Oh come on. Play Both Sides is a masterpiece. Peak Head Cleaner.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, that one is pretty good, but it's no Demagnetizer.

[–] jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago

That's my favorite Pixies album

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I sent this to my buddy.

He didn't get it.

I feel old.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're not old

Tell that to my back

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll see your back and raise you arthritis in my fingertips.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Oh we're playing it that way, huh? Kidney stones!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Okay you win. I actually drink way too much water.

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Didn't they also come out with a music video on VHS ... I remember seeing it, it was unwatchable.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Yes and don't forget they also released little sniffing bottles to bind the whole experience together.

[–] connaisseur@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago

Their later songs on the tape lacked much of the dirt and grime in the sound.

[–] Aremel@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wasn't aware cassette reading heads needed cleaning. How does this work?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

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.
