A-ha always was a better band than Duran Duran, and it blew my mind when I went to Europe the first time and found out they never stopped making music.

Media peaked at the flexi disc

Sure, 20 years later you had pack in cds, but nothing topped flipping through a magazine and suddenly there's a playable single you didn't even know was in there when you bought it

Billy and the Boingers is still one of my favorite things

My grandma insisted on keeping those in the basement fridge for us and I swear you'd end up more thirsty after you drank one.

I know they were just a huge melted freeze pop but I hated those things.

I've never understood how American TV channel numbering works/worked. It's all just like "Oh, this new TV can get higher numbers!"

In Europe we had the VHF and UHF spectrum, but there was never any limit to how many channels you could get as long as your TV could receive the spectrum and store the frequencies.

There is only so much space in a spectrum before saturation causes signal bleed.

Wikipedia actually has a decent comparison of how different localities dealt with that

I have spent the last week or so watching China Beach and bawling my eyes out during the back half of season 2. It first aired when I was 5 and I barely remember it aside from the theme and McMurphy's hair, but it's hitting me hard even though I'm not American. Also, I thought Dana Delany was an angel back then, even more so now.

I can only hear Jenny Nicholson when i see the words China Beach anymore

My brother's/my Commodore 64 had a music program called Sid (or maybe Syd) player, and it had a bunch of songs on there. Including that one.

I don't remember why exactly, but I always called that song "axelf" pronounced like "Axe Elf"

SID player, it played .sid files named after the soundchip (Sound Interface Device)
