About the teeth - it was once common for people to have all of their teeth removed at one time for prophylactic and cosmetic reasons, and replace them with dentures. I suppose the reasoning was that it would cost far less in the long term than routine, painful dental treatment. I also wonder if the uncle had Congestive Heart Failure, and that's why he would have been hospitalized for the weight gain. Thanks for the fascinating listen into other people's lives! It's like reading old postcards.
I bet when Uncle Dougie recorded himself singing he never once thought he'd be on a globe-spanning interconnected information network with over 250,000 people listening to him. With one recording he became a rockstar.
hearing those old family recordings is so interesting. its like a weird window into mundane history, but at the same time it feels both invasive and intimate. very cool

Those flashback moments made me realize how much I'm addicted to this channel :) Amazing that you are already influencing artists with the stuff you show. Congratulations, and I really do hope you haven't even thought about stop making these :)
Again, a marvelous video. I can`t imagine a fulfilled life without Techmoan anymore ;-). Thanks a lot for featuring PROGRESSICA (the endless loop cassette) on behalf of all bandmembers. That was great!
There needs, needs, NEEDS to be a dedicated channel to old mail-in relay tapes people find of families and such, communicating back and forth with eachother. It's just so fascinating to hear the voices from the past, discussing their lives as though they're still here with us. It's so enduring!
Historically it would have been quite common for women particularly to have all their real teeth removed in adulthood, simply because it avoided all the expected future dental problems. They would have been proud to wear dentures instead. Having dental problems fixed as they occurred was regarded as a luxury only the very rich could have afforded, and refined sugar was widely available and used while fluoride toothpastes and the regimen of regular brushing were unheard of so most adults would have problems by middle age. It's funny how in a lifetime something can go from being expected to being extraordinary, or vice versa.
ISTR that people who were sent out to non-European countries - to build the British Empire or whatever - would routinely have all their teeth removed because there were no dentists where they were going.
I had a stationary DCC-deck that I bought super cheap on sale in he mid 1990s'. I didn't use it much for DCC, only bought one blank to test it out. But it was the best deck for analogue cassettes I ever had. All my old cassettes sounded better than ever, and it had super-fast search and track handling from the remote, and many handy functions. It was missing analogue recording, otherwise it was like a high end cassette-deck, for almost no money. I actually sold it for more than I bought it for. So, tanks for that handy invention Philips!
Another highly enjoyable video. Is it strange that I find the home recordings particularly fascinating? Even if they're just about teeth and songs about escaping burning buildings.
I'm the same... I guess it is because even if the people are no longer with us they live on in some other way. I was just thinking what it would be like to hear my grandfather on a cassette despite the fact he has been dead 40 years... would be really spooky!
It's almost magical to find tape that people recorded decades ago. You never know what might be on there and it's like a time capsule to me. A snapshot of a moment in time and, in many cases, you are hearing voices of people who are no longer alive. I've done a couple of videos where I opened up boxes of job lot cassettes I bought on ebay. I love playing them and finding out what's on them. I've found a few extraordinary things! In my most recent unboxing a few days ago, one of the tapes was a recording of a lady's tarot card reading. Really bizarre yet a fascinating listen.

