VHS/VCR is back?

Some 'classics' are only available in VHS 💋

There was a VHS version of the Talking Heads concert video Stop Making Sense that has never made it to digital. Same with a version of Urgh a Music War.

Ok, this makes sense. I would still recommend burning these to DVD though. Videotape degrades much faster than DVDs.

And yes I got the lipstick reference.

This is surprising. I can understand why vinyl has been making a comeback, but not VHS tape. The picture quality is hardware-limited to 640x480. What am I missing? Enlighten me please.

Nostalgia😁

Mainly this but the media is more sturdy than a cd/dvd then sometimes the editing is better on some films, oh and you can easily record with tapes.

which were all children's music. Like 8 Barney music, 44 of Teletubbies etc.

Gurinel TV and Kids BOP is pretty decent music in that genre.

So, I've no response to this that is suited for this audience. I'll leave it at that.

This week I found a WKRP type AM station as I travelled between two big cities. The station I was listening to got all static-ee as I was reaching its outter range so I hit the scan button and it stopped on a rock and roll station. It wasn't Johnny Fever or Wolfman Jack playing the songs but it was a happy sounding DJ who played Steppenwolf, Bad Company and other 70's classics most people have forgotten about.

It was in a place where giant cow farms lined the highway. The speed limit was 60 and most drove 50-55 mph. There was a pizza place and a farm supply store and an occasional house along the way. Maybe that's what prompted the record store dream. I wanted to stop at the pizza place but had to be back in the city for an appointment so I kept driving.

@bykfixer Exactly how big were these giant cows?

Gave away all my VHS & audio cassette library, I'm totally committed to CD/DVD but was never tempted by Blu-Ray in the slightest 🤣

Digital streaming is convenient but my classic collection has more variety 👍

Well....

As it turns out, this guy is not a vegan afterall.

Canceled cable 10 years ago at least. I download whatever movies I want. Got them on multiple hard drives, thumb drives and tablets. I lost interest in Hulu and refuse to give money to wokeflix.
500 gb micro SD holds a lot of movies!
