CDs? I remember tapes.
God I used to hate DJ's that would talk up to the post. Used to record all my music from the air from the late night DJ's because they would often just queue up a few songs with no talking.
I was behind a kid in Chipotle last week that had an honest to god Walkman on him with the original headphones. it seemed WAY larger than I remembered.
Because they were doing hookers and blow in the booth.
Or just really shy and didn't get any training about what to say during the breaks (I did a short stint with a small town radio station).
I have an older friend who was a big time DJ in the 80's. He has some stories that'll turn your head. Apparently the industry was very party focused back then.
Upvoted for Chipotle and Walkman's.
I remember giving the joystick port on my C64 a wet willy to activate cheat mode on a game. No, I'm not making that up.
Lmao I had a walkman, and I remember that the less power the batteries had, the slower the tape played. Sometimes I didn't even knew if the song was playing at full speed.
Ah, double decks with high speed copy...
