RUUNAWAY TRAIN NEVER COMING BACKK

what do you do now that you're 11?

+8

If you waited for a song you like to come on wouldn't the beginning of the song be cut off?

I had the most fun using the CD cassette tape combos to record the music from the original tomb raider onto a cassette. I loved how when you put the old playstation games into a CD player it would just play all the music contained in the game.

+5 FOR SMATHING PUMPKINS

Wow, this YTMND brought back some memories....

Yes, 5'd for sound alone. memories...

You know you are old when you say the boom box and thought "Man, that one is pretty sweet, didn't have THAT sh*t when i was 10" and what you were thinking of was; http://farm1.static.flickr.com/128/423505713_2d7a0007bb.jpg?v=0

way to change the site title so my awesome comment no longer makes sense

+2

i did the same thing. id listen to the same songs over and over again until i got sick of one and listened to the radio until i heard something i liked and recorded over it. -3 for nastalgia you f*cking f*ggot

damn straight 1992 all over again f*ckin cassettes up the *ss in the 90's..too bad they're all somewhere in my basement now lol

+2

RIP tape cassette circa 1998

+5

We just have to make sure the russians don't find out.. Georgia will thank us.

+3

We in Russia knew the secret from the beginning. We also made COPIES from other cassettes (wow, you must've never guessed it was possible) and that was real pirating. We even managed to make copies without dual cassette players, with 2(!) single cassette players and an earphone.

+1

You were 10 in '98? Holy smokes I have underwear older than you. (I've got to get off this site)

+9

I was only 7/8.

I was 9.

Back when you were making mixed tapes off the radio, I had a cassette-only "record" label and we did mail-order through BBSs on this new thing called "the internet." Mike Landucci, where are you now?

When I was 13 I signed up for the Columbia House Record deal where you got 10 albums for one penny. That's right, RECORD albums. I got Kiss-Rock Army, ZZ Top-Fandango, ELO-A New World Record....aw f*ck, you kids don't care. Besides, it's time for me to rinse my dentures...............

+2

I had every Doors album, most of them from Columbia House. Somewhere in the 90s though, when my friend ran a record store in Venice Beach, I sold them all so I could buy a bunch of Shrimper cassettes and 7" comps. I can't decide which era I'm more ashamed of.

SilverDollar should probably invest in some new underwear.

+2

I was only 18 in 1998. Ah, mems.

+1

I was 17 in 1998. I feel old.

+1

truth

that's about right. I always had to use both record AND play. Here's a tip: Use the pause button, for seamless song to song transitioning in ur mix.

+5

this also works for television programs

+1

I always hated the flutter between recordings. Nothing like a big squeel to wake you up on the road.

+2

How'd you get TV on your radio, pgn2b?

+1

magic

+1

win

haha, i did that in high school. then i started using my sound card & converting to RA. then i had to delete a bunch of sh*tty RA files when mp3 took over. ahhh memories

memories hidden in the corner of my mind...

I DID IT TOO, WITH MY DICK RECORDER

+9

I totally did that too.

also, the walkman's batteries would last about forty minutes at top volume.

I filled up an entire tape with, "Are You Jimmy Ray?"

+3

get help... now.

+2

who wants to know?

+2

I know I know I know I know I know I know

-1

ROFL KARTOFL!! I filled an entire tape with one enya song! yeah I liked that song...

lol i did ittoo!

-3

and depending on the boombox, you could press record and fast forward at the same time, and the tracks would playback ultra-slowed down.

+5

I believe that's known as 'chopped and screwed'.

+2

Brilliant.

I did it with one of the flute recorders. I was good with my lips.

YES! hahaha I did the exact same thing.

+1

iTunes: 1 song, 99 cents. Audio Cassette tape: 3 tapes (roughly 3 albums), 99 cents.

+17

BitTorrent: Priceless.

+22

For honest people, there's CD's and iTunes. For everyone else, there's the internet.

+19

so f*cking true lol

+1

The FBI is onto you, man. keep this on the dl!

+5

That actually isn't considered piracy and is as legal as recording a TV show.

