Buddy Holly - The day the music died
"Buddy Holly played rock and roll for only two short years, but the wealth of material he recorded in that time made a major and lasting impact on popular music. Holly was an innovator who wrote his own material and was among the first to exploit such advanced studio techniques as double-tracking. He pioneered and popularized the now-standard rock-band lineup of two guitars, bass and drums. In his final months, he even began experimenting with orchestration. Holly’s catalog of songs includes such standards of the rock and roll canon as “Rave On,” “Peggy Sue,” “That’ll Be the Day,” Oh Boy!” and “Maybe Baby.” Though Holly lacked the arresting sexuality of Elvis Presley, he nonetheless cut an engaging, charismatic figure with his trademark horn-rimmed glasses and vocal hiccup. His creative self-reliance and energetic, inspired craftsmanship prefigured the coming wave of rock and rollers in the Sixties. Holly was a professed influence on the Beatles and Hollies (both of whom derived their names from his). Even the Rolling Stones had their first major British hit with Holly’s “Not Fade Away.”
He was born Charles Hardin Holley (later amended to “Holly") on September 7th, 1936, in Lubbock, Texas. He learned to play guitar, piano and fiddle at an early age. After high school, he formed the Western and Bop Band, a country-oriented act that performed regularly on a Lubbock radio station and opened for acts that came through town. After being noticed by a talent scout, Holly was signed to Decca in early 1956, recording demos and singles for the label in Nashville under the name Buddy Holly and the Three Tunes. Back home, Holly opened a show at the Lubbock Youth Center for Elvis Presley, an event that hastened his conversion from country and western to rock and roll. ("We owe it all to Elvis,” he later said).
On February 25th, 1957, Holly and a revised band lineup, now dubbed the Crickets, recorded “That’ll Be the Day” at the Clovis, New Mexico, studio of producer Norman Petty. The effortless, upbeat rocker won them a contract with the Coral and Brunswick labels. Later that year it became a Number One pop hit and even rose to Number Two on the R&B charts. The terms of Holly’s arrangement with his record labels, negotiated by producer/manager Petty, were somewhat unusual. Releases alternated on Coral and Brunswick, with those on the former label credited to Buddy Holly and the latter to the Crickets. Between August 1957 and August 1958, Holly and the Crickets charted seven Top Forty singles.
In October 1958, Holly split both with the Crickets and with Petty, moving to Greenwich Village and marrying Maria Elena Santiago, to whom he proposed on their first date. Because of legal and financial problems engendered by his breakup with Petty, Holly reluctantly agreed to perform on the Winter Dance Party, an ill-advised bus tour of the Midwest in the winter of 1959. Following a show in Clear Lake, Iowa, Holly chartered a private plane to the next stop on the tour, Moorhead, Minnesota. Two other performers, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, joined him. Their plane left the Mason City, Iowa, airport at one in the morning and crashed in a cornfield a few minutes later, killing all aboard. Buddy Holly was only 22 years old at the time of the crash - an event immortalized in Don McLean’s “American Pie” as “the day the music died."”

Typefaces in use:
Danila Orlovsky’s (ParaType) fashionable, geometric Didone »Circus Didot«.
Circus Didot typeface presents a rework of a typical neoclassical serif type in a constructivist style. Analyzing the shapes of characters author placed basic geometric figures — triangles, rectangles, circles… above the contours of letters.
Resulting constructions staying recognizable letters at the same time bore a resemblance to pictures of Russian avant-garde artists from 20th century. This discovery has brought an idea to design a typeface where the tendency of a modern serif type to rationalism and geometry is realized in maximum possible extent. The prototypes for the project were taken from the works of Didot, lettering experiments of Russian constructivists and art deco artworks.
The technique of juggling with shapes and overall grotesque approach to the design explains the selection of the name for the font.
Luciano Vergara’s (Latinotype) stylish, thin, sans-serif typeface »Regia Sans Pro«.
Regia Sans is a very thin and condensed font with a modular design. It is recommended for short texts, in logos, magazines, posters, etc.

Who doesn't love a figure hugging dress?
A slightly better view of the dress. I need different shoes that are a better match I think.

Wie bei vielen technischen Dingen, die ich besaß oder besitze, unterzog ich den Ghettoblaster (auch Boombox genannt) einer Fotosession.
Mit dem klassischen Design hat der Hersteller einen tollen Gegenentwurf zu der rundgelutschten Unterhaltungselektronik geschaffen, quasi als Kontrapunkt zur Smartphonegeneration.
Das Gerät hat alle nötigen digitalen Features, die heute üblich sind. Neben dem Kassettenrecorder, der von allen Quellen aufnimmt, gibt es UKW/ DAB+, USB-Wiedergabe und -Aufnahme, Bluetooth, CD-Wiedergabe (Aufnahme auf Kassette oder als MP3 auf Stick möglich). Da die Mittel- und Langwelle eh tot sind (Funkamateure werden mir sicher sagen, dass das nicht so ist), wurde auf diese Wellenbereiche verzichtet.
Die Belegung der Bedienelemente hätte ich evtl. anders gelöst. Der Lautstärkeregler ist nicht der große Knopf links oben (welcher tatsächlich die Quellenauswahl vornimmt), wie man vermutet hätte (weil rechts der Senderwahlknopf ist, ein Schema, das seit den Röhrenradios Gültigkeit hatte und oft eingehalten wurde), sondern ein kleiner Drehknopf links unten. Auch sind die kleinen Drehregler etwas wackelig, das hätte anders gelöst werden können. Aber bei 299 € will ich dem gekauften Gaul mal nicht zu tief ins Maul schauen.
Alles in allem fühlt es sich wie vor 35 Jahren an, wobei ich mir damals so ein Gerät hätte nie leisten können (die gab es meist als Grauimporte nur im Gebrauchtwarenhandel).
