Hate 'em, don't miss 'em.
The tangling, the warping, the hiss.
The massive amount of time it took to make a mixtape.
The crappy sound quality, the inordinate cost.
The stupid record companies shuffling the song order of an album just so it would fit on a cassette. (That should be "She's the One", not "Night".)
To hell with 'em. Good riddance.
Oh, and screw VHS, too.
And CDs, while we're at it.
Sorry, John but I gotta partially disagree with you. Before the advent of the CD burner, the blank cassette was the best way to preserve a newly bought vinyl record album. I loved using the leftover space to include the non-album B-side.
ReplyDeleteHow dare you partially disagree with me.
ReplyDeleteI don't say they weren't handy in some instances, I merely say I don't miss 'em.
DeleteI do still love LPs, though.