-2

Actually hank, as much as I want to agree with you, the RIAA has for decades argued that they disagree with the copying for "personal use" clause. I've heard their lawyers state, in front of hundreds of people on more than one occasion, that traditional copyright laws provide for no such legal duplication or usage. They're total tools and have been for over half a century.

+4

Nice, but you forgot step 7: Get pissed when the stupid DJ started talking in the middle of the song.

+9

I like how tkx7's mix is typed in on the tape

+2

Everyone remember dial-up modems? Remember that CRAZY sound it made? That was CRAZY, wasn't it?

+3

power "chord"? christ.

+5

Actually, the misspelling made it just about 1000x funnier.

+3

yeah, like in some HEAVY METAL song!

You have to hit the play button at the same time as record. Everyone knows that.

5'd for 1979

here here

I used to listen to the ABCs on a cassette tape...every night.

i had a letter people tape

One of these days ask gr33nscr33n how he did it. It invloved bees wax, his mom's knitting needle, a piece of hemp twine and a wagon wheel.

+6

You are so wrong, SD. When I wanted to hear a song back when I was 10 I'd hit one of my 37 sisters with a club until she sang what I wanted to hear. Plus, we got great reverb in that cave.

+4

MACGYYYVVEERRRRRRRR

"In Kazakstan, we think US and A technology very good, but here you have technology very primitive..."

Nostalgic as this may be, I was neither amused nor inspired.

I've heard good things about this Napster program...

really bad music

-6

5

I think every kid used to do this, the same kids now download p2p and bittorrent. Times haven't really changed, just the technology.

+1

it sucked back then. you had to have "friends" in RL... not just 'buddies' like nowadays.

+2

Man, this brought back some good memories of when I used to do this. I used to do most of the tricks mentioned so far in these comments too. I remember not wanting to switch over to cd's for the longest time because they sounded a little TOO good, like it felt lifeless in a way. The fun of capturing songs live on the radio as they played was something that couldn't be replaced either.

+2

ive done it

I used to record movie soundtracks by fast-forwarding my VHS tapes to the end credits. Then I would stick my radio right next to my tv speakers & hit record. The sound quality was sh*t but I didn't care. The thing that makes this really pitiful is that my VHS collection was made up of copied rentals from Major Video . My mom was too cheap to buy me real copies (She only got me things I didn't care about like food & clothes). I've still got a tape with the Ghostbusters, Goonies, & Gremlins themes.

+4

I did the exact same thing with Disorderlies and Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon. Also R.I.P. Sho' Nuff.

Here's an equally awesome secret: If you can get on top of the brick wall that lines the top of World 1-2 in Super Mario Bros., run along it to the end of the level and you can warp to another world! SSSH! It's a secret to everyone!

If you can break a hole in the wall from underneath, then align the middle of your body with that wall and keep moving right, it takes you to a secret, apparently forever, under water world.

Presses Play and Record - "I'm a Barbie Girl in my-" -sh*t- *rewinds* *waits* Presses Play and Record - "Waiting for tonight! Ohohhh" -sh*t- *rewinds* *waits* Presses Play and Record - "Ride it my pony" - sh*t - Repeat 30X

+6

Yeah

Who remembers Pause-Tapes?

what the f*ck is this "cassette tape" you speak of? I only know of hard drive based music players.

-2

I remember this all too well.

WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS ILLEGAL SIR, AND THE RIAA WILL GET A CALL FROM ME FORTHWITH! GOOD DAY!

+2

I called the FBI. They are on the way.

+3

That's how I did it.

You owe the RIAA 1.7 Million. Their lawyers should be contacting you soon.

+1

The only way I was able to pirate music when I was 10 was taking a sewing pin and scratching a vinyl record! It sounded horrible but it was music! Kids these days and their cassettes! Bah!

+1

All getting some piece of commercial or DJ talking at the ends then it gets burned into your brain as part of the song.

I was expecting the old "how i pirated music by timmy age10" all draw crazy and childish, but its good still.

+1

If you go back and read up on music industry history, there was almost as much hysteria and even litigation back then over cassettes (and CD burners; and with the movie industry it was VCRs) as there is today over digital formats. Not exactly a forward looking group of people, them.

