Okay, so I was looking through the urban outfitters catalog that my wife always gets in the mail even though we never buy anything from them, and I stumble over this:
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=15117559&navAction=jump&navCount=3 and this:
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&navAction=jump&id=16973992&search=true&isProduct=true&parentid=SEARCH+RESULTS&color=000I also read a little more about it on wikipedia here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylophone They look rather interesting, not as a serious musical instrument, but just as something fun to mess around with, and they are really cheap. Anyone know anything about them? Do they sound as cool and retro as they look?

Yeah they're pretty sweet. Not the best song in the world, but here's a cool video.

Lol, they would sell that. The beatbox looks really cool though.

Those things still fill me with Rolf Harris horrors of the 70s.

Urban Outfitters can supply all your hipster needs, from plastic glasses frames (from their website: Please note, these readers do not contain magnifying lenses, so they improve your look, not your vision.) to Kaossilators. I don't understand why they have stores outside of Brooklyn...
