Portable Music, Then and Now.

The disadvantages of the Sanyo Walkman from 1985:
1. Bulky. Carrying that thing required either a leather pouch or a strap which was a fashion don't, or putting it into the backpack, which was awkward if you wanted to change the tape.
2. Requires disposable batteries (you could buy rechargeable, but they are not included in the price tag)
3. You are pretty much stuck with a predetermined order of songs, you could tape a mixtape, but taking into consideration the recording vs. playing ratio (1:1, it takes as long to record as to play it) and the quality loss on each subsequent generation of taping, you get what you originally got.
4. Skipping a song you are not in the mood for listening requires an additional effort.
5. Tapes occupy additional space, you may want to listen to more than one hour of music when you travel.
6. Useless if you want to go jogging.
7. Magnetic tape is vulnerable to wear and tear.
8. You want to listen to that song again? Rewind, which takes a great toll on battery life. We used to counter this by rewinding manually with a pen, which in retrospective looks totally delayed.
9. Utter inability to look for an specific song unless you were familiar with every minute of the tape.
10. Hiss, that bloody, wanker hiss...

The disadvantages of the iPod Shuffle 1 Gb from the XXI century;
1. Your dog can swallow it.

The art of Funky Paper Friends

We are two artists, Heidi Hinojosa, graphic designer and fashion guru and C. Augusto Valdés, playwright and critical thinker. We will be using this space to showcase the things we do and the things we like. If we see or listen to something rare and beautiful we will let you know.
Let's start things over by sharing the weird discovery that lead to the creation of this space;



Someone decided to take Heidi and I to create merchandise and they didn't even tell us! A paper doll called Monsieur Gus at Heidi dot com, that is intended to be the next internet meme, you are supposed to print Monsieur Gus and assemble it for some photoshoots.
We contacted the lawyers about a possible suit but we decided against it, because the unassembled doll is so unflattering, so I am better off disowning it and playing along.
Besides, we are going to create much better things here, so, enjoy!
