When I was a kid I used to listen to my dad's vinyl albums of Jimmy Buffett music. This was back in the cult, when even Jimmy Buffett music would be an Issue of Faith and lead to a Conversation With The Pastor, so it wasn't something we were allowed to have. That meant there was a lot of unlabelled tapes and keeping things hidden, that kinda thing.
Anyway, so I didn't listen to or share this with anyone and things like my casette tapes, that I could record music onto and listen to in my room on my headphones, that was a resource to be spent. And if I wanted to listen to albums on this tape, it turns out there was this button on the record player that meant, when I recorded them, I could fit one whole album on one side of the tape, so one tape could be two albums.
This is how I listened to a lot of Jimmy Buffett as a kid. When I shared it with my dad he was horrified because, of course, he knew what a 45 vs 33 rpm recording meant.
Anyway what I'm saying is sometime around 1991 I invented nightcore
