Giving Up the Trade

yourmonkeycalled:

When my father heard I had taken off the giant headphones for good, his reaction was more muted. “Time was, a man couldn’t buy a pair of loafers without some sort of modern musical accompaniment. Nowadays, people don’t seem to care. They go in, come out with new sneakers, and hardly seem to miss the Diplo/MIA remix record I would have played for them. Heck, boy, you could never beat match worth a lick anyhow, could you?,” my father teases. “I remember when you tried to scratch solo over Portishead. To this day, that Onitsuka Tiger store won’t return my phone calls,” he chuckles.
