I send shit e-mails and phone calls to 97.7
all the time asking them to play UFO.
Uncultured swine, some classic radio station.
Ask for Ian Hunter and you get Mott the Poophole.
Thats when I start telling them that Thin Lizzie
Has more then 2 songs, and that they should throw all those *best of* CD's away.

warm up was "Sylvester"........... [img]eek.gif[/img]
don't know what happened to all my 8-Tracks, but I heard there are collectors for them out there, too~
If you already own something.... but you didn't remember that you still had it... is it still a HAUL??
Maybe a Re-Haul?!?!?!? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Anyways..... was at my Dad's house and we were going through some of my old boxes of stuff and we found my 8-Track based 2XL!!!!
I can't remember if It's supposed to open for batteries, or I'm missing the power plug, but it still looks in good shape.

Of course, being the kind of person who can't leave well enough alone, I usually was playing my Ted Nugent or Kiss 8-Tracks in it instead of the trivia questions. [img]smile.gif[/img]

the other thing you'll see is a mini-movie projector (kinda like a viewmaster) but the yellow carts have flip movies in them!!!! There was also the one that has a lightbulb and plugs into the wall there!!!!
COOL 8 tracks i remember those [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Ahhh the days of good old 8track players, carring those big ass cases full of them in my car.
I hear collecters pay high dollar for certain 8 tracks.
Cool find Baimun!!
i just offed my 2-xl and carts on ebay about 2 weeks ago for a surprisingly good price.
Cassette or 8Track version?
ah I remember those little camera like things that played the cartoons! those were pretty cool!
i like the 8tack one better than mine

8-track...just like the one u have.
I also found an envelope that was filled with pics that I had taken at concerts that I'd been to. Often times I had really good seats because I was friends with a guy who was a ticket outlet....
... Kiss, Dokken, Tesla, Def Leppard, and a bunch of other hair bands from the 80's... but when I tell people that I liked Motley Crue before they were signed on a major lable, they often don't believe me.
My scanner is at work but I found two 35mm pics I got from one of their concerts....

As you can tell from the tape-pinstriped instruments and white sheet behind the drum riser, this was before Electra stepped in to sign them for their Too Fast For Love album. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Cool baimun, did you go see them at the roxie a go- go or what ever that place was called.
I love what Dave Mustaine called glam Rock
Gay-LA-Music. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Burke.... I've gone to Satellite radio and I'll never go back (unless they start playing commercials.)
$10 a month, 150 stations, and no commercials.
I've been hearing stuff on the radio and thinking "Oh wow... I forgot about that band..." [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I had an 8 track PLUS and adapter you inserted to play normal tapes. I think there is still a "Chicago" tape somewhere...."If you leave me know...."
moony, what satellite service do you go through?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, 150 stations but you are stuck in one Heavy Metal oneQuote:

MM... the Sirius unit has buttons and knobs and all kinds of stuff....
You could either allow me to take my eyes off the road to play with the radio while going 70 on the New Jersey Highway system, oooorrr......
... I could get everyone to their respective locations in one piece. [img]wink.gif[/img]

[img]tongue.gif[/img]
Show him what's behind door number three, Johnny....
He gettttsss...... TO RIDE IN THE TRUNK!!!
Yes, why just ride in style, when you can ride in SOPRANO STYLE!!! Yes, you and a friend will be whisked to a deserted alley, beat with aluminum baseball bats, and shoved in the trunk of an American Luxury car... where you'll get a scenic view of the taillights while being taken to your FINAL DESTINATION.
Where's that? Oh we can't tell you that.... the investigators wouldn't want us to do ALL their work for them. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
