Fuck, her voice is awful.
I’ve tried explaining CDs, cassettes and not having mobile phones to my 6 year old and she thinks I’m making it all up.

Oh do fuck off. Late 1900s indeed. And yet still entirely accurate. I am so ANGRY |

Actually thought her voice was being dubbed over.

I appreciate her enthusiasm

I know but you still lost a fair chunk of the song.
As I got older you could get 3 ex jukebox 7 inches with the hole cut out for 50p on Oldham market. I used to get loads with my paper round money and those plastic inserts to fill the jukebox hole.

Just about every time I go on to Apple Music to try and fail to find old obscure albums from obscure bands no one liked to justify holding on to all my vinyl, I invariably also find other albums by the band I had never heard about at the time. Looking back, I can't remember how I found out about records, other than finding them in record shops. Late 1900s indeed. If I went back 35 years from when I got into music, it would have been before Bil Hailey. Kids just have too much popular culture to catch up with.

It’s crazy isn’t it.
I hear early 90s stuff being played and think it’s modern still and see twenty year olds enjoying it.
Thirty years ago, which would have me listening to 1940s shit when I was twenty.

Need to be ready on the pause button imo. No such luxuries as a pause button on my first radio cassette player. I remember my mum going up the wall because I spent £13 of my saved up cash on a new radio cassette player that did have a pause button.  |

I got my first Hi-fi for my 13th birthday. It was ace, turntable and double deck which both could record. Before that I was using an old turntable that my parents had. In hindsight, that was probably better quality but I loved the convenience of the all in one.

Jesus wept my son has never seen a cassette tape or a VHS tape. Yet if I actually get hold of either and show him I know I'll feel so old that I'll think I've drank from the wrong grail. |

Fucking hell even THAT reference is really fucking old.
Can I only talk about old things? I can can't I. I'm old. I'm really fucking old.
Oh...bother.

Probably. Good to get hot under the collar about something as you get older though.

I got gifted a turntable on my 8 or 9th birthday along with 2 records, Sladest by Slade and 3 Feet High & Rising. I’m not embarrassed to admit that Slade got the most play time back then

If I went back 35 years from when I got into music, it would have been before Bil Hailey. Kids just have too much popular culture to catch up with. As soon as I had any money I would just go and look at the new releases section of my local HMV and buy stuff I’d never heard of. I didn’t listen to the radio at all so I ended up just picking things that looked interesting or maybe I’d vaguely heard of. I’m pretty sure the stuff I found then makes up the majority of what I still listen to, or at least stuff by the same people. Stuff 35 years old would have seemed ancient when I was a kid. Even the Beatles seemed old music and my parents didn’t listen to that, they were more current for the time than I am now. |

At 11/12/13 I was mostly into pop that I was fed on radio 1. Then my brother left home and left me his collection of Bowie, Smiths etc. I was then hooked on all things 80s but also started delving back into classic rock. So good, so many great acts. That they were made 10-20 years previously didn't bother me at all. Along with 90s music, it still makes up the lion share of my listening now. New music just ain't the same.

Even as a youngster my music tastes rarely strayed far before the 80s. I'd be curious to break down my main playlist by decade. Its probably 5% before the 80s and 50%+ 80s.
Had a Jerry Lee Lewis "vintage cassette tape" when I was younger mind you. Certified bangers!

I think the first time I realised I liked music was when I was about 7 and my mum gave me her Walkman and some Motown greatest hits compilation, I’d spend hours with that on repeat until the batteries died. I can’t remember much else until britpop ~5 years later

I had a Rolf Harris cassette that I listened to in bed every night as a child. Jake the Peg was my favourite

I remember clearly saying to my mum when I was wee that I was sad as I didn't know any music/musicians etc and my brothers all were listening to bands etc. I got a Aiwa personal stereo and an old Rolf Harris tape to listen to. Happy days! |

The first album I bought sadly was Dangerous by Michael Jackson on cassette. I don't recall specifically wanting it, but it was just out and was the first thing I think I saw when I went in to John Menzies. I would have been 10 I think. Before then I don't honestly remember what music I liked. My folks used to play a lot of Phil Collins era Genesis in the car on car trips and I think that's still why I like listening to that stuff. Clannad as well. I still listen to that on occasion too. Macalla is a great album.
