I need some money. I mean REALLY need some money. I’ve just peered in to the massive space where the sea toilet used to be and pictured a sound system. :p

Alright, I jest, I have much better things to spend my diminishing overdraft on, but I wouldn’t even think twice about installing a stereo if I had the funds. I love music. No, you don’t understand, I mean, I really love it. From creations by the Doors and Frank Zappa, to Radiohead and the Smiths, to Larent Garnier, Noisia, Nathan Fake, and all that lovely “oldschool” from the early nineties. I am currently listening to “on a ragga tip” by SL2, for example.

When I turned 17 and, like all boys, got into cars, I used to make the first priority of car ownership, a good stereo. I started off small, but as I learned more about it all, ended up with a sound system that I built into an Escort that actually bent the roof, it was so loud! It sounded good too though. There’s no point having loud music unless you can hear everything from the hats to the drops, without a hint of speaker fart. My last run of cars had the single priority of being cheap and economical… how things change as you get a little older.

It’s not very seamanlike, I know, but when I’m out there in the middle of the sea, I’d love to be able to queue up a few classics to keep me motivated.

Now, you won’t get this unless of a certain age range, and by rights I should be too far on the young side of it, but nevertheless, indulge.

Isn’t that the sweetest sound. Somewhere, in storage at my parents house, I have it on 12″.
