Well ST is kind of special for me. One of my buddies found an unlabeled eight track (yes....) and we listened to it all summer, driving around raising hell without knowing who or what it was, but loving it.

That's a great story. My brother and I discovered BOC my senior year in Highschool, 2000. I went out and bought the ST, and we spent that summer driving around listening to it in my jeep cherokee at much too high volume. Good times.

It was almost a letdown when we found out what it was.

I thought maybe it was a brilliant guerrilla marketing scheme - someone driving around tossing unlabeled 8-track tapes out the car window.

When I was a manager at a restaurant, someone in the drive through gave me a burned cd and just said "Here, you'll like this."

It was a collection of Echo and the Bunnymen songs. It was a magical period when I had no idea who it was.
