I was never into any of these live-action shows honestly. I preferred cartoons.

You sure this isn't some cheesy porno movie that was shown at the Blue Moviehouse downtown???

Remember when television stations still signed off at night, and would have on an overnight test pattern?





At sign-on, a chirpy voice would announce the station call letters and say "Good morning! We now begin our broadcast day."

When the station would happen to experience technical difficulties, various other graphics would be aired:

Making a tape - the hardship that went into it! Rewinding and fastforwarding the tape to tighten it, setting aside a whoooole day to record it, let alone making a playlist! none of this "shuffle" crap.

And taping songs off the radio. Downloading them, perfect quality, is just NOT the same

Mix tapes!!!! I used to be the king of mixed tapes. Cueing it up just right cuz you couldn't edit that shit with a computer I do have to admit, I love making Mix CDs Much tighter product

Oh, and this may only be one for Brits, but TV acutally ending at a certain time of night, and going into ceefax, or just off

Now you can watch MTV when you wake up in the middle of the night. When I was little, it was random music and teletext!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I know, it IS better - but I miss that whole experience

And I think its because I loved making tapes so much, that my ipod, constantly on shuffle, is just a total letdown.

Did you ever record songs on the other side of the tape, at exactly the right place after the one on the A side, so you could just listen to the same ones over again?!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I still make mixtapes.

Nowhere near as often as I used to, but I find it fun.

I was born in the 80's so I am aware of tape players and tapes, VHS, and DVDs.

sextonseven said:

It wasn't a diss sexton They don't even sell the damn tapes anyomre anywhere I shop!

sextonseven said:

I made one last year It was great!

Also, because my CD player has been broken for about 2 years, and I can only play CDs in my laptop, which isn't always on. Tapes are always ready!

susannah said:

I used to hate mis-timing the commercial breaks and ending up with parts of the DJ's super-hyped ass on my tapes....

So was I , but I dont always count myself as the younger generation! The way I see it, people who were born in the 90s are like, 17 so I cant be the younger generation!

reneGade20 said:

Rewind, start again!

I remember I always, always had a tape in the player waiting to press record if a favourite song came on....i still kinda wish for that when I hear a good song now actually!

PROGRESS AIN'T SO BAD, AFTERALL.

I know you didn't mean it that way.

I get blank cassettes from drug stores and places like that that are too lazy to evaluate their stock. The stuff I tape are usually obscure vinyl-only mixes and I don't have the hardware to convert my vinyl into mp3s yet so I still do it old school.
