R.I.P. Sony Walkman (1979 - 2010)
Sony announced yesterday that it will discontinue its former flagship product - the cassette tape based Walkman. This iconic music gadget will now take up space in your garage next to your 8-tracks and mini-disc player as obsolete devices you may take a look at every now and then to bask in the nostalgia.
I, for one, grew up with a Walkman constantly in my hands and foam headphones firmly perched atop my head. The Walkman changed my world for the better and I have been addicted to music ever since. Here, in tribute, is the title track to the very first piece of music I owned (on cassette, naturally) - RUN DMC's Raising Hell.
I will miss you, Walkman. Sleep well, sweet prince.
To share my love for music and the art of the mixtape, both for newbies and snobs alike. No holds barred - anything from Afro-Beat to Zydeco. I hope to introduce new music as well as unearth some forgotten gems.
Brand new mixes posted weekly (or so).
Two Rules:
1) Please make requests. 2) Do not hesitate to comment, question, guffaw, smile, cry, smirk, or denounce. The important thing is to share so we all can learn about music and how it makes us feel.
