Is it a briefcase? Is it a record player?

I've been drooling over the Briefcase USB Turntable ($100) for a good minute now, and today I find out that it's on sale for $69.99! How badass is this? You could get a pair of handcuffs and be all secret-agent-like (and only play killer songs).

My puns are horrible. Still, this turntable is amazing: portable, USB ready, three speeds, built-in speakers. Sure, it isn't the lightest briefcase out there, but imagine rolling up to your board meeting (ok, weekly staff meeting) and busting this bad boy out. Last week's minutes? Who cares, the Stones are rocking out the conference room.

I will say, having a turntable of my own has changed the way I appreciate music. I can only imagine being able to share that with everyone else as I tote this around.

Thank you ThinkGeek.com, thank you. 

My next music: We Were Promised Jetpacks

Went to the Forecastle music festival this weekend, had a blast, and am now kicking myself for not buying a t-shirt of the Scottish band We Were Promised Jetpacks.  I can't find any place that sells their clothing merchandise online, so I will happily settle for their MP3s from iTunes and buying the LP of their debut album "These Four Walls." The only challenge now: finding the LP, as FatCat Records is sold out.
