Yeah I hear you. I did trade tapes in the mid-late 90s, through AMSP and the AOL private room.
I remember when I first got stuff like Purr Snickety, Apathy's Last Kiss etc... the SD stuff, and pre-Gish demos. I was ecstatic. Must have been around 1997, so I was 12ish.
I also remember getting ripped off for "imports" from used record stores before I realized they were just selling bootlegs I could trade for online. The first bootleg I got was some MCIS demos and I remember when I got TAFH and realized the "Wishing You Were" lyrics had morphed into TAFH. Good stuff.
But yeah you're ancient. How old are yas if I may ask?
