I used to work in a record store. Every now and then a young family would come in to browse. Inevitably one of the parents would grab a vinyl album and present it to their school-aged child and say, “This is called a record. Back in the day, this is what you listened to music on”. The child’s eyes would widen in awe and amazement. Me, I would just feel very very old.
My kids? They’ll always know what a record is. Now that CDs are on the way of the 8-track tape, records are being embraced by the young, the old, and of course DJs everywhere. And what better way to get a toddler’s hi-fi journey started than with this super cool Technics T-shirt by Chaser ($20 from Chasermerch.com). It’s a simple design with a hand drawn turntable and the shirt is a soft and sturdy poly cotton mix. Next, I just need to teach my kid that a record does not second as a Frisbee.
