This probably falls into the category of weird hobbies. Friends have asked me about it, so I figured it was time to write it down. Some history I grew up in the 80s and cassettes were a big part of how I experienced music. I remember recording bits of radio shows to create my own mixtapes.

Der Tag begann nicht wirklich einladend, mit 4C und angekündigtem Regen. Ich habe die wärmsten Stunden abgepasst und am Ende nur ein paar Tropfen abbekommen. Ich bin eine Strecke gefahren, die ich gut kenne, und habe auch darauf geachtet, dass ich nicht so lange unterwegs bin, weil die Hunde alleine zu Hause waren. ...
