The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
International Home Movie Day - August 12th
By bohus
Here's a heads up for Retro Thing readers around the world. International Home Movie Day is coming on August 12th. On this day, sites all around the globe are hosting get togethers for people to bring in and watch home movies.
It's easy. Just rummage around in your parents' closets to find the old home movies. Bring them to your local HMD site, and they could be included in the evening's screening. Home Movie Day is terribly fun, even if you're not as alarmingly into other people's home movies as I am. I go to the Chicago one myself, and I bring along a pile of 1950's records that are intended to play along with home movies. It's incredibly fun to see how these randomly selected records and randomly selected movies sync up!
In the week leading up to Home Movie Day we'll have daily posts discussing some home movie related retro things, right up to the big day. Please write in and let us know if you're going to join your local HMD fun. It would be great if some of you Retro Thing readers got to hang out, right?
