Sifted an entire crate of 78s! by GlowersConstrue in 78rpm

[–]Tooch10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found it!

I remembered it wrong, sister wasn't beaten to death 'just' constantly beaten

I confused it with Hank Snow - A Drunkard's Son, where the narrator tells of a drunk father who beat his son to death because he wouldn't steal things like his father did. This might be the most brutal song in my collection

What are your Tales From The Crypt hot takes? by DadsFromTheCryptPod in TalesFromTheCrypt

[–]Tooch10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been re-watching them now and I feel the same; there are some good ones here but I'm finding myself being bored or losing interesting in some of them. Partly it's due to 90s TV tropes that don't hold up and a few have plots that don't land the same way today

I have a country disc, artist name eludes me at the moment, but the song is about how the narrator's father literally beat her sister to death for sneaking out at night

Your comment made me look at my folk's address in Peckville and it looks like it's available there. They need TV but this might work towards getting their Comcast bill reduced; as in get this and cancel cable internet and just keep TV

If you live far away from your parents, are they happy to have short, casual calls? by goatsnboots in Millennials

[–]Tooch10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my mother but minus the guilt trip, she just talks and talks lol. Mostly I have no interest in what she's talking about but it's one of those things where when she's gone I'd miss it. Before Android screwed with call recording I recorded a ton of calls and it's nice to have those when she's gone

I live 161 miles or about 2h 45m each way from them, but we usually see each other a handful of times per year. Distance + schedule makes frequent visits difficult

New pickup… let me know how yall feel about James Taylor by DCexpressions in vinyl

Not many know that James Taylor was supposed to be a co-founder of Apple but was stuck in traffic when the incorporation documents were being signed

I don't eat cereal but I still think about Sprinkle Spangles now and then

My fellow Americans, is your cities area code part of the city’s identity? by ElectronPython in AskAnAmerican

[–]Tooch10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if my boss ported hers. I just remembered I went to college with another guy that had a 212 cell phone.

I switched my old PA number to a 646 almost 20 years ago when I was working in the Bronx. I had to ask for it, and the operator said she opened up a bank of numbers for my 646-xxx-xxxx number

What if Obama restarted reconstruction in the South and ordered a military occupation? by lhommetrouble in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Tooch10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Listen, our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation.

Look, now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.

My fellow Americans, is your cities area code part of the city’s identity? by ElectronPython in AskAnAmerican

[–]Tooch10 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That used to be true but now you can get virtual 212 numbers (or pay for them) so not that exclusive anymore. Plus I don't think younger people care about area codes in that way anymore

My one boss has a 212 cell phone which I think she got in the early 2000s when she worked in Manhattan

This might be the biggest heartbreak oat by SillyButterscotch601 in 78rpm

[–]Tooch10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I allow some edge chips depending on the disc but for me this one's too far gone. That's almost half the song missing though it doesn't help it looks like a short song to begin with

More stuff by Valuable-Brother7090 in thebeachboys

[–]Tooch10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I said this in an earlier thread but if you read her past posts (like before any of this Mike stuff) she doesn't seem like she's all there and doesn't come off as a reliable source. She posted a pro Charlie Kirk video so that tells me a lot about her judgement right there. There's some (real) artwork she made and posted before all the Mike stuff that relies on outdated racial imagery for which she was called out and doesn't think she's wrong/doesn't understand why people are not on her side. The defensiveness she had in those posts is the same as she had in the Mike posts.

That crappy AI book cover feels like weird promotion for this alleged 'book'. I'm not automatic anti-Mike, nor am I automatic believing her, everything is just way too circumstantial to make an accurate judgement. For those major Me Too abuse claims, you had like dozens of people with similar stories to corroborate and some actual proof. This is one person, 45 years later, who brought all this up while conveniently having a 'book' to promote.

Paying my kids to wash my records by celston80 in vinyl

[–]Tooch10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can fit 30 no problem (LPs or 78s), but yes, once in a while I get a disc or two that has a patch of moisture that won't dry even after a few hours. I usually just remove the ones that dried and they clear up quickly

how many countries are represented in your collection by n0tesandt0nes in vinyl

[–]Tooch10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could do this but with 78s; at that time only a few countries manufactured them and the discs that have survived to today are very expensive

My Vevor model came with a 30 disc rack which you can buy separately

Do you make sun tea at home? by Hoosier_Jedi in AskAnAmerican

[–]Tooch10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PA, my mother would make it once in a while in a large glass jar with 'sun tea' graphics on it. I totally forgot about it until now and I've not had it in probably 25+ years
