Crackle is a simple word and one obvious idea popped to mind. A simple little record player with a crackle as it endlessly loops at the end of side A.
Or perhaps it's side B. Who can say.
There's no interactivity in today's toy, but you can leave it on in the background whilst playing your music, and pretend like you're a modern day hipster with a proper record player, and you're playing all the hits at 45rpm.
Or at least, I think it's 45rpm. I really struggled to get the maths right here! It feels a bit fast.
But what say you? Is my crackle on time?
Let me know in the comments!
[Green is carefully navigating the hallway with an enormous suitcase. He's wearing headphones and bobbing his head to the music. Dave emerges from his room, looking bewildered.]
Dave: Green? What on earth are you doing?
Green: (shouting over the music) What? Oh, hi Dave! I'm just taking my favourite vinyl for a walk!
Dave: (confused) Taking your vinyl for a... Green, are you having another sixties flashback?
Green: (removing one headphone) No, no! I've just invented a portable record player! It's like those newfangled CD things, but for real music!
Dave: (sarcastically) Nothing says 'portable' like lugging around a suitcase the size of a small car.
Green: (proudly) It's all about the audio quality, Dave. You can't get this sound from your digital doohickeys!
[Scene Two]
Int. RCHomes Cafe - Afternoon
[Green is setting up his enormous suitcase-record player on a table. Other residents are staring in disbelief.]
Green: (excitedly) Alright, everyone! Prepare yourselves for a musical experience like no other!
Dave: (entering the cafe) Good grief, Greenie, what are you doing now?
Green: I'm about to DJ for the cafe! It'll be just like the good old days!
Dave: (alarmed) Are you sure that's a good idea? You don't want the song skipping on the word "pianist" like last time.
Green: (dismissively) That was different. This time, I've calculated the exact groove-to-needle ratio for optimal sound quality.
Dave: (sarcastically) Oh, well in that case, carry on. What could possibly go wrong?
[Scene Three]
Int. RCHomes Cafe - Evening
[The cafe is in disarray. Vinyl records are scattered everywhere, and Green's suitcase is smoking slightly. Dave is helping Green pack up.]
Dave: (sighing) Well, that was... something.
Green: (dejectedly) I don't understand. It worked perfectly in my apartment.
Dave: Green, you can't expect everyone to appreciate the subtle nuances of 'Groovy Tunes from the Summer of Love'.
Green: (perking up) You're right! Maybe I need a bigger audience. The pool hall would be perfect!
Dave: (panicking) Or maybe just your headphones, quietly at home?
Green: (ignoring Dave) Don't worry, Dave. I've got it all figured out. Now, help me carry this to the pool hall. The people need to hear my music!
[As they struggle with the suitcase, Dave looks directly at the camera with a resigned expression]
Dave: (to the audience) If anyone needs me, I definitely won't be in the Pool Hall.
