    Found media was how we discovered music back then (and porn). The radio certainly didn’t play anything good unless you happened to live in a major city. Although this introduction to Green Day I think came to me from Columbia House.

    My memorable discoveries:

    AC/DC - clear cassette in the park. Only marked with the band name ‘DC’ as it has rained and washed away most of the handwritten ink.

    Marilyn Manson - white cassette labeled Spooky Kids with a sharpie, didn’t realize it was early Manson until years later

    Tool - CD had just a pig and a fork, everything else was worn off
