During the holidays, adults are good for conversations; "How's the baby?" "I heard you got a new dog." "Where are you working again?" Yet, the kids may feel bored, restless and raucous. To help channel their energy, why not try Christmas karaoke this year? Unlike video games that alienate the young from the old, the whole family can get involved in these seasonal sing-a-longs. Even grandpa may want a moment of glory singing Bing Crosby's "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas!"

Georg Neumann introduced the world's first commercially available condenser microphone, the Neumann CMV, and officially put his new company Neumann on the map. The interchangeable capsules offered different directional patterns, and it was hard to miss at 40 cm tall and 9cm in diameter. Its unmistakeable shape and large profile earned it the name, "Neumann Bottle." The easily recognizable CMV 3 is often seen in historical photographs of public events in Germany, many taken during World War II.

Anyone witness the sheerly brutal event that was Metallica at the O2 on March 28th? Its good to see Metallica playing almost all of the new album, as the St anger tour was just them playing the classic songs, with nothing new.
The new Metallica album 'Death Magnetic' is cruelly compared to the classic 'Master of puppets', But maybe this is because it doesnt sound like the other albums. Death magnetic just doesnt have the technicality of 'Justice for all' or the rawness of 'Kill 'em all'. Opening tracks 'that was just worth life' and 'end of the line' feel as if they'd decided to update 'Battery' and the song 'Master of puppets' for a modern audience. The same is true of the album closers 'suicide and redemption' and 'my apocalypse' -its like they wanted to reproduce 'Orion' and 'Damage inc' from Master of puppets. The album surprised alot of people who were ready to to write it off- myself included.
