Meet Me At My Window

Selfridges invited bands to design store-front windows based on one of their songs! What have we got... Marina and the Diamonds, Florence and the Machine, Hot Chip, Empire of the Sun. Which window goes with which band is still up for debate (there's even a contest), but you get the idea.

Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

I have a friend who, as long as she stays with her current employer, gets 25% off an ice sculpture on the occasion of her wedding. She wants a working water wheel that dispenses champagne, but I think she should get this statue of Marilyn Monroe.



I mean, right?

One Day I'll Fly Away

James Coleman's Levitating Speakers. Levitating! As in: levitating speakers! Someone who knows tells me we can blame an electromagnet/superconductor combo, but I'd like to believe oh oh it's magic.

Too bad it's still a concept.

Where Do We Draw The Line

It's the Drawdio.
You attach the circuit to something that conducts electricity and then - you hear it! Basically, it's a simple synthesizer that uses conductive properties to create sound; you can "play" pencil lines, paintbrushes, clothing, water, people. SAY WHAT.



(The website has information on how to make one, how to buy one, where to see one, how to play one, and more things to do with one.)

Do You Believe In Life After Love?

Auto DE-tune.

Yeah, you read that right. Quote: "Introducing Moog Music's MF-401 Auto De-tune, featuring Authentic Vocal Imperfection(tm) technology, even a T-Pain vocal can be restored to its complete original character, scrubbing the pitch correction and leaving the untreated vocal in all its wavering sharp or flat glory. Results may vary, and Moog Music in no way bears responsibility for discomfort or irritation caused by the use of the MF-401."

There Will Be Snacks

Pianotable! Designed by Georg Bohle, this little baby is like something out of a dream. It gives such nuance to the expression: "I would rather play piano than eat, sleep, breathe, or do homework." Maybe that's not a widely known expression.
