Boomboxes of yesteryear
Once upon a time, there were no iPods. This online museum offers images of boomboxes from the 1970s and '80s. A look back at music technology's humble roots, "when the idea of a personal stereo experience was a bit of a novelty." Serving suggestion: Crank up the volume on your PC and listen to this totally free teaser clip of "White Lines" by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel while you're browsing these amazing images of old-school funk-delivery systems. Fun, baby. Link (Thanks, asthmatic)
