Twitter has some pretty interesting topics that it will randomly recommend for me sometimes. Iām not one of those who believe that Facebook and Twitter eavesdrop or record your conversations. With the information we freely give them, they donāt need to do that. But it is almost scary how both services know the type of thing I might be interested in reading. Itās as if Twitter knows Iāve just binge-watched season 3 ofĀ Stranger ThingsĀ and have super strong feelings of nostalgia for the 1980s right nowā¦ For example, just the other day I got this gem of a recommendation under the āFor youā section:
Yes, I remember the days of being online in 1987. But I didnāt spill a goldfish bowl, carry my computer under my arm while riding on a motorcycle, or even have to deal with a guitar neck seemingly poking out of a Jeep, behind a girl who is somehow talking on a corded phone?
Instead, I wasted a lot of time goofing around with programs likeĀ Perfect SoundĀ andĀ Deluxe Music Construction SetĀ for the Amiga. And once in a while, you get something that looks an awful lot like what you see below:
Some people may ask āJason, why didnāt you just upload this video to YouTube?ā Well, some people, I have an answer. This video has about half a dozen (crap quality) samples from 1980s pop songs, and I didnāt really feel like having YouTubeās āAmazing Content Verificatorāā¢ going beep boop beepĀ all over my upload.
Anyway, enjoy this blast from the past. Sorry about the audio quality. I was trying to be quiet. š
A couple of highlights:
06:35 ā Listen to what happens when bored kids play with answering machines
22:19 ā Listen to the long lost hit āBabepulsive.ā Donāt ask.
