Surround Sound

I always have music playing when I'm at home. I love listening to vinyl on my Crosley record player - the one my parents gifted me waaaay back in high school, the one that has moved seventeen hundred times with me, never going into storage, always being displayed prominently. It spins CDs also, with a tape player on the side (and I still have tapes to play) and a radio tuner I never use because… radio.

That being said, I also have a big digital music collection, and many albums recently have been bought exclusively through iTunes. I usually burn CDs so I can listen to the songs through stereo speakers, instead of my weak lil laptop or desktop speakers. I know there are iPod hookups that are decent sound systems, double as a clock radio, etc, but was never really interested in owning one.

Until I was searching for a case to protect Big Mama from scratches, which was promptly forgotten when I happened upon the most kickass iPod accessory I have ever seen:

It's Crosley also, so the speakers sound fantastic.
And it lights up when you listen in the dark.

Oh Big Mama, I spoil you.

  1. Tell me you actually bought it. And that from time to time to stand in front of it and hit it, just to see if something happens. That would so make my morning.

    1. Oh yes I bought it - all those pictures were taken inside my home.

  2. Do you remember in Napoleon Dynamite when Uncle Rico is trying to sell the tuppaware set to the little-man-big-woman couple? The woman sees the free gift - a miniature saleboat - and says with an intense, feverish yearning:
    "I wawnt that."

    That's how I feel right now.

    1. You have the best comparisons to help others understand your emotions. By using one of the best movies as a launching point, I know exactly how you feel.
