Got to talking about seminal experiences with a friend - among other things, how my musical tastes in high school and beyond were shaped by Mondo 2000 magazine. *blush* (Among other things, it was there that I discovered Camper Van Beethoven, Negativland and Brian Eno.)
There was also this odd little TVO series that was just clip after clip from weird experimental films. I used to sit a tape recorder next to the TV speaker to record the music (or sound effects, or whatever). One had a clip from Koyaanisqatsi, and the music blew my mind - the tinny sound made it sound like it was on a gramophone. And thus it was that the first album I ever bought 1000 Airplanes On The Roof by Philip Glass, followed by several more… much to my mother’s annoyance. ^.^
