Remember the days when lip-synching with a hairbrush was about as high-tech a bedroom concert you could manage? No, actually, I don't expect you do. I do. I even know what LP and EP stand for and am perfectly aware what a record is SUPPOSED to look like. Yes, record. As in vinyl.

As technology gets smaller and more readily available, certain things are going out the window, like recording studios, or at least dependence on them. Now a band can simply buy recording equipment and make its own doggone CDs, thankyouverymuch. Some of these bands are quite good. Some of them ought to be killed before they reproduce.

Speaking of things that should be killed before reproducing, let us now turn our thoughts toward karaoke. As strange a thing as it is, karaoke is a pastime that many people enjoy. What if you could get your hands on a small device that would let you turn any digital recording you like into karaokeable sounds?

Well, you can. It's called the iKaraoke, and it wants to be your new best friend. It takes the music from your iPod to your stereo, while conveniently forgetting the lead vocal track. That's where you come in - you fill in the lead vocals. If you dare!

Wanna sing lead on your favorite White Snake song? Go ahead! Marilyn Manson? That too! Whatever is in your iPod is fair game.

You can pause the music or scan in either direction (not sideways, though), or even add the vocals back for a moment in case you get lost and forget the lyrics.

The end of the great, big karaoke machine is nigh. Then time when you had to wait until karaoke night at the local bar to get your groove on is over. Or at least, you can practice up a bit now before frightening people in public.
