@mattblaze yeah I hate the culty, fashion-oriented branding as much as I like the cameras. I have one of the Voigtländer cameras Cosina made. I think they could have kept going and made a great alternative to Leica digital bodies at least.

@atomicpoet @videogames that's pretty awesome though. You should get her autograph, it could be something really funny. From one Chris Trottier to another.

@atomicpoet @recordpics also if I remember right, the title track was written by someone outside of the band with the idea that it'd be their hit (maybe it was more of a hit in the US than in Canada)

@atomicpoet @recordpics it's quite possible that somewhere in storage, my mom has that exact tape. My parents were listening to that album a lot when I was around 5-6. And around that same time the band my dad was in was also covering Working For the Weekend (not from this album). But because of the age I was at, the music now reminds me of stuff I was thinking about at the time, like stegosauruses.

@atomicpoet @recordpics I even made some back in the day. I was 10-12 when I was doing that, using my parents’ jukebox to dub over tracks from other tapes to make my own compilations. Eventually, Napster and CD-R’s gave me a more streamlined way of doing that. But I did recently make a literal mixtape for my half-brother.

@atomicpoet @movies I was a huge fan as a kid and was sad when he died. It was something of a yearly ritual of my family to watch The Great Outdoors. We lived up in the mountains and had an uncle JUST like "Uncle Roman"
