Thursday Thirteen #3
(Yes, that's me, circa 1988, age 20.)
One of the more popular ideas on my original Thursday Thirteen post, 13 Ideas for Future Thursday Thirteen Lists, was a list of music that I owned in the '80s.
This turned out to be a lot harder to come up with than I expected. I thought I'd just have to find my old tape case and start typing. Evidently, though, I purged my collection at some point in the late '90s.
(What the hell was I thinking?!?)
So, this list comes from mostly from memory, with a little help from the few tapes that I kept, and some tapes in Shrike's collection that I remember owning as well, but most of hers are a little newer than that.
(Hmm, now there's another possible future list: 13 Cassette Tapes That Shrike Owned in the '90s.)
So, after all that, here it is:

I owned Tracy Chapman, the Police and Prince as well. I also listened to Rough Trade and Supertramp. Thanks for the memories!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about words that begin with the letter Z this time round.
Love the list! Number 13 is hilarious! I remember those days! Growing up sucks!
ReplyDeleteI used to have hundreds, if not over a thousand, tapes! I also purged them sometime years ago, and thought of all the money I'd spent on them... and winced. A lot.

Christine - I read your "letter Z" list - I think about 12 of those words were new to me!
ReplyDeleteToni - Hee hee, and I was such a rebel to actually write that title on the tape!
Amelia - I really wish I'd kept mine, but alot were warped, etc, and wouldn't play right anymore. At least most were bootlegged from friends, so I didn't spend too much money on them!
