Just days before my friend Mimi defected from Los Angeles and returned to the snake pit that is New York City, I wrangled her and her friend Aleeza in to the state of the art Future Shipwreck Podcasting Studioâ„¢. With their powers combined, Mimi and Aleeza form an indefatigable duo known only as Tape Safari! Tape Safari took a unique approach to their podcast, cultivating a cavalry of mysterious thrift store cassettes and arranging them into something at once nostalgic, foreign, and delirious.

Tape Safari
Tape Safari is about time and space and cassettes.
These tapes were found at St. Vincent de Paul in Los Angeles 3/10/07.
Tape Safari is an adventure for you and me. We will take it together.
Tape Safari needs no excuses.
Tape Safari’s secret ingredient is love.
The Hunt has begun. |

Safari Secrets:
1. Judge tapes by their covers.
2. Judge tapes by their rad sounding titles (see track #2)
3. Just because you think a tape might be Hawaiian, it might be Finnish
4. Sometimes a keytar is not the sign of gold, but instead smooth jazz
5. The artist responsible for track #7 is now a Finnish politician that looks like Elton John’s goofy cousin.
6. A Finnish family must have recently updated to CDs. Always a good sign to go in for a kill.
