Thrift store-found VHS tape with weird music on it (archived from a deleted channel)
Hi peeps. A bit of a different upload today. I found this video on Youtube through a Discord server about Boards of Canada. The original uploader claimed to have found this video on a thrifted VHS tape. People went nuts over the fact this could be unreleased Boards of Canada tracks, but I doubt it. Especially since the tape was found in the USA, according to the original uploader. Some Boards of Canada tracks seem to have been sprinkled in though. I liked the upload so I downloaded it. Turns out the original uploader deleted the entire channel (probably due to hate from people saying it’s fake). Never thought I’d be someone to save something from being lost media, but here I am... I doubt it’s a lost Boards of Canada release, but it’s a really nice collection of music anyway! Hope you enjoy it.
Original description from the now deleted video:
A few or more years ago I used to work at a local Red White & Blue Thrift center and the employees would always get first pick on any of the items that were dropped off. There was a box full of VHS tapes, some of which were horror movies. I grabbed four of the tapes. The tapes have remained on my shelf and never watched any of them until recently over the pandemic when the entire world was in lockdown. I went to go watch The Shining. I took the tape out of it’s box and noticed there was no label on the VHS tape. I popped it in and to my surprise this is what was on that tape. I was a little irritated, as I am a big Stephen King fan and was looking to watch the movie. I fast forwarded the tape, but it goes all blank after the music and clouds stop. I figured, some jack-ass decided to over dub cheesy music over some boring video footage of clouds. After all these months, I decided to convert the VHS footage to digital and post it.
No idea who made this tape, whether it’s some kind of joke, or what the music is. I tried to use the Shazam music app to see if I could identify, but no luck there. Maybe someone else knows? If I had to make an honest guess, I think possibly the tape is a student experiment for a class and maybe they made a tape compiled of music to throw on top of it and they accidentally put it in the wrong cassette box? Either way, I find it interesting or maybe slightly creepy. I was goin to throw the tape away, but something about the whole ordeal, I find very interesting.
