Some minutes later, on the corner of the market with the Stopera building, I picked up another small bit of cassette tape. But maybe this is just a bit from #225 that somehow had slipped out of my pocket, and that I picked up again ...? I'm not sure ... Anyway ... tell me, what's the name of that song again?

Amidst the same pile of rubbish there were many, many (thousands ... well, definitely some hundreds of them) small strands of reel-to-reel tape, all apparently originally belonging to a Philips reel-to-reel tape that I fished out as well, and more than half of which had been cut in two with something or other, along the narrow slice in the plastic reel, running from the tape's center to its outside (see picture), accounting for the many short pieces of tape that had come off. The part that was still on the reel appeared to be cut as well, and the strands kept falling off when I tried to 'unwind' it ... I collected a whole plastic bag full of these 'tape ends', but just pasted a handful together again. Enough to find out that the tape contains a collection of 'classic' pop and rock music.
