Today we welcome the amazing Jenny Tiffany. She makes brand new 80s music and album covers, and sells them on... brand new cassette tapes (and MP3s).
In a world of cloud-controlled products with forced obsolescence, she's my favorite contrarian. Tonight we discuss:
- The divergence between digital creativity and factory control
- WHY people are still attracted to records, tapes, and broadcast television
- What things are out there to satisfy our cravings for new 80s-style content, such as Retro Bowl, Metropolis 1998, Cocteau Twins, and St. Lucia
- The subreddits to join if you crave such goodness
- People focus on little plastic straws and bags, yet 99% of all landfills are HP printers that are now IMPO designed to die within a year
- What YOU can do to stop the massive amount of pollution that comes from making these new throwaway products
- How an update attack trapped a lady in a hot car
Thanks for telling your friends about the show. 80s forever. Analog forever.
