'Peak Melbourne': Music fans huddle around cassette player in city laneway
Hundreds of music fans have gathered around a cassette player in a Fitzroy laneway to hear the highly anticipated new album from indie darlings Bon Iver.

Hipsters from across the city gathered for the album launch just off Johnston Street after the popular act posted a series of cryptic images with addresses in cities around the world

Other locations included London, Amsterdam, Paris and Brooklyn.

Those who attended the listening party found a vintage stereo and the instructions "when the music stops, flip the tape".

I remember being mocked for still having a cassette player in my first car 16 years ago. Now hipsters would want to car pool with me if I still had it.

And that boombox looks like one of those shitty Koss cassette/radios you could get at Target for $20 and they already sounded like you blew the speakers.

Pfft cassette, they should be listening to a wax cynclider. That's real OG Hipstering!. Fits in with their beards and 1920s hairstyles too!.

It just has a warmer sound. You wouldn't understand.

Au contraire, to paraphrase Peanut Butter Wolf my cassettes weigh a ton! But wax cynclider is were it's at. No, scratch that I have Gregorian chanted versions of the pop hits of the day, which are exquisite!!.

And yet when me and my friends gather in lane ways in Fitzroy to vomit, we get hassled!
