance that some of them will interest you.  The worst that can happen is that it will cost you a few stamps.  I hope you will give this service a try, and recommend it to your friends.  Apart from maybe posting a link to a few of the music newsgroups I don’t intend to promote the page, so it will rely on word of mouth to keep going.

I am running this service because I enjoy listening to most types of music and would like to share my interest with some like-minded people.  I am making no money out of this so I don’t want to spend all my spare time on it.  However, if you think I could make improvements, or just have any general comments please let me know.
