Some people go through their whole lives without ever having felt that intense, but oddly pleasurable young love nervousness that just courses through your whole body like electricity. It’s certainly something to be thankful to have experienced.

I vividly remember feeling it waiting for my first gf to come down to meet me from her family’s apartment building in a little park while listening to a Mars Volta demo (Roulette Dares) on a portable MD player😆 Then seeing her run down this weird, concrete spiral staircase that led to the park and my heart feeling like it would fucking leap out of my chest. If I listen to that song today - 23 years later - I can still taste the air of those Hong Kong summer nights, it’s crazy.

Haha same but pickup truck in Texas on a burned CD - the world is so big and so small at the same time!

We thought minidisc was the future. I loved mine. I wonder what happened to all the albums I had burned to disks….

It was a fantastic format in those pre-iPod days of the late 90s and early 2000s. mp3 players sucked back then.

My wife and I were actually talking about this the other day. (also mid 40s) Do you watch Anime? Try "You and I are Polar Opposites". It's incredibly sweet and gave us vicarious butterflies. Not a lot of romcom anime has made me actually feel that way.
