Oddity Archive
The Oddity Archive is a web series that revolves around the "cultural dustbin", especially as it pertains to media. The Archive also functions as an actual archive of sorts, with a modest collection of off-air Betamax and VHS recordings (about 400 total as of June, 2014). There's also a decent collection of ephemeral video, "ripoff" and "drugstore" LP's/cassettes/8-tracks, as well as (working) obsolete technology.

Ben Vs. Digital Music (Vol. 1: 1999-2001)
Yes, teenaged Benny-boy managed to blindly stumble into the “digital music revolution” circa Y2K. No, he did NOT turn into a cyberpunk warrior—he just became a prematurely grouchy old man.
