You go, Micke ! You’re a hero !
Maybe a fictional hero, but those are good too.
He is real. The website had to be taken down due to copyright issues. He is considering what to do next on the web, but I think his tape club still rolls on.
Nice, enjoyed this
That was fantastic!
Awesome stuff, I really enjoyed that. Great music too!
Great mini-doc!
You have to make the music that you want to hear – even if it seems crazy to others!
Keep it up! That’s musik attitude!
Loved this. 4 thumbs up.
This doco is great, but it’s not real. The scene where the sound guy puts the magnet in the tapes is quite clearly staged. And the two blokes in the yellow rain gear plus the girl are acting. It’s very well done but its fake. Try finding the guys website, or even his surname. It doesn’t exist.
