*** Quoting poindexter FORTRAN from a message to Spectre ***

I had lots of cassette accidents - especially that crappy car stereo
that ate tapes.

My shitbox of a car growing up was a Plymouth Horizon, which is basicly a Dodge Omni. It had a casette player in it, so I bought one of those 3.5mm to casette adapters for my Panasonic Shockwave portable CD player. It had
really good antiskip from what I remember.

My tapes are long gone, but I've got most of the music I'd listened
to on MP3 or CD, and I'll be damned if when I listen now I don't
expect the drop outs I'd heard countless times before.

Later on I got myself a Creative 32MB MP3 player & started getting MP3s from IRC. Some of the MP3 were clearly recorded from the radio, but still sounded fine. To this day when I hear certain songs I always expect to hear that one radio DJ start talking just before the end of the song.

Aside: on Paul Weller's debut solo album, there's a gap between two
tracks in the middle of the CD. If you turn the silence up, you can
hear the sound of a needle hitting the parking track, hear the
resonance of someone lifting the turntable cover, removing the arm, flipping the record over, putting the arm back on the record, and
lowering the turntable cover.

I'm glad you mentioned this artist. I don't think I ever heard of the
guy. But I like what I hear in the Wild Wood and Stanley Road albums from 1993 and 1995 respectively.

Seek out some material by Marc Cohn. You may like.

Light-years ahead of my Mazda GLC - the original one from the 70s.
Let's try to copy a VW Rabbit with a cast iron pushrod engine and
rear-wheel drive!

Paul Weller was the core of The Jam and The Style Council were two
seminal bands for me growing up. I can't listen to "My Ever Changing
Moods" and not be taken back to driving in my first car in high
school.

His later stuff balances rock with a touch of acoustic/folksy tunes
and R&B nicely. Two albums never sound quite the same to me. He puts
on a wild show for an old guy, too - lots of energy. I saw him live
in San Francisco a couple of years ago.

My CURRENT shitbox still has a cassette player in it. LOL I have all
the tapes from my teen years still so play them on occasion.
