Hey kid who traded his iPod for an OG Walkman for a week, what's on your iPod?

My dad had told me it was the iPod of its day.

He had told me it was big, but I hadn't realised he meant THAT big. It was the size of a small book.

Okay, once I got to this line I called bullshit on the whole thing and closed the tab:

Another notable feature that the iPod has and the Walkman doesn't is "shuffle", where the player selects random tracks to play. Its a function that, on the face of it, the Walkman lacks. But I managed to create an impromptu shuffle feature simply by holding down "rewind" and releasing it randomly - effective, if a little laboured.

The Cardigans - "Erase / Rewind"

Seven Mary Three, "Cumbersome"

That was seriously the least interesting possible article I can imagine coming out of what is actually a potentially amusing premise

could we not fucking talk about this anymore?

this is worse that sarah boyle

Nowadays gadgets come in a rainbow of colours but this was only one shade - a bland grey.

UH

I mean the first bit is barely even true! MP3 players are normally white or black or grey or maybe look like some novelty bullshit

I liked the line about metal tapes, tho.
