"Buel, a 48-year-old based in Daly City, Calif., is a fan of Swift's music an affinity she shares with her teenage daughter, who has since bought her mother more tapes as gifts."
"Although Buel might be an extreme proponent of retro design she works as chief revenue officer at ThredUp, an online consignment store the cassette's return is by now almost as unmistakable as the format's distinctive hiss and warble."
"Nearly a decade later, Swift's latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, stands as the top-selling cassette of the year so far, with about 23,000 copies sold through June 30."
"If Spotify killed the iTunes star, and vinyl is increasingly a high-priced luxury item never mind CDs for the moment then cassettes could be the cockroaches that outlive them."
