"earl Has To Die!"

[fatter than harry]

I've been driving around Phuket for six months now with a dixie chicks cassette stuck in my stereo. I know that never has a band from the US had a more apt name for crusing the streets of Thailand, however I'm repeatedly frustrated in my efforts to change the tape as I can't find anything better here in Phuket - by better I mean original artists, not air brushed copies of Ellon Jon sings the Hitz.

I have to make a trip to Bangkok this weekend and am asking, nay pleading for any assistance in my search to replace the D. Chicks tape in my car - my god I'm having dreams about the song "Earl has to die!", and I find that when I go to use my bathroom I'm two stepping all the way there

Its so wrong. I need to know of any places I can get myself along to that sell cassettes with real music on them.

I know tapes are old hat but I think I've tried almost everywhere in Phuket with no luck, it's not like asking for 8 tracks or anything......<sniff>

Please help, cos I'm feeling the need to buy those snakeskin cowboy boots I see in the shop on my way home from work and that will be the end!

FTH

go to New Tor Arai near Robinsons in Phuket City and buy a CD player, fitted with a guarentee for 3,500 baht, then your tape drama is over...

A cassette? What is a cassette?

Unless u have family and friends overseas somewhere, that u know would be able to find the real thing, even if it is a cassette. I figure they wouldnt mind sending it to u.

I once seen one of them cassettes in a book in History classes. Pretty peculiar object used to produce music (sounds) when coupled to a cassette-box-machine.

The chicks have gone!

Ahhhh, the joys of retail therapy! I was up in Bangkok again these past few days and I bummed around Siam Centre for five hours, being a blackbelt window shopper starved of action this came easy.

I spent half an hour in Asia Books looking for Keith Moon's Autobiography (not in yet) but in the looking for it I picked up two beauty books (Roscoe - William Kennedy and Cryptonomicon - Neal Stepehnson (one of my top 5 books of all time, lent to a friend, never to be seen again) Then I went into CD Warehouse, I remebered it as Tower records a few years back? Anyways, what a treasure trove of music - I picked up The commodores Machine Gun CD for 275 baht, surely the funk bargin of the century, incidentally a CD which I lent to a friend a while back......I need to get friends with better 'returning stuff' qualities.

To cut to the chase, they had a wall a whole wall of cassettes, I have replaced those d@mnable Dixie Chicks with Norah Jones! Hooray, I can now update my forum profile accordingly!

Thanks for your advice, CD Warehouse gets two big thumbs, it gets no better than that!

I agree, trash the cassette player and put in a CD. Jump out of the stone age.
