Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 335

Hippies Need Houses.

Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.

You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.

If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.

The shows stay free for the first week. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.

Now. Each of these episodes is a two-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.

A monster, a music box and a toy Dalek sharing a loch, then a scream addressed to you.
Side A makes tea for three guests at the same water, finds houses for the long-haired with the roof already on, leaves a face deciding to arrive at the free fire, thinks on a Swedish summer afternoon while the pond remembers Atlantis, rings a modern call during migration, and lets the waterfall do the drapery for the live figure. Side B distils essences numbered one-point-one with the exploration still open, scans the stacks with the card catalogue still listening, faces the chorale toward the warmer wall, invites you across the threshold with the kettle already on, holds the room in a thrice-holy hymn, and keeps a place for the scream that already knows your name.
Overall mood: Eccentric, and quietly welcoming — full of open doors, free fires, and co-ops that keep a place for the loud one. Perfect for dusk listening, garden ponds, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a monster, a music box and a toy Dalek sharing a loch, houses for the long-haired, a face left at the door, thoughts on a Swedish summer afternoon, a modern call during migration, a figure by falling water, live and unclothed.