Not surprised you influenced all those talented people, regardless of your modesty I think you are quite a talent yourself. I'm fascinated with all your content, not just the wonderful historical archiving of little known tech and formats. Honestly, I get more excited about seeing a Techmoan UA-cam notification than any other.
I remember the first video of yours that I watched years ago about that portable Korg beat machine where you admitted that you don't have much talent when it comes to making music. Now you're making waves through the music industry :D Love your videos. They never sit long in the queue.
Ahh, the memories. The radio station I was working at in 1983 (CKX in Brandon, Manitoba) had several Elcasette decks being used in the newsroom for recording interviews and playing back clips during newscasts. It's the only place I've ever encountered them until Techmoan's videos. Thanks for the memories!
@11:11 Crash diet from 198 lb (89kg) with (thanks to the excellent audio) the sound of a zippo lighter striking up a cigarette. This tech-centric channel has become a prime resource for studying social-history. Have a great weekend Mat. 👍👍👍
It really is an epidemic. It's time they found a reason than simply blaming people for eating too much. People do eat too much but why the sea change across whole populations?
+Chaos Corner I'd guess it's a combination of bad stuff in convenience/cheap foods coupled with lack of exercise/over dependence on cars. I'm stuck with the former (My income's too low to be able to afford healthy food) and my insides are shot to Brexit as a result...But having to get around everywhere by bike at least means my weight stays low. Swap the bike for a car, and I'd be yet another addition to the obesity epedemic. :-o
Influenced by the recordings of the past, you've now influenced the recordings of the present and future. Bravo, man. That's some proof that you've gained a following!
In the 60s I was huge with Tape Friends International, had a great time. Fellow at Ferrograph in Newcastle, Teacher in Utah, two Lunatics in New York and a Kiwi plus others. You brought back great memories. Love your work.
I had the idea of making one of these endless loop tapes in 1980. Gave it to our school bus driver who was always accepting tapes from us and it played the same 40 second loop for 3/4 of an hour while the school bus made its round, picking up kids. Must I say that the driver wasn't pleased, although he did play it until the end of the tour.
I'm glad you're making these videos about weird tape formats, as a HUGE cassette tape lover, lazy noise artist and record label owner I'm happy to learn about all these dead, obsolete and stupid formats I might want to release something on some day.
that ElCasette album looks FANTASTIC, absolutely professional. I was delighted to be able to identify them when our local artist's repurposing supply shoppe when I saw them there after your earlier video
Wonderful News about your player, and with a Surprise Inside! How Nice of Dr. DCC.. I Knew these Equipment Creators Must Listen in. You sure add to Product's Pizzazz. Massive Collection, Enthusiasm about each item, loads of research, a few repairs included, not to mention your 'Review Crew' pop-ins adding their input, Shows True Desire. You Rule ~ Thanks ~ *
Thanks Matt, another great video - I've just ordered the Jazz Spastiks album (right up my alley). Remember, if you don't like the music - what is the point of buying great gear to listen to it on. Regards, Kelvin
You are what ancient Romans and Greeks valued. A good orator. Albeit a modern one. Another great video. Please make more of these. Here's to good luck on finding such rare finds.
I always love hearing voices from the past! Reminds me of when me and my brothers used to good around on our portable cassette player! We told elementary level jokes and did imitations of cartoon characters (jokes and impressions were awful!!!).
Love finding those old recordings; a bit like finding old photographs in antique shops. A little piece of that person lives on long after they're gone.
Just wonderful, Techmoan. Loved it. Cool to see the creative pursuits inspired by your videos. I'm about to graduate university; your patreon is on my list. Been watching for years now. Keep it up.
Ha ha, excellent! Mat, I propose a new Bachelor's degree: Audio/Visual Technology Historian. You already have that, I'm merely pointing out the need for a graduate program.
Well done. Whatt an excellent video. So many different formats in one video. Excellent job. I love these old audio format videos that you produce. Keep up the good work. This is by far my favorite UA-cam channel.
mystica5551212-subs The beginning verse is actually cool, I should look it up. My next door neighbor had a few of them and I really hated it, but now I can finally appreciate the cheese whiz.
I picked up a Sony M-570V portable Dictaphone for 3.50 at my local thrift store. It's the only device I've ever seen in person that takes micro cassettes. The going price for it on eBay is about fifty-times what I paid for it, so i guess you could say I'm happy with my purchase. This channel has me buying all kinds of cool stuff that I would've otherwise missed. I'm going back tomorrow to get the full size recorder that was sitting next to it on the shelf. Cheers.
Very interesting hearing that brief speech about the school visit to Access, my Mum worked there for many years from the mid eighties onwards till she retired not many years ago. My brother still works there today although they've moved offices and changed names multiple times since.
Love your channel. It's so interesting and makes me nostalgic for the old days. Often I talk to my brother about the devices we had back in the day. I had a MiniDisk with me when I was in Iraq in 2004, and he sent me about 15 cassettes to listen to. Amazing stuff. One concern, you stated that you were showing one audio device but the recording wasn't from that. Of course one must edit the work, and I don't fault you for that, however I hope you don't resort to stock footage of devices when demonstrating audio for us. Takes a bit away from what is otherwise a great channel and experience. All the best to your great channel!
I have an EL-7 Elcaset and one of Sony's original Demo tapes (which is fantastic). It's fab to see the new release Elcaset tape - what a great production. I agree the artwork and design is spot-on. Elcaset definitely was the best audio format there never quite was.
There were Headphones with a builtin Radio antenna? So you can look like the biggest and weirdest nerd ever having a 20cm antenna sticking out of your head? Omg i need them!!!

