Is anyone else completely fascinated by the way VHS looks when it's dubbed one too many times? It's kind of interesting to think that the more you make copies as a way of archieving something, the more it becomes a way of destroying it. Digital transfers seem like the way to go. But sometimes you have to wonder how much more damn colorful is it going to get after a couple more copies....for example.....http://youtube.com/watch?v=0n7C1AyU-9Qor am I much too drunk to be posting???? by the way that Drell dance they do when the music kicks in is kinda funny.

    I think that might be B&W film? The color in there is probably from however it was stored over the years, but I don't know enough to tell you for sure.

    I feel what you're saying about copies of VHS, cassettes, etc. degenerating and giving it some character, but I still would probably prefer to have clean copies of stuff. I had too many tapes where some fool hit the record button over shit while dubbing.

    Ah, so that fat slob hawking bootleg Nugent videos at the record show isn't a socially inept, washed-up old rocker.

    He's an artist.
