If you need dead quiet to get some shut-eye, this is probably not the pillow set you want to toss on your queen-size. If you miss the days of jamming #2 pencils into cassette tapes and watching the levels bounce with the beat of Ice Ice Baby, then this... continue...
Even if you’re not John Cusack, boomboxes are cool. We gotten past the point of cassette tapes and D-batteries (if they even make these anymore) though, so we need one that works with phones and mp3 players. Unfortunately, finding a boombox that... continue...
There are some DIY projects that we get about halfway through and say, “Screw it; someone on Etsy’s gotta have this.” This doesn’t stop us from pulling out the circular saw and sheets of sandpaper from time-to-time to work on... continue...
There are a few standard pieces of luggage you’ll see while standing at a baggage carousel—the quintessential black Samsonite, a series of cases that fit like nesting dolls, and one beat up junker covered in duct tape. Now, unless you’re... continue...
There’s a point every year when people start freaking out about finishing their holiday shopping. It frequently results in last minute raiding of the 7-11 for gift cards and whatever beer happens to still be available. Don’t be this guy or gal. We’ve... continue...
Did we recently write an article saying the term “boombox” immediately makes our shoulders cringe? Yes. Did we then mock the get ups we used to wear when we used them? Um, yeah, but if you’d allow us to make one slight exception to... continue...
It seems like every time we open an internet browser we’re being bombarded with the latest and greatest iPod / iPhone / iPad dock. We haven’t played with all of them, but when you see 15 of them a week it’s safe to say they aren’t... continue...
If you’re an audiophile who lived through the 80′s, just hearing the word “boombox” can cause a temporary twinge in your shoulder muscles as you recall hoisting one up and strolling the block in your Adidas warm ups. Okay, you... continue...
When we first found southernliving26 on Etsy we assumed the cufflinks they had for sale would depict jugs of moonshine, old muscle cars and perhaps Lynyrd Skynyrd. What are the odds the cufflinks are actually cooler than that?! Besides being affordable... continue...
If you haven’t ditched your boombox yet – or if you ditched it and then bought another one when it became ironically cool to do so – it’s time to ditch it for good. The TDK Life on Record Sound Cube gives you a modern version of a portable... continue...
With all the bags you own, it’s probably been quite some time since you had a hard suitcase. You’re not the only one that occasionally needs to squish things under a seat or in the overhead just to get stuff across the country, so there’s... continue...
Not much good came out of the eighties. Any positive cultural additions (the films of John Hughes, The Ferrari Testarossa, Cindy Crawford) were mitigated by an overwhelming number of bad additions (leg warmers, synth pop, any and all hairstyles). Boomboxes... continue...
Whether you want to throw a party at your place or bring one with you, the Altec MIX Boombox should be your weapon of choice. Compact and portable, it produces epic sound on the spot wherever you go thanks to a booming 5.25″ side firing subwoofer.... continue...
If you’ve ever handled a keytar, boombox, turntable, or used an 8-Track then you’ll love the retro feeling of the Exploded Explosion T-shirt. Designer Troy Paiva’s explodes these old school musical items and shows us their insides with... continue...
Take it back in the day like Jam Master Jay with this killer iPod dock. It looks like it would spit your kid sister’s *cough cough* New Kids on the Block tape (you still swear it wasn’t yours) but really it’s an iPod player in a beat... continue...
