Skeleton made up of melted cassettes is creepily awesome
So you've got a pile of old cassettes sitting around that you can't get yourself to throw away. The memories, man! But you don't want them cluttering up your closet anymore, as you, understandably, never listen to cassettes anymore. What to do?
Well, if you're like Brian Dettmer, you'll make an entire skeleton out of melted cassette tapes. Yes, this somewhat unsettling work of art is comprised of everyone's favorite outdated audio medium (well, except vinyl. And maybe 8 tracks. You know what I'm saying.). It's both awesome and kind of creepy at the same time. But hey, at least he didn't have to throw away his cassettes, right?

Wonder if this skeleton is traveling and making money. The RIAA is probably going to shut it down b/c think about the profit he's making and all those artists that are not receiving their "fair" take. har har har
I would laugh my arse off if we see a story about the RIAA filing some kind of fair use case against Mr. Skeleton.
