end of an era





i realize this is a little late but JVC recently ended its epic reign of VCR production (gizmodo article). another chapter in the dark story of the video-genocide. i will forever cherish the VHS cassettes for a listless number of reasons and feelings. feelings which our known "words" cannot do justice. but mainly i will remember...
-their durability
-their default black outfit (not to mention the sweet neon-colored kind, think
Johnny Mnemonic)
-their delightfully kitsch jacket covers







Rest
In
Players
1975-2008
