U Maung Maung’s blast from the past (via The Myanmar Times) | ArtsEquator Thinking and Talking about Arts and Culture in Southeast Asia Articles September 20, 2018 To some people, these maybe nothing more than trash, some useless pieces of equipment from a forgotten past, but to others these are rare gems that brought back some bittersweet memories from not so long ago, when strife of all kinds – from World War I, World War II, up to the cold war era — dominated the world. Yangon is about to get a rare treat reminiscing those foregone era of the angst-ridden, rock n’ rollin flower children generation and their famous slogan “Make Love Not War”, with a showcase of different kinds of turntables and vinyl records players, which defined the music scene for the good part of the 20th century. From September 20 to 22, researcher U Maung Maung will be showcasing his lifetime collection: turntables, record changers and discs, vinyl music records, sharing with today’s millenials and digital children about those turbulent times and computers and today’s digital gadgets were just figments of imagination.
