Cyber Monday!
Logically, if you’re surreptitiously stealing time from your employer to scout online deals, you’re probably not wasting a minute on a music site. But if you were . . .
We would spin you around right back into the world of e-commerce for the one music-related item that’s simply a must-have for kids of all ages. Ladies and gents, may we present the “I Am T-Pain” microphone, a riff on the record-while-you-sing children’s toy. If you’re in the minority of people who haven’t gotten their fill of Auto-Tune vocal processing, have at this. For $30, you get the experience of laying out for about three T-Pain albums to which you still have to personally supply the vocals. And think of the fun you’ll have the day you find it in a drawer the next time you’re packing boxes to move! (Recommended age is 7 to 11, an average that’s about nine fewer than you’re supposed to be to buy one of his records.)
