They were bad, but they made all the other bands sound great!
Anyone remember how popular the group Head Cleaner was?

From what I recall Play Both Sides was their only album, but virtually everyone had a copy so they must have been pretty good!

That’s what you get from a one-hit-wonder. One Album tops and that’s it.

And even now they don’t get that. You listen to that one song that you kinda like then their album flops.

I think the leader started another group called Head Demagnetizer. Really loud, too!

Got their CD when it first came out. The weirdest track ran along a ring of little brush tufts coming out of the CD surface. This band had some serious experimentalism happening.

The hidden tracks were the best!

That’s the cheap kind that ruined your heads. The good head cleaner had a little hole near the spool to drip isopropyl alcohol onto the cleaning tape.

Oh don’t get me started… they started their debut on Floppy Diskettes.

Head Cleaner unironically sounds like something a group really would’ve called themselves.

VCR Head Cleaner is great, but you’ve got to get it from the adult shop. Definitely get you open to bangin’ tunes!

Shampoo branding was wild in the 90s

You stick it one of the little toothy holes. It’s a “ribbed for your pleasure” kind of deal.

Oh yes, this is one of the places you can post it where people will remember what it is.

Wouldn’t the band be “Play Both Sides”, shotgun/dibs/etc., and the album called “Head Cleaner”?

Kind of sucks that my Commodore 1541 floppy drive (5.25" floppies) is giving me read/write errors, and I have no idea where I put my head cleaner floppy long ago. (Have to rely on SD2IEC on my Commodore 64, and it’s not compatible with some turbo loaders or other programs that do weird drive magic.) And, of course, while I might run into head cleaner tapes on specialty shops, good luck running into 5.25" cleaner floppies these days.

These things suck ass. Just use a cotton swab.

A very good Merzbow song though.

I had a collection of their music videos on VHS too.
