1997!!

Why 1997? Well that was the year I got seriously into music and became a sullen angsty teenager that is why.
I had very few friends in the town of Woy Woy on the NSW Central Coast and would watch Recovery every Saturday morning and sit by the radio every night listening to triple J with my fingers at the ready to record the latest track I was into onto a cassette.
I had a very crude catalogue system for each tape. They were all numbered and I had the corresponding track listings typed and printed and filed into a folder.
Sigh. If only I still had that folder.....
A comment on the 1997 musical number above
The Avalanches - El Producto came out in 1997. I only saw them live once at a Sydney Big Day Out and the sound was really bad and they kept on having major technical difficulties. After a few tracks they had to stop the show because nothing was working. Sad times.