+1

it's power CORD, not CHORD DUMBASS. -3 FOR SPELLING ERROR

-2

I used to record with that gray cassette recorder called the Talkboy or some sh*t, they had it in Home Alone 2, but that was for TV as well as other stupid stuff

You mean the tiger queerboy?

your secret is not a secret. that's not considered pirating. why else would they include a record button. i did that too when i was younger with some Nirvana songs. everyone already knew this. =D

-3

Remember how back in the 90's we would talk about how horrible and primitive 8-tracks must have been? Just think, kids now will look back at our cassette tapes and think the same thing. lol, f*ck, we getting old.

I used to make video game soundtracks by putting my TalkBoy up to my T.V.'s speaker. My earliest one was of the Street Fighter 2 soundtrack. :D

""POW"er ch0rdZ"'

This site has a way to pirate music that none of you have ever heard of: www.lastmeasure.com

sh*tballs you are all young... wheres the Reel to Reel?

You're gonna be so screwed when the RIAA can travel back in time.

not funny.

-1

I remember talking about music with a friend and his younger cousin. I said "Remember that one song? It was the 2nd song on the 2nd side." My friend goes, "Yeah that was a great song." His cousin, who had only ever heard CDs, said "?" It was then I knew that I had become old.

haha, I used to do this.

what the f*ck is a cassette?

+1

I did that!

+1

the tapes always broke after I played them too often :--(

LIKE OMG REMEMBER 8 TRACKS HAHAHA ITS FUNNY TO REMEMBER THOSE TIMES, as in THOSE not THIS

sh*t. I totally had that f*cking Aiwa

me too

GENIS

1 for music

-3

Hahaha...but that's how I did it back then.

i think i did this one time in 1992. then i gots internet. lol u r old. nice site.

+1

I didnt get the internet until about 1999

I was 4 in 1992. You're old.

-1

i was five in 1992, and I didn't get internet that year either

+1

I want to vote 5 but it's not working...damn Firefox.

should be titled "How I pirate music now that I'm 23."

+2

yikes.... i'm fully aware of how gay SP are... yet so f*cking unbelievably entranced in a fuzzy warm regretful hopeful happy nostalgia rush. same thing happens with tonight tonight

brb, FBI.

They had CDs back then...

ok, but there was no way to record onto CDs then... or if there was it was much more expensive and no one did

you sir, are an idiot.

indeed he is.

i tried to make hot new remixes with just the radio and cassettes. they really turned out to be 5 seconds of one song, 2 seconds of another, 7 seconds of another, and so on. i thought my remixes were the sh*t too, now theyre in my basement along with the awful songs i straight out recorded.

+1

CHORD.

i did that too

-1

nostalgic

But did you pirate this Smashing Pumpkins song?

I did this in 1986, I bought the damn CD in 96

+1

Wow, that's exactly how I did it in 1996 too KLASSIC MEMORIEZ

Wow...I miss my old tapes.

I still have mine, from 1986, in a the bottom of a box with my old VHS tapes.

How I pirated music in 2008: Step 5) Turn on the YTMND and wait until you hear a song you like 6) Hit the source button on the internets copy as necessary (continue to repeat steps 5 and 6)

+1

I diggy diggy diggy.

this is quite a discovery

f*cking stupid kids today have it too easy. They get porn at the click of a button. We had to watch it scrambled! Ah, that's why our eyes are better.

this obvious and stupid ytmnd was a good idea kinda. but there wasnt as much retardedness and funniness to make this good. just a lame attempt at being funny.

-4

The Original Way!

nostalgia

I guess this falls into the "It's funny because it's true, so I vote 5!" category. Nostalgic, but not funny.

dont you mean steal/borrow cassettes/radio?

... and we all used to tape movies that were on TV using blank video tapes and a VCR. Seriously, I can't believe a site based solely on the idea of "hey guys remember 12 years ago we used to do that, lol!!!11" can be rated so high.

-1

its okay your secret will be kept alongside that secret printer driver exploit that allowed you to bypass the windows 95 nt login screen

*fist bump* but you forgot the part about calling up the DJs to request certain songs
