Lost Beta Tape

Welcome to my video channel. I created Lost Beta Tape primarily to rescue and resuscitate older media and cultural relics from the time before the internet - when things moved slower, were perhaps slightly ugly and clunkier than they are today, and were less likely to be instantaneously commodified by the public via social media. Return to a time when all cultural choices were made at the corporate level by focus group committee or in the board room during dull whiteboard presentations. When "cool" was actually deterred by big advertising, and one had to sniff out subculture for oneself in the garbage-strewn alleyways among the grifters, punks and junkies.

Welcome to the land before hive mind, an alternate universe where VHS did not win out in the battle for analogue videotape supremacy and Betamax reigns as the alpha format. Welcome to Lost Beta Tape.
