Fave Boombox & Music while working on your bike...

[Chris45]

Working in the garage during the long winter evenings got me rummaging around in the loft for my old boombox - a Hitachi TRK8080, bought in 1982 for £95 new. Soon had the volume turned up, listening to the radio, a hot cuppa tea and half a dozen ginger nuts to dunk...

So who else has got an old/fave boombox in their garage/shed/kitchen while fixing up yer bike? Here's a few of my fave music list -

Keep on Loving You - REO Speedwagon
Take it on the run - REO
Like a Hurricane - Neil Young
Wish you were here - The Floyd
Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix
Another girl, another planet - The only ones
Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones
Creep - Radiohead
Telephone Line - ELO !!!!
What's Up - 4 non blondes
Knock me out - Linda Perry
Glory Box - Portishead

Silence.

Silence.

More than once a slight "dink" has told me something small but essential has fallen off or where it's gone.

Another one for silence. I'm a bit thick so need to concentrate fully on what I'm doing.

If I'm just milling about in the shed and I can be arsed to take it in I've got a Bose Soundlink II that I run via Bluetooth to my phone.

Punk rawk for me please

I have a not quite as old JVC Bass tube thing. I've had it about 20 years mind you, looks like a bazooka.
Bought it at the end of the 90's in Costco for 135 quid. The rubber coating on the ends has started to go a bit gooey
and it needs a bang on the top every now and then because one speaker connection inside is a bit iffy. Otherwise it
still works and sounds great. It's been on many renovations and property development projects with me.

It has 3.5 aux input on rear so I usually connect my ipod to it. It's very loud and VERY bassy so the whole
downstairs is music filled if I should want that. It lives in my utility room off my kitchen. Out in the shed I
have a small digital radio (with a 3.5 aux out) and I've been known to combine the two.

I have a cheap Polaroid (read Asda) Bluetooth speaker in my garage, and I listen to Spotify. This is because I'm a resident of the 21st century.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I don't even know what spotify is.

I'm an old fart but I have a bluetooth speaker in the workshop and use spotify on my phone. Mostly I tend to work in silence though tbh, I only have muzak on if if the wife and bairn are out for the day and I have time for a proper sesh (fnar)

Radio 4, as long as it is not The Archers, or Womans hour, or just about every play they ever have broadcast.

edit: oh and I also hate the Listening Project, but it's too short to bother turning off
