Recc me a tape recorder

Depends on for what purpose. Portable? Home recording? Mixing?

Home recording, something lo-fi

What are some reasons to buy cassettes other than the aesthetic and their low price?

That tape hiss can complement the music.

Watching those reels spin.

Because that's how the artist chooses to put out their music.

Local artists don't have money to press vinyl. Tapes promote recording albums and actually putting them out

This.
There's just something magical to the the warm pleasant toned hiss of the cassette.
CD is digital junk, vinyl is collected by douches with their heads waaaay up their asses and ain't got shit.
Cassette is the format of the true patrician.

Just a few

Massive Trux fan here :0

OH SHIT

I have the Goslings' Sister & Son/Death Garage, Live From Death Valley, and both of Scar Crowe's releases. What kind of tape deck should I get, a Nakamichi?

Great taste user, no joke. Album is severely underloved.

The only cassettes I buy are black metal and dungeon synth.

IT'S PAYNE! WHACK THE SUCKA!

Anyone listen to Joji, Tomppabeats,Jinsang, or Nujabes? If so what's your fav song?

I despise cassettes but I have to admit thats pretty cool

Tomppabeats is dope. Only listened to the Harbor LP though.

excellent taste friendo

Is there any way to listen to cassettes in public without looking like a massive faggot?

there is, but not for you

Anyone have any recommendations for a wall mounted high-capacity shelving unit for cassettes?

If you want a wooden one napa valley off eBay or craigslist is really your only option
