[@markkupartanen9583]

I could not find any information about the missing smell receptors.

[@childoferna]

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.

[@4KbShort]

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.

[@DRDCC]

Thanks again, for another great video. Proud to be of service and refurbishing your player.

[@runrin_]

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

[@NYL478]

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!

[@JayDeeezz]

Techmoan also name checked People Under The Stairs, they are right up with those.

[@LukeWarm05]

Careful! Uncle Dougy might hit you up with a copyright claim!

[@NicMG]

He's probably either dead or very old! lol

[@Kaeltis]

The singing part at 13:01 made me laugh way more than it should have.

[@trendmassacre8423]

I gave it a second listen, and wouldn't you know it, I cracked up at it that time 😂

[@juergenbernhard5442]

Uncle Dougy really made my evening! Thanks so much for always surprising us with rare, interesting and mostly really fun tech.

[@dfc99nyc]

The audio tape of the lady with the bad teeth was the best. And Long Live Uncle Dougie!

[@JohnEdwardBerry]

How hasn't this bloke got 10 million followers, The best KZbinr and KZbin channel.

[@spjewkes]

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.

[@mipmipmipmipmip]

The trip to the midlands bank must have been mesmerizing, so sad the tape didn’t include a copy of the highly entertaining organization chart!

[@daniluvsuall]

They're a complete snapshot into the past, that's what I love them. Ordinary lives, not the media.. which is what we do usually see.

[@neilloughran4437]

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!

[@alanburns538]

Anyone who likes old found recordings on reel-to-reel would absolutely love one of my favourite blogs: inches-per-second.blogspot.co.uk/

[@tialaramex]

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.

[@peterkendell5214]

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.

[@MattHayesVinyl]

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.

[@pd1jdw630]

They put him on a crash diet, and you hear a zippo lighter closing.

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 :)

[@drumstudio1]

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!

[@Absquatula]

They say losing one of your senses makes the others stronger. I'd say the power went to your ears.

[@JazzSpastiks]

Yeah!! Big thanks for showing the albums!

[@DominoMiahGames]

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!

[@A7exandersca7es]

If everyone in the UK over 198 lbs went into hospital, I think there would be more of the population in hospital than out.

[@chaos.corner]

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?

[@ddragon8154]

+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

[@1L6E6VHF]

Many Americans would be admitted to a hospital, which itself is in a hospital!

[@jeenkzk5919]

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!!!).

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 KZbin notification than any other.

[@mgscheue]

That Clockwork Orange prop replica is amazing. Especially impressed someone would put that kind of effort into something for such a limited market.

[@mtssvnsn]

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!

[@julietcarnell2251]

You should add an Uncle Dougy puppet :)

[@murf69]

The Jazz Spastiks are great, glad I found them.

A new Techmoan video. What a treat on a Monday morning. How I wish I’d kept my JVC Micro cassette deck and Sony micro cassette walkman!

[@pileofstuff]

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!

[@RobCamp-rmc_0]

Jazz Spastiks sound rad as heck, the bit you demo'd makes me think of the Jurassic Five track, "Swing Set". Rad as heck.

[@fredrikmontelius5215]

Love that player. My DCC player sounded great. It obviously had good analog filters at the output.

[@radicalfunkyfresh]

Thanks for another great video and thank you for introducing me to Jazz Spastics! They're Great!

[@Headsign]

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.

[@SpamMouse]

@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. 👍👍👍

I love this video! Uncle Dougy reminds me of my older relatives. He’s probably gone by now, so it’s strange to hear his voice from beyond.

[@IVR02]

The sampling on Midnight Method reminds me a lot of the “tour guide” on A Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Marauders album. It was a series of vocal samples split to form sentences after every few tracks, with some jazz samples in the background. I wonder if there’s some inspiration? Either way, awesome video, Techmoan! I love to see all the oddball recordings you come across!
