90s Nostalgia Champions and VHS Vindicators FOREVER BOGUS Launch Online Store with Bodacious Shot on Video Promo!

Most Tapeheads in tune with the current analog underground may recognize the Forever Bogus brand for their participation in the creation of some of the most bodacious seasonal VHS mix-tapes to ever enter modern Videovores’ VCRs with A Totally Bogus Halloween and A Very Merry Bogus Christmas, but beyond their knack for putting together these variety-stacked video snacks, the Bogus crew are also known for being perpetual proponents of 90s nostalgia, championing everything from home video entertainment to food to fashion (and, yes, that includes fanny packs, man!). And so, combining their love for VHS and utter 90s nostalgia, they’ve...

Dylan Hughes Evokes the Glory Days of SOV Skate Vids with his Shot on VHS-C Skateboarding Creation URBAN DECAY!

If you grew up skating (or even just appreciating) in the 90s, then you probably have an affinity for the guerilla-style, direct-to-VHS skate videos that dominated that particularly prolific era. This distinct filmmaking aesthetic, replete with low angle camera shots and fish eye lenses, sonically-fueled by indie hip-hop, punk and alt-jazz soundtracks, ooze with a certain inimitable style and nostalgia. Fortunately for us, South Florida skater and filmmaker Dylan Hughes has been hitting the VHStreets, armed with vintage VHS-C JVC GR-AX400 camcorder equipped with a Baby Death Fisheye Lens to recapture the feeling of those analog glory days. A VHStill...

Analog Artifact Unearthed! Check out the Promotional Blank VHS that Came with a 3 Pack Purchase of Salem and Camel Cigarettes! VHSmokin’ Nostalgia, Videovores!

Here’s a little blast from the past that I just had to VHShare with all the Videovores here in Lunchmeat Land! While perusing the world weird web on my perpetual search for rewind-inclined goodies, I came across this little slab of analog advertisement from R. J. Reynolds / Salem cigarettes. In 1989, they ran a promotion for a free blank videotape with the purchase of 3 packs of their signature menthol smokes. Ah, the 80s and early 90s… just nothing quite like them, eh, Tapeheads? And upon further inspection, it looks like whichever VHSmoker scored this freebie taped some Elvis...
