I trade tapes from places around the world and even still have a tape-walkman. I love them, usually it's the more "poor" places that trades in them - and why not!
The fact is that the tape format is cheap and easy, plus versatile. I am happy to see no end of tape "labels" popping up from all round the place and still putting stuff out, and that this is lasting.
When I set my distro up at a local gig a while back, I noticed two things when people looked at my tapes. A guy in his mid-20s said "wow, retro!" and laughed, while a bunch of girls that I guess must have been around 17-19 looked at them as alien artifacts.
Since CD is, and has always been boring as fuck, Mini-Disc vanished, MP3 is cool but expendable I see Vinyl and Tape as the old skool way forward!
Some places that still make and/or sell tapes, there are of course many, many more!
