Ladybird Ear phones

 

These Ladybird Ear phones could be a big hit with lovers of cuteness, though they might unsettle people with a ladybird phobia, but I hope they are few and far between.

Decorative earphones open up a whole new avenue of accessorisation, so I am sure this design will be the first of many. The Ladybirds are designed to fit like standard ear buds and are compatible with standard 3.5mm headphone socket. Two sets of soft silicone tips are included with the set, one for adults and one for children.

Buy the ear phones online for £9.50 from Magma Books.

HP launches DJ-friendly Envy 15 Beats edition notebook

Not likely to appeal to your hardened DJs, but if you don't see a problem with taking a computer instead of a bag of vinyl to a club or bar, you might be interested in the HP Envy 15 Beats edition notebook.

If the logo looks familiar, that's because it's from the same people that brought you the Beats by Dr Dre headphones and the smaller Dr Dre earphones. Indeed, you get a pair of headphones as part of the notebook deal, as well as having the sound tuned by Beats and to finish things off,  Traktor LE software for live DJing.

Also inside that glossy black finish is an Intel Core i7 chipset, up to 16GB RAM and Mobility Radeon HD 4830 graphics, along with plenty of storage, all the connectivity you'll need and Windows 7 operating system. Just launched in the US and sure to hit the UK soon, it sells for $2,299, which is around £1,500.

If Spinal Tap were vodka drinkers, you can be pretty sure they's have a crate of the Absolut Vodka Rock Edition permanently in the dressing room.

Yes, inspired by big perms, tight trousers and music turned up to 11, the latest limited edition Absolut Vodka coems in its own (faux) leather stage suit, adorned with metal studs naturally.

Look out for it on every rock rider this side of 2011 as well as in Selfridges from this month, priced around the £14.99 mark. If you're not near a Selfridges, the Absolut Vodka Rock Edition should make it to some supermarkets at the beginning of October. see over the page for another rocktastic image.
