Did go in the loft. Brought down a big stack of mid 1990s Melody Makers, see if they help with my gig history at all. And there were minidiscs! Who knew I had so many?
And here is the Minidisc player. MD Walkman digital recording no less.
And it works! I tried it with a couple of AA batteries, and no, but there is an AC adapter too and it works off that. There was a disc in it, so tried that first, it's Science And Nature by The Bluetones. I don't remember hearing it before, let along owning it. There's quite an archive of content to go through here. Surely mostly just albums that I already own but maybe not. I do not remember having so many minidiscs. I wonder if you can still buy them? Of course on ebay you can. Here's someone selling the same set up I have, just in case you want to be as cool as me. Would give you hours of fun in the forthcoming apocalypse, when all the spotify goes off 1.
I haven't actually done my radio homework yet, but I have got some friends interested in one of these Bajeton 9000 radios 2. I think I will probably plough through these Melody Makers and minidiscs first. There's surely a David Devant bootleg in here somewhere, hopefully with some genuine 1996 between song chat between me and my friends.
- I don't use spotify.
- Which it turns out is an unbadged Radtel RT-920. Nope no idea what that is.
Sunny + a moderate breeze, 3 - 9℃.
