During the 1990-91 school year, my dorm room was adjacent to a triple room. Lumberjack Girl had a dopey boyfriend, who was like David Schwimmer. The straight-blonde Hailey had a boyfriend, who looked like Motley Crue's Tommy Lee. But the petite curly blonde Andrea did not have a boyfriend. Thus, Andrea frequently got sexiled. The easiest thing for her to do was to stay in my room.
During the Winter 1991 quarter, Lumberjack Girl and her bf wanted the room, so Andrea once again asked to stay in my room. Hearing Lumberjack Girl have sex was.......gross. Andrea sheepishly admitted, "She's my friend. I like hanging out with her. But hearing her have sex is gross."
Andrea and I lay silent in bed. With furrowed brows, we looked at each other. Not quite as loud, we heard Hailey and her bf having sex. Since their bed was further from the wall, their noises did not come through the wall as well. Andrea said, "OMG, that's Hailey and her boyfriend. But [LG] and her boyfriend are still in the room, too!"
"Welp," remarked Andrea, "It's not everyday you see an iguana in a video."
In order to get our minds off of Andrea's roommates, we turned on the TV. MTV played Too Much Joy's "Crush Story," which featured an iguana. I said, "Well, it's meant to portray how gross guys are. But yeah, don't give iguanas a bad name!"
Forget 90s flashbacks. 30 years later, "Crush Story" is still enjoyable. And if Andrea's roommates could have sex at the same time, TAS could put solid state and tubes in bed together. That March/April 1991 issue followed a review of the $4000 Koetsu Pro IV with the $400 Signet Audio-Technica AT-OC9. Nothing like one being ten times the price of the other.
