OK, so let's just take a little inventory:
- Mini Geek? Check.
- Music Geek? Check.
- Gadget Geek? Check.
- General, every day run of the mill Geek? Check.
I fulfill all the necessary requirements in order to officially lust after this totally useless and overpriced thing (hey, isn't that the definition of "Art"?). Picture the package....A special domed case opens to expose four 12-inch vinyl records (Vinyl, oh how I've missed you!). The records are picture discs, so each one has some kind of hippy, trippy design on it. The content of the records are audio art, rarities, music and spoken word from the likes of David Byrne, Courtney Love, Michael Stipe, Adam Horowitz (Beastie Boys), Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran), Karl Bartos (Kraftwerk), Danger Mouse and Malcolm McLaren.
I can hear you saying, "Sounds great, but my turntable is buried beneath the detritus of many decades." Ah, they've got that covered. The kicker to all of this is that it comes with a cute little model of the brand, spankin' new MINI Clubman that actually has a needle and speakers in it. Put the MINI on the record and let it "drive" around and around playing the content of your new objet d'art.
It's all a production of Visionaire, which apparently does this kind of thing all the time. And you can order one right now for the low, low price of $250 from Amazon