Back in the early 2000s I used to have an FM and AM radio housed in an earbud (about the size of a bluetooth headset) and I remember getting it from MacFrugals or a 7 Eleven. It was cool since I could listen to radio in school 'cuz it was so small

I hope that this won't get lost in this sea of comments, but I was wondering if you could make a video on your stella philips machine (the one used for the 3" reel playback). I have one of those at home, and of course the rubber bands have perished. Did you have to get yours replaced, and was there anything else wrong with it when you got it? Thanks.
Man, I feel so old after watching this as the Sony products showed here were bought by my late grandfather after returning from his work abroad. He's a Sony fan,after all.
Also you may want to have an eBay search saved for "micro cassette" in addition to "stereo micro cassette" so you can find the item even if the seller doesn't put stereo in the listing. The best deals come from people who don't fully know what they have, or who have listings that get poor viewership because of inadequate titles.
My grandma got her teeth pulled out when she was like 22? My grandpa had supposedly said "I'm not paying to take care of that" and demanded she get dentures. Can you imagine?
Several years ago, at an auction I bought a box of tapes. In that box of tapes, was several of those mailers. Apparently they were sending back and forth tapes to a relative who was in Vietnam, unfortunately the plastic in those mailers had become so old and brittle they literally disintegrated, pretty neat.

About the teeth - it was once common for people to have all of their teeth removed at one time for prophylactic and cosmetic reasons, and replace them with dentures. I suppose the reasoning was that it would cost far less in the long term than routine, painful dental treatment.

Uncle Dougy might hit you up with a copyright claim!
He's probably either dead or very old! lol
Big big BIG thumbs up for the Jazz Spastiks - who are floating my boat as I type this. Thank you so much for putting me onto them!
Techmoan also name checked People Under The Stairs, they are right up with those.
The singing part at 13:01 made me laugh way more than it should have.
I gave it a second listen, and wouldn't you know it, I cracked up at it that time 😂

Such a delightful selection of rare media. Always loved your videos friend.
Splendid again TM I think you have started something here! .... Your tempting me to open a sealed 1983 chrome tape for a delightful sniff!
LOVE the Jazz Spastics - thanks for flagging them up! Would never have heard it otherwise :D
Jazz Spastiks are sooo coool !
Superb video as always - especially when the humanity comes beaming from inside the machines.
WOW. It is amazing to me that you have those family memories! Holy heck!
Your videos are always great. But this one had an extra dose of awesome. It really made me smile several times. Thanks.
I hope that this won't get lost in this sea of comments, but I was wondering if you could make a video on your stella philips machine (the one used for the 3" reel playback). I have one of those at home, and of course the rubber bands have perished. Did you have to get yours replaced, and was there anything else wrong with it when you got it? Thanks.
It worked fine when I bought it - although it still needs a good clean.
Man, I feel so old after watching this as the Sony products showed here were bought by my late grandfather after returning from his work abroad. He's a Sony fan,after all.
I kinda want a pair of those headphones with the built in cassette player.
awesome to see that you are also a real hip hop fan! great vid as always
Great to see your work is changing the world of hip hop! As always excellent video. thanks

For all those Elcaset owners out there.
Awesome, as always. I love archive bits of everyday life from years past. Fascinating !
Also you may want to have an eBay search saved for "micro cassette" in addition to "stereo micro cassette" so you can find the item even if the seller doesn't put stereo in the listing. The best deals come from people who don't fully know what they have, or who have listings that get poor viewership because of inadequate titles.
I also love vintage audio stuff like the old cassettes and all also am a long time subscriber to your channel
My grandma got her teeth pulled out when she was like 22? My grandpa had supposedly said "I'm not paying to take care of that" and demanded she get dentures. Can you imagine?
I love the idea of putting out an album on elcaset. I have a friend who's a huge fan of my music and outdated music formats.
Several years ago, at an auction I bought a box of tapes. In that box of tapes, was several of those mailers. Apparently they were sending back and forth tapes to a relative who was in Vietnam, unfortunately the plastic in those mailers had become so old and brittle they literally disintegrated, pretty neat.
