CDs From When I Was a Kid
Filed under: He has not changed much, has he?
rowing up in the 1990s, I listened to a lot of music. Walkman was a thing back then, Discman came when I was in my early teens. My sister was collecting albums and I mostly “borrowed” (from her shelves) her music, which meant my taste in and exposure to music was heavily influenced by hers.
I am mostly grateful for it.
One thing that I can never forget is that she won many CDs by answering questions on the radio. Sometimes she phoned “too much” and won “two much”, so her little brother (me) phoned instead. I don’t know or cannot recall how many CDs I won this way, but I roughly remember which ones I won.
I listen to one of them right now (Warren G) and it always astounds me that something shipped to me 30 years ago still works impeccably. Stuff manufactured today is very unlikely to be usable or playable in 2056.
