Are you cooped up at home post surgery?

hanging in there, kinda sore today
Although the Cooping nom de plume is from a rabbit hole I went down on...you guessed voter fraud and Batimorian Edgar Allen Poe

walkman 37 years young today...

40th anniversary of Walkman going on sale in US ...I feel a bit wistful


The Walkman has quite an impact in the 80s but no it didn’t own the 80s

I remember that’s how I found out about the challenger explosion in science class...

I remember taking music to school and sharing with friends (“eat it” by weird al...)

Of course for the last two years of high school the Walkman made the trip back and forth from home actually fun

I just want to state for the record how offended I am by this post. The idea that walky, and by extension gay men as a whole, were “for sale” or promiscuous as children is wildly offensive. For someone who purports to be so woke, these sort of tired homophobic slurs are alarming, Hutch.

Oh shit


(I am definitely not “woke”)

The Walkman killed vinyl, not CDs.

I still like my Walkman..

But yeah that’s a known fact

I remember in the 80s joining those clubs where you got 12 tapes for a cent

I was actually all about cassettes until 1991 or so..a late adopter..the CDs were expensive..and I was still sometimes buying tapes until 1995...I remember getting wowed zowee on tape...

And of course mix tapes..I was listening to tapes until at least 1998..you would trade for say unreleased belle and Sebastian...I remember that’s how I first got tigermilk

And I had a high end Walkman I was toting around...it was so cool looking!

I feel like 1991 was still fairy early on the CD curve. My parents got a CD player when I was 6 (1989) and their friends were like “oh, I’ve heard of these but never seen one.” Could just be where we lived though.

The fact that you were 6 in 1989, makes me want to think about old versus young. You don't full6 understand the struggle of record, into cassette, into cd, into digital, into record again.

I mean, other than the initial record into cassette phase, yeah I remember all that.

Who can firsthand testify about that scandalous 78 to 45 transition?
