I Am X
With Becoming X, Sneaker Pimps changed the course of American pop music. Five years later, Sneaker Pimps founder Chris Corner aka I AM X embarks on a solo journey to showcase his exceptional production and songwriting talent.
Kiss + Swallow is really all about songs: dark, futuristic ones expressed in an electronic environment. From “Kiss and Swallow”, an upbeat radio anthem, to the 80’s influenced “Heatwave” or the end of days “White Suburb Impressionism”, the album swings moods flawlessly and captures the listener.
This is an electro-pop masterpiece, owing as much to the contemporary electronic productions of Berlin and Detroit as to the pop of Prince or Cabaret Voltaire. Chris Corner’s voice is the unifying thread, at times similar to the howlings of Cabaret Voltaire, always with the emotional clarity of Curtis Mayfield.

Digital Cube PuMP DAP100 MP3 Player
The
Digital Cube PuMP DAP100 is what we call a “silly little flash player”
here at Gizmodo Labs. The magic of the DAP100 is that it slides over to
expose its glistening USB 1.1 port like some junk demon straight out of
Naked Lunch. Rub some of the powder on my lips, indeed.
Comes in 256MB and 512MB, little LCD screen, FM-tuner, voice recorder, yadda yadda yadda.

Road Cone Amp
Why
create audio devices that are beautiful and sound incredible when you
can create audio devices that essentially are horrible looking and
sound like someone screaming into a Quaker Oats box? Don’t ask us. Ask
some kid named Chay.This musical abortion contains a speaker, a mini-amp, and a battery.
He’s offering to sell it, if you want to give it a good home.

Insta-hipster with the hipster iPod
What, listening to that those two namedropping Le Tigre and LCD Soundsystem tracks wasn’t enough of a lesson to get
you started on your road to proper hipsterdom? Well, if you want to kill two birds with one stone, just hook up the
Hipster iPod, a 60GB iPod that comes pre-loaded for $900 with 900 properly music-snobbish albums, including but not
limited to The Shaggs, Can, T-Rex, The Modern Lovers, the No New York comp, Gang of Four, The Pop Group, Throbbing
Gristle, The Homosexuals, The Fall, and many, many more. Now all you have to do live in Williamsburg and you’re totally
set to kick out the mad jams. And yes, we know this is a joke. Or if not that, still highly, indubitably illegal at
best.
P.S. - No comments about us living in Williamsburg, please.

MobiBlu DAH-1500
How cute is this MP3 player cube? The new MobiBlu DAH-1500 is a tiny, tiny MP3 Player measuring only 24x24x24mm. The MobiBlu DAH-1500 has a OLED display and sports a 20 hours playback time. It features a FM tuner and the headset plug is also the data connector. This cube style player is smaller than the iPod shuffle in Volume.
It comes in a box that reminds us a whole lot of the iPod (mini)’s - cube-shaped, with some fine artworks on each side of it.
Even has its own little protective “case”. All very cute in an acceptable way.
More pictures over at POPCO. They call it a “preview”, so I guess they’ll review it later on.
Update: the DAH-1500 finally got its own product page, over at MobiBlu’s website. CLICK.
Scratchophone
By David Pescovitz:
The
Scratchophone wearable DJ rig is Alari Thierry’s “final term project as
a business management student.” The first ever public demonstration
took place last week at the Urban Music Festival at Earl’s Court,
London. The little van is a modified “Vinyl Killer,” a self-contained phonograph needle and speaker that, on its own, will play a record by driving around the grooves. Link (Thanks, Richard Kadrey!)
