Yeah, that one is pretty good, but it's no Demagnetizer.
That's my favorite Pixies album
I sent this to my buddy.
He didn't get it.
I feel old.
You're not old. You didn't see TNG on its first run from Farpoint to All Good Things.
Me? I remember when there were only two Star Treks and one was a cartoon sequel to the other.
You're not old
Tell that to my back
I'll see your back and raise you arthritis in my fingertips.
Arthritis in my toes!
Oh we're playing it that way, huh? Kidney stones!
Oh boy .... comparing age pains!!! My favorite game!
Arthritic pain so severe I can't raise one or both arms... and it comes and goes depending on the weather.
Okay you win. I actually drink way too much water.
But do you listen to three dog night?
I'm 31. I grew up listening to cassettes. It wasn't until '03 that I got my first CD player.
It took longer than I'd like to admit to get the joke.
I remember when there was just one. I wrongly dismissed the cartoon as not real Star Trek for a very long time, I never realized how good they really were.
I'm old, but I was young enough to enjoy them as a kid in the 1980s. 2 or 3 years before TNG premiered (I was 10 in 1987), Nickelodeon started showing TAS reruns.
Big time rip-off. Entire album was only like a minute long.
On the plus side, after listening to this garbage, all my other music seemed to sound better than ever. Guess something so bad renewed my appreciation for the good stuff.
Didn't they also come out with a music video on VHS ... I remember seeing it, it was unwatchable.
Yes and don't forget they also released little sniffing bottles to bind the whole experience together.
Their later songs on the tape lacked much of the dirt and grime in the sound.
Not gonna lie, i know what a cassete tape is, listened to them in highschool. I orginally thought this was gonna be a tin foil hat joke. Its a "head cleaner" (memory eraser from men on black) But i didnt know that cassetes players needed cleaned. Thanks for posting, i have learned somthing today!
No problem. I'll give you a slightly deeper dive- if you were very into cassette tapes, you cleaned the tape heads manually with a long q-tip with cleaning fluid on it and used a demagnetizing wand. The tapes cleaning were the cheap version of that and did run the risk of scratching the tape heads if any grit got on the cleaning tape.
I wasn't aware cassette reading heads needed cleaning. How does this work?
It's got a fuzzy strip instead of a tape. You put some cleaning fluid on the fuzzy strip, put it in the machine and press play. Good ones would also demagnetize the play head at the same time.
In case anybody wants to see the video:
