After my time, Wertle. What is it, a radio? a tape player like a walkman?
When I were a lad you were looky to ‘ave a bit o’ dirt to play with….
it was like a little tiny tape player that played these little tiny tapes. The quality was horrible, and the tapes only had like 2 songs on them, but they were COOL (for like, 2 months).
Oh oh, here’s the one I had! You can see the little tiny tape that came with it (the song was “Walk Like an Egyptian”, was that the Bangals?
The Bangles , yes. I think they were originally called the Bangs after their hairstyles but someone else had the name first….
I won a copy of that record on 45rpm which arrived in a square cardboard envelope that was too big for our letterbox. So the postman obligingly folded it in half before shoving it through. And no, it wasn’t a flexidisc (not that a sharp crease across a diameter does those much good)
That’s the saddest story I’ve ever heard in my life, and yet somehow also the funniest ^_^
Pocket Rockers ROCK!
I totally had a pocket rocker.
It was white and it had black and hot pink stripes on it. I remember I had like three of the little tapes. They each had two songs on them.
I had at least one that was Belinda Carlisle. Oooo baby do you know what that’s worth?
A million friggin bucks! That’s what it’s worth!
Then they came out with some mini-pocket rockers (because the other ones were too big somehow? or what?) and I remember my cousins got those.
I think that’s the last time I bought into technology – that and my old nintendo (I stopped being good at video games after Mario 3, which I never, ever beat).
Re: Pocket Rockers ROCK!
yo! i had the white and black one with pink stripes too!! the two tapes i had were genesis and whitney houston…. i think i still have it somewhere. it’s probably kickin’ it with my old school game boy in a drawer in my closet or something…. i took that thing everywhere!
hmmmm i can’t really see it that well, but it might be it. i’m definitely going to find it next time i go home. i wanna know if it still works. 😛 holy crap, how AWESOME would that be??
