My first CD

A little educational moment on Chase’s life:

So growing up as a kid I had the opportunity to see a lot of changes in technology.

I remember when we had our first computer, and we upgraded our hard drive from half a gig to 6 gigs, and I thought that would last forever (these days we have more ram than those first computers had in hard drive space…)

I also remember when cassette tapes were big time. And when you heard your favorite song on the radio, it was a lucky day if you had a cassette tape ready to record it in the tape player (after a while, you would end up with a pretty killer mix =) ).

They had two types of floppy drives. The a:\ drive and the b:\ drive (the bigger floppy disks that were flimsy).

Yes, these were the days of the Oregon trail, the original Sim City, and Nintendo/Super Nintendo.

I remember spending hours playing with Ninja Turtles Action figures and night games like capture the flag, kick the can, and ghost in the graveyard.

But back on topic:

CD’s

First, let me explain that I grew up listening to oldies, and I loved it. The classics like the Beatles and beach boys were some of the favs. But I of course started to listen to other music and appreciate the other amazing tunes out there.

Well, when CDs got huge (for obvious reasons) and the first CD I ever bought was this one:

That’s right =) They Might Be Giants. Where did that come from you ask?
If you’re asking that, then you probably never had the joy of appreciate They Might Be Giants.

Its one of those bands that enjoyed being unique and when I bought this CD, I thought it was great.

I realize this kind of music is far from main stream, and many of you probably don’t like them, but it happens to be the first CD I bought, and I stand by it :)

As an added bonus, here are a couple of the music videos they put together on one of the cartoons I watched as a kid (you may need to pause the music playing on the side to hear the music in the video) :
