...Leave The TV On? Japanese robot technology is often more spectacle than utility, but the anthropomorphic Nuvo is bridging that gap. By day, the 38-cm robot keeps an eye on the house with a digital camera that transmits images to its owner's mobile phone. It's kind of a webcam on legs?but, oh, what legs! Nuvo dances and plays music at a mere voice command. Price: $5,500-$8,335 each...
...like, a hundred of them. Doing this list led me to rediscover the song, and I’ve set it on constant repeat for the past 24 hours. Unlike almost everything else on this list, it doesn’t sound like it was made by a robot, and in fact sounds like the most truthful thing a woman’s ever said to me: “When I show you that I just don’t care / When I’m throwing punches in the air / When I’m broken down...

...aren’t their finest, but some day I could probably retire young after selling it on eBay. Also, I saw Cody ChesnuTT this summer and still haven’t recovered. Same with Kraftwerk. They are kind of who I aspire to be like in my Germanic robot future life. Some other stuff: Dave van Ronk, Billy Bragg, Casiotone, the Lucky Dragons, and more stuff. Oh yeah, and the forever favorite: the soundtrack of ‘Labyrinth...
