  Telepaticos: Carpe Sativa EP
This is the first record I've ever reviewed from an Irish label, though the duo that put this together, Telepaticos, are actually Belgian... with a Spanish moniker. Got that straight? It's okay, you don't need to. Just listen...

  Music Reviews: Steve Soulbasics: "Kuchwa" Remixes
Afro-Funk is more than just adding a tribal beat and some incomprehensible chant to the mix. It's actually sort of bothered me for a minute that so many folks have played around with really cheap effects to get that "Ron Trent" sound, without bringing any of Ron Trent's musicality or (this is the point here) appreciation for the culture...

  Gadget Reviews: Lasonix X Famous i931
For the extremely ironic hipster in your life that rollerskates (not rollerblades) to work and grew up beating Run-DMC in the ghettoes of Rolling Meadows comes this modern version of the old school boombox from boutique electronics company Lasonic...

  Gadget Reviews: Sony Walkman NWZ 718
Believe it or not, Sony is still making Walkmans. Really! And they're not even meant for the hipster crowd (see my review of the Lasonic modern boombox). These might not be waterproof like the flagship Walkmans of the 1980s, but they at least are a bit sleeker than their construction-tape yellow forbearers...

  Love Sex Etc: Is Your Man on the Down-Low?
