    never will they know sitting through the full Top 40 and recording only a few of the songs you wanted, having the timing of a legendary DJ to be able to time the recording of the song as soon as the DJ stopped gassing at the start!

    I used to do that all the time!

    I was even more old school when I was a kid...I had an old school tape recorder with an old school hand held microphone I would leave sitting on the clock radio I had so that I could hit record any time a song came on that I wanted.

    And did you ever notice, without fail, that if you had a favorite cassette, it would invariably end up looking like this at some point:

    Yup, and even if you managed to get it out without breaking the tape, it was completely unplayable ever again

    But, then you got to use the pencil to reel the tape back in, and now you can remember the connection~!

    Tapes...I've got record and eight track stories...and I know what 78, 45, and 33 and one third RPM are...kids today only know computers...but, maybe that's not so bad?

    you pups probably don't know the correlation of an 8-track tape and a matchbook either.

    Was that to jam it down in the machine and make it work correctly? Because I remember my brother doing weird things to hold his eight tracks in place.

    Hey, what were those little yellow spindles called that you could insert into the center of a 45 to make it fit on a turntable that wasn't equipped with the pop up center?

    I remember splicing back together my U2 joshua tree album, and fitting the spools of tape into the body of a TDK housing (they had screws instead of being glued).
    It worked, although there was a bit where bono sounded a bit weird, but nobody seemed to notice

    come back to my place, I'll show you how to drink tequila.
