˜ apteryx wa: changing our tunes

apteryx wa

changing our tunes

we hit a real low point when we bought the bulworth soundtrack.

not only was it the soundtrack to the movie bulworth, but it was also a promotional tape, which apparently means a tape of samples--about the first 45 to 60 seconds of each song. so just when you found yourself nodding along to that one black eyed peas song, well, the song faded out. done. on to the next 60 second clip.

we'd pretty much given up on tapes altogether when we found a music store in hastings that happens to specialize in cassettes. yay.

there we found and purchased these car-trip classics:

radiohead the bends
bob dylan the freewheelin' bob dylan
neil young harvest
michael jackson thriller
u2 the joshua tree
leonard cohen highlights
smashing pumpkins pisces iscariot
pearl jam ten

road tested, road approved.

  • glad to hear you got some new music. personally, i thought you would be delighted at the nonstop oldies on the NZ radio! i know i would be! :) anyway, nothing like "the bends" to remind you of those great times in Pittsburgh, right dk?
