I had a collection of their music videos on VHS too.
They were bad, but they made all the other bands sound great!
This was the good kind. The gear moved the head cleaner back and forth like a brush.
Got their CD when it first came out. The weirdest track ran along a ring of little brush tufts coming out of the CD surface. This band had some serious experimentalism happening.
From what I recall Play Both Sides was their only album, but virtually everyone had a copy so they must have been pretty good!
I think the leader started another group called Head Demagnetizer. Really loud, too!
The hidden tracks were the best!
That’s the cheap kind that ruined your heads. The good head cleaner had a little hole near the spool to drip isopropyl alcohol onto the cleaning tape.
That was my nickname in college
IMO these are terrible, a qtip and some ipa work wonders. These usually cawe with some kind of ipa or acetone concoction that was way too aggressive and could damage your heads. Learned that the hard way
Why would you use beer to clean something? Strange.
Isopropyl alcohol LMAO
Lol. Pretty sure they meant IA. Not sure isopropyl is supposed to be shortened to two letters.
I’ve always heard and seen it as ipa, probably because ia is too short, and could be misinterpreted.
I used stout, it worked fine.
Head Cleaner unironically sounds like something a group really would’ve called themselves.
Oh yes, this is one of the places you can post it where people will remember what it is.
VCR Head Cleaner is great, but you’ve got to get it from the adult shop. Definitely get you open to bangin’ tunes!
“How the hell am I supposed to clean my head with this?”
You stick it in one of the little toothy holes. It’s a “ribbed for your pleasure” kind of deal.
You gotta sniff the bottle to hear the album.
Wouldn’t the band be “Play Both Sides”, shotgun/dibs/etc., and the album called “Head Cleaner”?
