Fediverse Punk Month — We can grow something better!

We invest too much of our culture in centralized, for-profit, corporate social media platforms. These platforms enrich billionaires, expand surveillance, and fund the cult of capitalist war, all while trapping us with addictive algorithms that feed us mindless content. […]

More musical sub-quests:

In 1985 Wild Asparagus, released their first album, "In Season". To my knowledge it was only ever released on cassette, and went out of circulation long ago.

Does anyone have this cassette, and if so:

A. would you be willing to rip it and share WAV or FLAC files, or
B: physically mail it to me so I can rip it and send it back?

I'd like to preserve this album before all the tapes go bad.

This is probably a huge stretch, but there was a band about 10 years ago called "The Coffee Zombies" that played a mix of traditional folk tunes and jazz standards, mostly for #Contra dances. They had two albums, one of which I have and the other of which is not available for purchase outside of Apple as far as I can tell. Do I know anyone who knows anyone who happens to have "Good to the Last Beat" in either (rippable) CD or digital form?
