I used to buy music on cassettes.

I used to go to video stores and rent VHS tapes and video games.

I remember when nobody had a microwave.

My first mobile phone was a flip.

I remember when Donald Trump was ruining upstart sports leagues instead of the world.

I’ve been pretty accepting of all that comes with getting older. Coaching a new round of young athletes every year gives me a decent regular reminder of how Steve_Buscemi_skateboard.jpg I really am.

That being said, what really gets to me is when I discover that an artist or band that I consider myself a fan of not only put out a brand new album one or two years ago that completely escaped my attention, but it’s their third or fourth album since what I thought was their “last” one. Those moments sting a little bit.

Yep, that’s a good one. I think I saw that Alanis Morrissette just dropped a new one recently. I forgot she was even still around.

I appreciate this.

I would add to this discovering that they have developed a sound that is completely shitarse.
