I'm one of the youngest members on here. I was born 4th January 1990 and was sent home from hospital 8th January 1990. I founded out at that time New Kids On The Block - Hanging Tough became number 1. Does anyone on OSA remember what they were doing round the time I was born?

Acen and hardcore in jan 90 Monts? You were visiting the future mate weren't you?:lol: :p :D

I was probably on my christmas break from work then, or just back at work, certainly by the 8th. Musically I was listening to harder hip hop (NWA, Public Enemy, Ice Cube etc), house music and indie (amongst many other genres), jamming on my electric guitar to older rock music and drinking crap warm lager or pils and being a wreckhead. I was driving a MkII Escort had a large group of good friends and didn't have a care in the world:D Life was great:cool:

I don't remeber any Acen in 1990 & also did not see Jan! i just read through it quickly! (drinking a few beers) i used the name Acen as an example of joyment i had listening to studio wizardy using headphones all through the oldskool days which was a whole different experience than just listening to oldskool through a large pair of speakers far away from you!...

Hey Jonathan.... I might have been off school with the flu.... i remember very well that i was off all week, the first week back after xmas break but i cant quite remember if it was during my first or second year. In other word; the first week of 89, or the first week of 1990:confused:

bit of useless info, but a bit impressive that i (almost) remember what i was doing way back then:D
