If you’re here, on a computer, reading a blog, you’ve probably never owned an actual record. This is the typical case, at least in my experience; my first piece of purchased music was on cassette and, like so many of my efforts in life, was made obsolete quickly. With no way to play my New Kids on the Block tape these days, I have only nostalgia for the days when making a mixtape took hours and required flawless execution. I’ve also heard this rumor floating around the internet that there used to be entire stores built solely for housing and selling these records. Crazy stuff, I know. Well, for those curious what the iTunes experience would have been like in 1981, Urban Outfitters has a cool wall mural to make that happen.

It’s a great idea for apartments or dorm rooms where you can’t paint but hate the look of that dingy off-white coat of cheap industrial paint. I’m looking to move in a month or so and I’m pretty sure this is getting thrown up on one of my four walls. $200 gets you in the door and this thing on the wall. When I find a place that sells parachute pants and boomboxes, I’ll let you know.
