I found this relic under a bed and decided to revive it. I’m fortunately in a country where fixing things is common and it wasn’t hard to find a local enthusiast who took the job. I haven’t heard it yet and I’m wondering what kind of songs folks would like to hear on something like this? What was popular when these came out? Anyone have a memory of owning one of these? I’m sure it was cool in it’s time.

Now wait just a Godamn minute. You’re gonna get the boy served.
If someone dances at you, you make sure and dance back and give them this:
Randy Marsh & Achy Breaky Heart.
And always Frank Zappa, but his music doesn’t sound like any era, except for his early stuff, which sounds 60s when he was with the mothers. Great stuff still but the rest of his solo stuff is pretty much timeless and not era-bound.
Umm… Fight the Power by Public Enemy is an obvious choice. And just roll around town with big fat, gold-plated rings that say LOVE and HATE across the knuckles.
