HAPPY 2010 GHETTO BLASTER!


The time was the late 1970s. Before the advent of micro mp3 pod players and even the Walkman there was the boombox. A portable-ish stereo system you could take with you to hear your favorite Sly & the Family Stone hits or rock to Casey’s Top 40. Similar to the tank-sized Cadillacs and Pontiacs of yore, brands like SONY and Emerson battled it out to see who could make the loudest and biggest boomboxes. These mega-music monsters were also staple for breakdancing battles (ala Beat Street) on the asphalt. Of course, by the mid-80s the shoulder holstering stereo days came to a HiFi sounding crash as the rise of the Walkman popularity. Today, the boombox has made a minor comeback thanks to Lasonic. They even gave it an i-makeover.
