I just came across a passel of (mostly) funk music mix tapes (yes, cassette tapes) Dean Haspiel propagated in the 1990s. Some of the cassettes were embellished with photos—Dino shirtless, natch, and also one of his beloved cat.

A partial list of these Dino Dazzlers:

• Been Getting Busy
• Bound by Business
• A Fistful of Funk
• Full Frontal Funk
• Global Get-Ill
• Grooveallegance
• Must Music for the Masses
• Since Time
• Snot Rockets for the Booger Inside
• This is What I Do
• Time to Get Busy!
• and of course, Dean Makes JMRN Cool!
