thongrider Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 My Discman is called "Walkman" and I last used it in 2014. I used a cassette walkman for the last time in 1998. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedo Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I had a Walkman in 1994 and I used to listen to Tag Team's Whoop There It Is on repeat while riding my bike around the neighborhood because D2: Mighty Ducks was a kick ass soundtrack and still fucking is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, thongrider's post (quoted below) reminded me these were for cassettes originally. I was referring to my discman called "Walkman" and i got it later in life, like 2010 or something. So I actually use it on and off now regularly. I just prefer the mp3 because its easier to carry around. Don't think I ever actually had the original Walkman, but I had generic tape recorders and generic boom boxes to record songs off the radio and then carry the cassettes around on the hand helds. Last I used the cassette hand held was around 2007. Don't even have it anymore now! Lol 2 hours ago, thongrider said: My Discman is called "Walkman" and I last used it in 2014.

Tombomb Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Oh, and today's morning earworm. I only heard this song and saw this video recently, so its even more powerful to me, given that things have changed so dramatically since then. All of the old clips...I'm practically crying. So many wonderful memories!! I can't let myself be one to whine about Tom not being in the band now, because it all happened for a reason, but I will allow myself to mourn the loss of the "good old days". I thought the first "split" in 2002 was hard! I can't imagine how y'all must've felt in 2011 (?) (14?) whenever that big one was. Sigh! God! Even that thumbnail!...ok, I'm not crying. You're crying! Heh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
