Neat. I found a pen pal via MRR - lost touch for 30 years, found him a couple years ago, exchanging post cards now.

I digitized one of the VHS tapes we traded; presented for your enjoyment. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOgT48pM4GcsfPMvrDEUW...

How bizarre to think that when I was mailing records to MRR for review in the 90’s, I was also nominating them for inclusion in an archive of punk.

Life is strange, and I’m glad librarians and archivists exist.

As a proud graduate of MTSU's CS department, I'm so happy to see my school listed here. Even back in the 1990s when I attended there, everyone knew the recording industry program was something special. For a small to medium town, Murfreesboro had an incredible music scene.

I loved getting my bachelor's degree there. Best 9 years of my life :-D

Proud RIM (Recording Industry Major) Major here of 2001; cool to see MTSU mentioned on HN. It was a super fun degree and looks to be even more fun as they now offer a complete songwriting concentration to study in. It was either Music Business or Audio Engineering when i went.
