So check this out. For those of you born in 80s or later this may look like something that fell from space but I assure you, this item is retro!

Lasonic just released an old school boombox player for any current iPod. You put the iPod into the slot where a cassette tape used to go and you can be pumping out the tunes like your old man did back in his hey days. There are, of course, some modern twists like a remote control, USB flash disk and SD/MMC card to playback MP3s and also various Karaoke features. The best part about this , though, is not only the retro look, but also the retro feel – this thing weighs in at 15 lbs!!! (That spec may or may not be including the mass of the 10(!!) D batteries required to run this thing sans chord.)

I know you want one but guess what? They’re already sold out! Keep an eye out for one and then start breakdancing!
