To sprint across the room and clumsily stab at the Record button.

The latest entry in McSwys Open Letter series is mainly a "She Talks to Angels" dissection, but the first bit about recording songs off the radio is a fun Delorean ride back to pre-right-clickety action. I mean, seriously: recording songs off the radio! You had to depress buttons and try to get the timing right.

A radio station would play, say, the new White Lion single, and you couldn't get it anywhere else. The album was not out yet! You had to wait a few more weeks before making the trek to Turtle's to buy the tape (or cd in glorious, eco-unfriendly longbox).
