John Mulaney Comedy CD ($11)



I'm a big fan of standup comedy, but there's a lot of so-so stuff out there. But then there's Mulaney, an up-and-coming young comic. His CD is laugh-out-loud funny. Worth buying (or downloading) and repeat listens. From Amazon.

Magno Wooden Radio ($250)


It's made of sustainably grown wood, it's a radio, it plays nice with your iPod, it slices, it dices, etc. Mainly, it's just a completely harmonious and lust-worthy design object from the tip of its adorably rounded antenna to its old-timey yet totally legible channel dial. From ReForm School.

Almost Vintage Miniature Radio ($8)


sale!

Reg $25. If you can't afford a Magno radio but you love the vintage look, try this cute faux-Bakelite jobbie from Sundance Catalog.

99 Perfectly Relaxing Songs ($0.99)



Yes. 99 songs for, basically, a buck. If you like even two of them it's a good deal. Sheesh. From Amazon.

Speakers should be cute more often. Why so boxy and boring? Why not fruit shapes? From Favor Deals.

Logitech Pure-Fi iPod Boombox ($120)

After some research into various iPod speaker systems, Chez Windowshoppist purchased one of these recently, and we are big fans. First of all, it comes with a zillion different docking ports. Some of us have shiny new iPods and others of us have fragile elderly iPods, so flexibility is important. This system is also tiny—tiny!—but with freakishly good sound quality. Finally (and very crucially for the deeply lazy), it has a remote control, natch, which will change songs, play, pause, switch modes, and so on. I know there are very fancy iPod sound systems out there, but for budget-minded types who nonetheless want something with nice sound, we recommend this system.

Northern State "Can I Keep This Pen?" ($17)



If you loved their first album, "Dying In Stereo," you'll like this one, which has that great old-school Beastie Boys-style rap with a feminist twist. From Amazon.

Vibe Body Sound Headphones ($100)


These weird but apparently effective headphones clip to your outer ear and conduct music very clearly to your ear via bones. Which means you can still hear your officemates, your phone, and traffic while they're on—nice if you want to walk, bicycle, or take a break from ignoring said officemates. From Think Geek.

Portable Eco-Speakers ($15)



Made of recycled materials, these things promise great sound and the ability to fold flat when not in use. From fashionation.

Earmuff Headphones ($35)



No one needs these, but now that you've seen them, you can almost imagine the fluffy earmuffs playing your favorite song, can't you? From Hammacher Schlemmer.

Nano Wristband ($30)




I'm liking the stubbier shape of the new Nanos, and this wristband's watchlike arrangement takes advantage of it. From The Apple Store.
