Replaying the Sound of Yesteryears: CD Player Edition

Top down view of the Discman

Welcoming the Sony Walkman DEJ016CK Portable CD Player to my little dainty collection. Just in time for the new year!

Commonly referred to as a Discman, this model looks sleek and has a certain allure to it's appearance, showing how the most vintage of things could be so simple. 

First rolled out in 2006, the Discman usually came accompanied with a simple headset.

To kickstart the Audio CD Collection in 2025, I'm leaning more towards genres such as R&B , Hip Hop and more exclusively, Malayalam Cinema Songs

For a cold night with the absolute gentle feel of solitude hanging about in the air, the Discman will make for a good companionship.

The Discman in all it's grandeur!

Black (2004) - Raw, Gritty and Stylish

                                                                       "Black: The man from Darkness" Neo-noir films have that magical allure to excite people and to compel them to explore the greyer areas of the drama called life.

Black is one such attempt from the famed Ranjith-Mammooty combination and I respect the superstar for choosing such a dark and complex subject and playing the role to perfection. Churned from actor Lal's own Lal Release, Karikamuri Shanmughan or Kumari is an iconic character in Mammootty's long alley of iconic career characters and holds an undoubted sense of swag to this day.   Credits - Blac...

Rosapoo (2018) : An Offbeat attempt at something bold

Rosapoo Movie Poster Source: IMBD Being an avid fan of films that handle quirky subjects, Rosapoo is one such effort from Malayalam Cinema, that remains unexplored by many. Handling the subject of the adult film industry that's set on the backdrop of the late nineties and early noughties, and it's impact on churning films that reigned supreme in the cinema kottakas (theaters) at that time .  It provides a curious snapshot of those forgotten and indecorous days of old, in the Malayalam Film Industry. Days that the Malayalam Film Industry would like to forget, memories that are stowed away into a silent and forgotten shutter in the attic of our minds.
