I threw away all my old cassettes 2 years ago when I was moving, I already regretted doing that 2 days after.
I had tons of cassetted with music taped from the radio. I would sit hour after hour listening to the radio, waiting for a certain song to come on so I could tape it. I had tons of these tapes.
remember that feeling of excitement when you would hear a song on the radio that you absolutely loved, but it would rarely get played. And then when you heard it again, it was such a treat.
But now, with things like LimeWire and torrents, everything is so readily available, I sometimes miss those old days when you had to make more of an effort.
Now there is also so much out there, you don't have time to check everything out properly so you dismiss a lot of things quite easily after listening to it only superficially. And 9 out 10 times it's crap anyway, but sometimes it happens that you hear it again maybe 2 years later and then discover it was pretty special after all.
