IT’S INTERNATIONAL CASSETTE Day!
And to celebrate, we’re taking an old fogey look back at how things used to be, when music was music and we were all really, really young, many many years ago.
Youngsters will never understand…
This necessary relationship
And the necessary relationship between this hole and a tiny piece of paper
Trying to break into a jog with one of these strapped to your belt
This:
Whoops!

Trying to press PLAY and REC at the perfect time
Post-Internet, this:

Queuing all night for tickets
When Garth Brooks tickets went on sale last summer the queues for them were a phenomenon. People were thought to be CRACKED to be staying out all night to get their hands on them.
Pre-internet though, queueing was the norm. How else do you think you got to see Robbie Williams at Slane? Or Blur in The Point Depot. Queuing all night, that’s how!
Half of a song on one side of a tape, and then the other half on the other side
The pain of this
Buying the wrong recordable CDs
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CD-R AND CD-RW? WHY WON’T YOU PLAY IN MY GHETTOBLASTER? ARGHHHHH!
