  • People miss the value of streaming music.

    For films and TV, it’s simple to get what you want when you want it. People dont watch films back to back on recommendations. But being able to have access to millions upon millions of songs and have them play randomly is something you cannot get with self-hosting easily. It’s a great way to discover new music and there’s a lot of value in that.

    I’d only recommend self-hosting music if you literally only ever listen to the same 3 albums and are too stubborn to try new music. Or you are cheap!






    • Movies, including Home Alone and Back to the Future on VHS
    • CDs, including Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ’Em by MC Hammer and Michael Jackson’s Dangerous album
    • A Nintendo Game Boy
    • Rollerblades
    • Reebok Pump sneakers
    • A jar of Gak, at the request of a Dr. Emmett Brown impersonator, who showed up in a real DeLorean and fake hair
    • One of Joey Lawrence’s “Whoa! ’92” hats, which he stopped by to present
    • News reports, including coverage of the AIDS crisis, Desert Storm, and the end of the Soviet Union
    • Books, including a world atlas, history book, comic book, phone book, the Orlando TV Guide for the week of April 30, 1992, and a copy of the Book of - Endangered Species
    • An issue of Nickelodeon magazine
    • A Nicktoons t-shirt featuring Ren & Stimpy
    • A piece of the Berlin Wall
    • A Barbie doll
    • Pencils
    • A skateboard
    • A baseball
    • Twinkies
    • A stick of bubble gum (though no one seems to know which kind)
    • Photos of things too big (or alive) to fit inside, including bicycles, planes, trains, cars, politicians and celebrities
    • A videotape, which was a recording of the live ceremony, shot by a girl named Vicky who stood onstage to operate the Kid Cam
    • The camera recording the tape, which appears to have been unplanned—Mike O’Malley and Joey Lawrence both looked baffled about how to remove the tape from the camera, so the whole setup was tossed in at the last minute

    I think 2042 might still be too early to open it, but it will be nice for anyone there to watch it be opened, if they care!
