Unlucky Birth Time, II

Along with the timing of my birth being unlucky for me when it came to sex and drugs and social security, it was also the worst possible time to be a music fan equipment-wise. Records sounded better but weren't super convenient to play, while the compact discs that came later were super-convenient to play but the sound quality wasn't usually as good as records and in between records & cds was the cassette tape, which just so happened to reign supreme the second I came of age to spend money on my own music, which of course I did on cassette tapes which were the perfect mix of terrible: they combined the inconvenience of playing record albums along with the shittier sound of compact discs except they were much, MUCH more inconvenient to play and sounded much, MUCH shittier, so. 🤷‍♂️
