When I talk these days, I mostly hear my dad, because our voices now sound a little similar. But occasionally I hear me say something that he would say, and it's very eerie.

1987 seems like a key year for me, too. There's a part of me that thinks of the world as "before" and "after" that year, in a lot of ways.

I wish I still had my tapes from when I was a kid. I lost some, my brothers took and recorded over others, and I was not as good at thinking forward, with stuff like that.

I used to make fake radio shows, where I would record a DJ's show, and then replace the Voice Overs with my own. I wish I had those, more than anything.

The artist Porest recently posted nine tracks, culled from his childhood tapes that he recorded in 1976 / 1977. Apparently he would make up his own songs... and now the world can hear them.

My favorite line from the Porest website, about his tape from 1976:

"Also featured is one of the earliest recorded 'punk' songs ever recorded in the United States. 'Everybody BROKEN' was recorded straight-to-cassette and sung while violently straddling a rocking horse in early September of 1976 – well ahead of the competition. This track existed solely in the rumor realm for decades, until now – settling the disputes over Porest being one of the first to compose and record in the genre."

I was 22 in February 1987 and still working at Screw magazine. I did a radio show at WFMU on Friday night 9-midnight IIRC.

I have thought about doing a show of the music I actually listened to as a kid, and show the evolution until I start shopping for my own records. Haven't finished it, but there's a beginning playlist somewhere...

I've only worked in a couple record stores, but it was always the job I've dreamed of. Writing for a magazine is probably the other. (Well, writing in general.)

I happened to run into one of the women who was in the Disco band, "Frantique," who had a hit with, "Strut Your Funky Stuff." I recorded some oral history with her, just to make sure her story didn't just disappear.

I'm self-conscious about revealing too much about my employment there, ya know. It was a pornographic publication even though they had great covers drawn by great cartoonists like Ken Weiner, Kaz, Bruce Carleton, etc.

Austin Rich:

1987 was all about reading "Green Lantern" comics, watching, "Max Headroom," and borrowing my mom's "Rolling Stone" magazines to try and learn more about music. We had a VCR, so I would just record all sorts of TV that was after my bedtime, and watch it in the afternoon the next day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:49pm
Krys O.:

I didn't own a TV in 1987. I think I broke down in 1988 and got one. I'd gone for about 3-4 years without a TV.

Some of those synths you can get down to the month, with the sound. They are just so tied to certain bands and eras.

My friends and family all had televisions. I was given some newsletters from WFMU dj Val Sebastiano who also didn't watch television. Sadly Val died of AIDS in 1993. He was a sweetheart.

Val made a Mummer outfit once:
