That was my nickname in college
I had a collection of their music videos on VHS too.
Oh don’t get me started… they started their debut on Floppy Diskettes.
Oh yes, this is one of the places you can post it where people will remember what it is.
That’s the cheap kind that ruined your heads. The good head cleaner had a little hole near the spool to drip isopropyl alcohol onto the cleaning tape.
Shampoo branding was wild in the 90s
Got their CD when it first came out. The weirdest track ran along a ring of little brush tufts coming out of the CD surface. This band had some serious experimentalism happening.
The hidden tracks were the best!
They were bad, but they made all the other bands sound great!
“How the hell am I supposed to clean my head with this?”
You stick it in one of the little toothy holes. It’s a “ribbed for your pleasure” kind of deal.
This was the good kind. The gear moved the head cleaner back and forth like a brush.
IMO these are terrible, a qtip and some ipa work wonders. These usually cawe with some kind of ipa or acetone concoction that was way too aggressive and could damage your heads. Learned that the hard way
I used stout, it worked fine.
Why would you use beer to clean something? Strange.
Isopropyl alcohol LMAO
Lol. Pretty sure they meant IA. Not sure isopropyl is supposed to be shortened to two letters.
I’ve always heard and seen it as ipa, probably because ia is too short, and could be misinterpreted.
From what I recall Play Both Sides was their only album, but virtually everyone had a copy so they must have been pretty good!
That’s what you get from a one-hit-wonder. One Album tops and that’s it.
And even now they don’t get that. You listen to that one song that you kinda like then their album flops.
I think the leader started another group called Head Demagnetizer. Really loud, too!
VCR Head Cleaner is great, but you’ve got to get it from the adult shop. Definitely get you open to bangin’ tunes!
Kind of sucks that my Commodore 1541 floppy drive (5.25" floppies) is giving me read/write errors, and I have no idea where I put my head cleaner floppy long ago. (Have to rely on SD2IEC on my Commodore 64, and it’s not compatible with some turbo loaders or other programs that do weird drive magic.) And, of course, while I might run into head cleaner tapes on specialty shops, good luck running into 5.25" cleaner floppies these days.
