Back in 1985 – when Aquanet fogged up school locker rooms and kids could be found break-dancing on a broken-down cardboard box in the hallways between classes – the must-have holiday gift was a massive boombox. We’re talking about 5-band graphic equalizers, dual cassette decks with high-speed dubbing capability, and faux-chrome accents. If you were lucky, the thing only weighed 50 pounds once you loadied it with 10 D cell batteries which lasted maybe a couple of hours before fading out. But, damnit, you would lug that thing around on your shoulders bumpin’ Run-D.M.C like it was no big thing.
Thankfully, those days are over. Today, wireless, portable speakers come in packages so compact, you can fit ‘em in a fanny pack – not that you would ever do such a thing. What is this, 1993?
Check out the J-Lab Crasher. It’s a colorful Bluetooth wireless speaker with a built-in, USB rechargeable battery that will pump up the jam for nearly 18 hours straight. And the best part of all: We’re giving one away.
Just leave a comment below telling us what old-school jam you want to blast with your new JLab Crasher and which color combo you want – Miami purple/mint, sport gray/yellow, air aluminum/white, or midnight black/gunmetal. In one week (that’s December 24th, folks), we’ll select a winner, close the contest and announce the winner.
Be creative, make us smile, and good luck!
My air Aluminum/White will be playing Won’t Back Down – Tom Petty
Beastie Boys – High Plains Drifter on a Miami purple/mint. Why Miami purple/mint so everyone will see it and be like WTF is that. Good tunes and a conversation starter, what more can you ask for.
The Archies- Sugar Sugar and Midnight Black and Gunmetal, keeping it classy.
I would jam to “Everybody – Backstreet Boys”!!! And I want to rock to air aluminum/white color!
Well, I don’t think I’d be chosen this time (hahah), but it’s worth trying. :)
My midnight black/gunmetal speaker would play “Hit the Road Jack” by Ray Charles.
Disregard my last comment. I was having a brain fart and somehow misread the instructions. :P
I would probably blast Enter Sandman (Make fun all you want)…and black, for the black album, of course.
I would love to blast Shoop by Salt-n-Pepa from this little beast in sport grey/yellow.
Congratulations to Cubsfan16! We’ll touch base soon to sort out shipping details. Thanks to everyone for playing. This contest is now closed.
Pump up the jam
pump it up
while your feet are stomping
And the jam is pumping
look ahead the crowd is jumpin’
I’ll be bumpin Technotronic from the aluminum/white crasher thank ya very much!!!
RUN DMC – “walk this way”……. LOVE me some old school beats!
My midnight black/gunmetal JLab will play my finest playlist of 80′s music in my living room.
C’mon Feel the Noise – Quiet Riot. gotta love those ’80s jams. miami purple/ mint is pretty awesome too.
“Radio”-LL Cool J…and in sport gray/yellow
Beastie Boys License to Ill, on gray/yellow.
I want to blast the old-school jam ACDC Back In Black with my new JLab Crasher and would like the midnight black/gunmetal color please! Thank you!
MC Hammer, Can’t Touch This! The old skool hammer pants….aww, sometimes I wish I had pic’s of myself wearing those. lol…
Sport gray/yellow so I can maybe find it a little easier. I’d be playing some Led Zeppelin.
Always nice when you don’t have to worry about some stupid iOS only compatible device.
Santeria – Sublime. I don’t practice Santeria, and I ain’t got no crystal ball, but I’ll take midnight black/gunmetal all the way!
I will personally find an old school dubstep song to play through this for the first time.
Bell Biv DeVoe – Poison. midnight black/gunmetal
Jodeci–Forever My lady Miami purple/mint
Midnight black and gunmetal bumping some old school “Hoochie Mama”
Bel biv devoe Poison!! midnight black/gunmetal.
My midnight black/gunmetal would be bumping ‘It was a Good Day’ by Ice Cube while walking down the streets of Compton on a Friday morning.
The sport gray and yellow would look pretty cool as I ride the epic wave of Blind Guardian greatness that this device will certainly unleash!
My sport gray/yellow will be playing Welcome to the Jungle-Guns and Roses!
The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes on AIr ALuminum White
The Cisco Kid by War
Young MC
Id have to go with Zepplin’s Black Dog, on the Midnight Black and Gunmetal
I will probabaly attach it to my TV and watch old shows like ‘Witchblade.’
But music wise probabaly some old Ice T Classics.
. Speaker?…. Cool
i’d blast some Ice Ice Baby casue of the weather… Lol
Midnight black/gunmetal
I’d rock the Sport yellow/gray , and I’d slap Get Jiggy with It by Will Smith first just cause I can! HAHA
How about some art punk… Talking Heads – Born Under Punches . Nothing beats D. Byrne with the volume up on a Miami purple /mint. Try it out.
The Midnight Black/ Gunmetal would sound great bumping some classic LL Cool J- “Radio” minus the Radio Raheem Box.
I think were missing the point here, with this bad-ass speaker what old school jam would I NOT want to blast? Biggie Smalls, Run D.M.C, hell even the Beastie Boys will be returned to Fresh status with this funky Miami purple/ mint audiobox. Though maybe its a better idea I don’t win, all the local ladies would be all over my funky fresh beats, leaving the rest of our towns men lonely and miserable. But perhaps I could cheer them up with the same device which caused the problems. Ill start my own beat boxing routine by simply hiding it in my backpack an mouthing along with the words… they’ll never know.
sport gray/yellow – Your Mama by Wuf Ticket. Classic 12′ single from 1982
Am I just not seeing the link?
U2 – Exit
Miami Purple/Mint for me as well. Gotta spice life up somehow.
I’d play 2112 by Rush! Friday is 21/12 seems appropriate! :p
Rush. I’d definitely pick 2112 at TOP volume! especially given what Friday is! :P
This new jlab crasher in Miami purple/mint is gonna BLAST Human Resource…Dominator!! Oh yea..I wanna kiss myself!
Rapper’s Delight
