    8 tracks are nothing

    When I was in Jr High, one of my friends parents had a reel-to-reel set up, now that's old school

    This band was on TV the other day and my mom said "I like them maybe I should buy their tape." I said "yeah sure why not all you have to do is go back to 1994."


    I am fixed

    "Somedays I wake up and feel like nobody loves me. Other days I wake up and feel like I love nobody. Sometimes I wake up and feel tired, and worn out. Sometimes I wake up and feel like I cannot face the day. But someday I'll wake up and realize that waking up is pretty stupid because it just makes you feel like crap."

    I'm not that young... oddly enough my boss was surprised I was old enough for VHS and cassettes. But I had audio-books for my Sony Walkman when I was young, before I got a CD players with 3 seconds of anti-skip

    I had a disposable camera that I wanted to use up a few years back so I took a picture of my niece who was like 3 or 4 at the time. After I took the picture she was like "can I see?" and I had to explain to her that it wasn't that type of camera. She didn't really get it, she just thought that all cameras were digital cameras.

    My wife was on a "haunted" tour of downtown, the old lady giving the tour made a comment about one of the houses, of how the "CD just flew out of the tape deck, and across the room"

    I have (had) a portable reel to reel recorder.It's blue and weighs about 30 pounds.I used the same tape over and over and over because my folks didn't have very much money raising 3 kids.

    Still....it was pretty fookin cool listening both ways on it and making recordings when we were lads

    We still have an 8 track player and it shoots out The Partridge Family tape every time we throw it in

    (Dave Cassidy's solo album stays in for some reason)

    Dunno if I ever saw a mini one...what size were the reels? The one my buddy's dad had was the full-sized one hooked into the hi-fi set. We weren't allowed anywhere near it

    My buddy's dad was an optometrist, so they had quite a bit of money....they always had all the newest and most expensive stuff.

    The reels were smaller than the regular ones for sure, I don't know the dimensions.The whole unit was quite heavy (being a kid) but very unique.My Dad worked at a seismic place that used BASF tape for all of it's analog records and he brought it home for me
