Like me, I’m sure your dearest wish is that karaoke catalogues included everything in the ‘new wave’ shelf of Toggsys’ record shop in Haverfordwest Riverside Market.
Brothers and sisters, the Rapture is at hand.
Behold The iKaraoke!
Strips the vocals off any of your ipods music, mixes in your best rendition of ‘mr pharmacist’ and squirts it out through through your stereo.
That alone is worth selling your soul to the DRM devil, but it gets better. It’s got an integrated FM transmitter, which I expect is the usual iTrip affair.
These can be tampered with , by which I mean ‘modded to drown out all other stations within a 70 foot radius’.
I predict this years surprise Christmas #1 will be ‘hey, guy at number 35, shut that fucking dog up’ by The Stooges.

Got out to a gig for the second time in a month (thanks to little brothers mad babysitting 5k1llZ ) – this time Arctic Monkeys at the Coal Exchange .
It’s not far past Freshers Week here so it felt like being on the set of Bugsy Malone at times.
First impressions were:
- wow, they started early
- seven or eight songs, and I did’nt know any of them. maybe they’re trying out new material? The moshpit seem to know them though…
Of course, that was the support act – would have been obvious except they had similar accents, sounded vaguely similar and bussed in a lot of fans. That’s what happens when you discover bands on the net I suppose…
The real thing were very good indeed – ticked all the boxes for me anyway (’a certain romance’, ‘bet she looks good on the dancefloor’ and ‘fake tales of san francisco’ – available on all discerning p2p networks ) .
