@sjvn is this an original einsturzende neubeuten cassette single?
Show threadMattiasAug 30, 2023
@sjvn @amoshiashwili Really hope so!

@amoshiashwili @sjvn Huzzah - came here to make a similar joke, a great Neubauten song!

@amoshiashwili @sjvn Thats what you get when you put a C64 Datasette in your normal tape deck.

That is the version with the “clean” lyrics.

@sjvn
Did you play both sides?
Show threadSentry23Aug 30, 2023
@sjvn you should have gotten the amyl nitrate version then.

@sjvn
admit the truth: if you didn't have a dirty mind you wouldn't have bought anything by Head Cleaner.
Show threadAlexanderMarsAug 30, 2023
@sjvn back in the day we used to repack our mixtapes into children’s “story time” cassettes. Think Sesame Street adventure cassette with Bay Area Hip Hop, or GI Joe with some Punk on it. That head cleaner would’ve made a good home for some Parker/Davis bebop.

@AlexanderMars @sjvn YOURE the reason my sleeping beauty tape ended how tiny busy bee on it 🤣

@sjvn i dunno, their early stuff was alright. Before they sold out.

@sjvn Still better than Nickelback.

@sjvn at last a #joke for old people on Mastodon 😂!
Show threadGreg. Just Greg…Aug 30, 2023
@sjvn True, but on the bright side, everything sounds better after playing that one…
Show threadHannekeAug 30, 2023
@sjvn @briankrebs My first thought was that it was some kind of meditation tape 🥲
Show threadMichelletimeAug 30, 2023
@sjvn but best girlfriend ever.
Show threadSimon KowalewskiAug 30, 2023
@sjvn Their new album "Rainbow" is much better than "Play Both Sides", try listening to that one first.
Show threadGeeden_Of_ArdenAug 30, 2023
@sjvn They weren't bad when they opened for Canned Air, but yeah, everything they do is kinda "samey".
Show threadMcNullaAug 30, 2023
@sjvn
I’d play that before some others
Show threadMark Wyner Won’t Comply Aug 30, 2023
@sjvn the audacity of the band to demand that you play both sides.
Show threadThomas LindnerAug 30, 2023
@sjvn Aber immerhin so gut, dass die deutsche Band "Reinigungskassette" einige ihrer Titel gecovert hat!
Show threadSham 🏳️‍🌈Aug 30, 2023

@sjvn Can't be worse than these Vogel guys. This is easily the worst 45 I've ever heard.

Though I must admit, it sounded pretty "warm."

Show threadCarstenAug 31, 2023
@shammers @sjvn you are playing it too slow!! 8500 rpm
Show threadEricka SimoneAug 30, 2023
@sjvn Iont know. Their avant-garde noise album went pretty hard. Nothing sounded the same after that. 🤣
Show threadWolfie RankinAug 30, 2023
@sjvn Great porno though.
Show thread&yAug 30, 2023

@sjvn

This band also sucks, but you’re right that Head Cleaner is worse.

Show threadJack Yan (甄爵恩)Aug 30, 2023
@sjvn They were consistent though, Iʼll give them that.

@sjvn
Yeah man, played with those dudes back in '69. Great guys to party and jam with, but the name was just a bit too far out, even for it's time.

@sjvn But it sold millions!!

Von denen hatte ich auch ne Kassette.

@sjvn but 'Play Both Sides' was a huge bestseller, most people I knew had a copy.

@sjvn lol I thought at first that this was a post suggesting more people think critically about stuff they read online lol

Show threadDavin McCallAug 30, 2023
@sjvn "Play Both Sides" was definitely their best album, though
Show threadSteve's PlaceAug 30, 2023
@sjvn Sure, but everybody had one of their cassettes. An underground hit.

@sjvn

Give it to Trump. He might be attracted by its orangeness, and maybe - just maybe - follow its instructions.
We could live in hope.

@sjvn Now I wanna do a throwback project just to call it that!

@sjvn did you play both sides? - second side is much better
