Favoriting November 5, 2024: The Wiggle Room w/ Lost Media Archive: Unknown cassette found in a burned down country home in Puli, Taiwan circa late 1996.
An unknown cassette found in amongst ashes and rubble of a burnt down country home next to a rice field, while wandering in the mountain town of Puli,Taiwan circa 1996. I seem to remember that it was next to an old shoe and broken glass.

What an excellent find. It sounds like it is regional music from Taiwan. Very cool.

Austin Rich:

The best thing I found on the street was a burned Phillip Glass CD. I think I cleaned it up, and the first couple tracks played... then it just skipped.

The skipping part was interesting...
Avatar 👻 8:21pm
BC Sterrett:

The only reason I stepped into the burnt house is that I made out this cassette o the floor, looking through a dirty window. I don't know how you can hope for better content on a cassette like this.

Skips can add an added dimension for sure
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:24pm
Austin Rich:

True story: I was at a friends house, and we were listening to a Nine Inch Nails remix CD, and it was skipping, and many of us didn't realize it for a VERY long time. We thought it was a particularly strange re-mix.

(This story took place around 1994? 1995? Somewhere around there.)

Late 1996 I believe.

Not that you need a reason, but why were you in Taiwan? I would visit if I could.
Avatar 👻 8:30pm
BC Sterrett:

I was a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Taiwan for 2 years. Still an active member of the faith. I think I was in Puli for about 6 months. This was found on our day off once a week to do laundry and write letters home etc.

Sort of like the Peace Corps, but with a Latter-day Saints angle. How very cool.

I don't think this is going to fill the hour, I'm going to have to play something else to fill the rest of the show.

I suspect the chat will be quiet tonight, as most folks are doom-scrolling news or attentively watching this evening's contest.

I'm thinking maybe playing the rest of the Unknown Museum cassette that didn't air when I played it last...

YES! I was really into that tape when you were playing it.

Little did people know who lived in that burnt house that a piece of their lives would be broadcast in The United States in 2024.

Also there is virtually no knowing how this cassette fit into the life of whomever lived there. Someone could have gifted it and the recipient had no interest or it could have been in daily use as they did their daily Tai Chi or whatever.

Is the Unknown Museum still around? I need to visit!

I believe it is, I haven't spoken to Mickey for quite some time however. If you go, ask to visit his record collection inside a giant warehouse storage unit.
