    John T. Baker

    John T. Baker first arrived in GAJOOB’s PO Box with his cassette, Itchy Scalp Theater in 1995, and was an instant favorite of mine. His brand of guitar-laden, melodic pop is a joy.

    Tom Furgas

    P00474 Tom Furgas’ 1986 Courtesy Patrol cassette with Bill Lehman called Razor Clocks was one of my earliest exposures to cassette culture and resonated with my own style of music most among the first tapes I ordered. Tom was the first cassette culture artist I interviewed.
