SOUNDDOCK by BOSE
W
e aren't going out on a limb predicting this item will be one of the year's top sellers.

When the world's greatest speaker company pairs with the world's most popular MP3 player, the resulting product is going to sell just fine without us hopping on the bandwagon.

Still, we couldn't resist spotlighting this compact but oh-so-powerful all-in-one iPod docking station.

Simply plug this tiny unit in, drop your iPod (or iPod mini) into the cradle and sit back as the room is filled with the rich, clear sound that has defined Bose since 1964.

The Bose SoundDock Portable digital music system also charges your iPod while playing tunes, and you can control volume and song selection with a wireless, Bose-provided remote.

At only six inches in height (and under a foot in width), this may just be the world's smallest jukebox. Check early though, this item is in big demand and stocks run out frequently $1,144.  


In Singapore, you can get it from Mr. Michael Tien at Atlas Hi-Fi Pte. Ltd. 68 Orchard Road #03-19/21 Plaza Singapura, Tel: (65) 6339 0966, Fax: (65) 6336 4678

W
hoever came up with the name "TuneBuckle" for this product deserves a prize. Not only does the moniker resist the urge to go with one of those clever iNames (iBelt, iPants and iBuckle were no doubt pitched in design meetings), but it neatly summarizes the product - which is, of course, a belt buckle fit for an iPod nano.

We're not saying that the iCrotch wouldn't have been a perfectly acceptable alternative, just that TuneBuckle has a certain ring to it.

During the early sixties there were great changes in America, particularly, in the civil rights movements.

This meant black popular music became a lot more accepted. Soul and Motown were the main musical styles providing good fast music with a catchy beat which people could easily dance to.

These artists who sang for these labels such as Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson performed in good suits and always appeared very stylish carrying on the tradition of the jazz musicians of the decade before.

Clubs in London picked up on the popularity of this music and started to provide venues where young working class people could go to and dance. The youngsters who were attracted to by this style of music would naturally imitate their idols kicking off a trend of always dressing very stylish. Fashion was of most importance to these working class people who were known as the Mods...
