So today I was checking out Kanye’s Blog and was reading about the J-CORDER CUSTOM RAVEN 1700 TAPE DECK

Seeing the Reel 2 Reel, reading the comments brought back a lot of memories from my childhood and the days of mixing / editing at KMEL. Growing up our families would record music on the R2R to have the music play for hours, yes hours. You just slow up the speed, record and it would play back exactly as it was recorded. Then in the early days at KMEL, we would edit our mixes on R2R for the late night mixes to air.

The images of the J-Corder lets you know that Analog hasn’t gone anywhere. People still buy vinyl like crazy because they love the warmth of the sound.

Then this evening writing this post and the mention of vinyl, it brought back a memory. So I googled, Louis Vuitton Record Case and there it was: The collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Helmut Lang Record Case. Here I’m thinking I’m bout to post something real cool when I find out Marcus Troy (a fellow Fatlace / StayFresh Crew member) beat me by 2 weeks posting it on his personal blog. Very cool post.  I’m glad I’m not the only one that remembers Grand Master Flash being in the original ad. If I’m not mistaken, this add was in Vibe Magazine (correct me if I’m wrong please).
