They started performing live in San Francisco during the Summer of Love but never released any recordings.

The video is from their debut album, released in November 2018 - better late than never.

"Counterfeiting Microsoft Windows Landed Me in Prison for a Year"

In 2012, while living in China, longtime e-waste recycler Eric Lundgren manufactured 28,000 PC restore discs to be used in refurbished computers sold in the United States.

The shipment of discs, exact copies of Dell-branded Microsoft Windows CDs, immediately raised suspicions with U.S. Customs officers, beginning a chain of events that would alter Lundgren’s life for the next seven years.

VICE follows the prolific computer refurbisher as he's sentenced to—and released from—federal prison.

What was the first record you ever bought?

...and when I say "record," I mean everything from Edison Cylinder Rolls to 78s to reel-to-reel magnetic tapes, to 45s and 33-1/3s to CDs, depending on how old you happen to be, or what you're into, I suppose.

But it has to be an actual object encoded with "music" which you can hold in your hand(s), not some digital download on a flash drive.

Here's mine, when I was 8 years old:

"Surfin Bird" b/w "King of the Surf" by The Trashmen, 1963, label: Garret, 7" single.

This one's pretty funny, from an old tv appearance:



'63 was a big year for me, what with this and the Kennedy assassination all going on.
