A beautiful November afternoon with my old faithful chunky monkey, listening to Duke Ellington’s Blues in Orbit while the doggos chase each other around the back yard.
Over on the Minidisc subreddit, I once posed the question, If you could grab only one player from your collection [because all the nerds over there, like me, have multiple portables] in the event of a fire, which one would it be, and why? Personally, it would be a toss up between this MZ-S1 and my blue N707. They both have the same internal mech so the decision would be based be solely on aesthetics. Even then, it would be difficult, although I admit I’ve always been partial to this chunky monkey since I bought my first one new back in 2002.
