When a dead format can make you feel alive!

I remember it was the summer of 1989 when my father brought home our very first “family” cassette player! The word SONY was so bright and perfect. And with that cassette player he had also bought 6 brand new cassette tapes to go with it. I had no idea that this moment would change my life forever, and also define who I was going to be when I got older..... As my father read off the names of the cassettes, me being 5 at the time he was announcing them to me, one by one.......”VAN HALEN - 1984”....I thought to myself “I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS,BUT SOUNDS SO GOOD WHEN MY DADDY SAYS IT!”. “ZZ TOP - ELIMINATOR”.....”HEY, HE SAID MY NAME....I THINK?!”. “VAN MORRISON - MOONDANCE” .......”NOT AS EXITING AS THE FIRST 2, BUT HITS ME IN A DIFFERENT WAY!” “JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS - I LOVE ROCK & ROLL”........”OMG....SOMETHING IS HAPPENING TO ME!”. By this time I’m jumping up and down with excitement and almost crying with joy, over names I’d never heard and an object that was absolutely foreign to me. “METALLICA - MASTER OF PUPPETS” .......... “THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY.........”. “AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST..... THE MOTHER FU**IN MISFITS - EARTH A.D!”. Right then I dropped to my knees with a wonderful feeling of acceptance, understanding, and dedication as if I had just been given the purple heart or saved an elderly person from being run over. Again, all of this was over a subject I knew nothing of and an object I never new existed. Yes....I know, when you read this out loud it sounds absolutely absurd....but thats why we here at DEAD FORMATS do what we do. Because all of us here had that same feeling over a mother fu***ng cassette tape!
