there's so many tapes/rekkids i have that are damaged but i keep listening to them - to the point that when i hear a proper version i go "wha? that aint right, its supposed to skip there"

my cassette copy of master of puppets has a slur at the start and i always assumed that was the way the song went. it aint apparently

I kinda liked it when that happened. Music'd get all slow and trippy.

But there was always that bit of sad, knowing that the batteries were about to give up the ghost, and I wasn't getting paid for another six days.
