    Hot In The Hive: HeartBeats Earbuds By Lady GaGa

    By now, you've probably at least heard of the rhythm-thumping Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, if not seen them around town conspicuously perched on the heads of commuting musicophiles everywhere. They're not cheap, and they're certainly not discreet, but they do deliver some seriously stellar sound quality for your favorite mp3s. But what if your style-conscious self isn't crazy about over-the-ear headphones... and even less in love with the $300 price tag? Thankfully, someone equally style-savvy (but perhaps much more "experimentally" so) has designed her own fashionable equivalent without sacrificing the sound value. Lady Gaga's HeartBeats, designed by the pantsless wonder herself, are sleek and chic and help deliver club caliber sound despite their tiny in-ear package. If you're not a serious stickler for sound clarity, you might be okay with sticking to your regular iPod buds, but if you strive to turn your morning walk to work into your own personal runway/dance floor, the HeartBeats may be your next go-to gadget!

    My favorite dance clubs are the kinds with multiple rooms or floors that play different types of music in each section. That way, I'm never bored, always have a multiple options to choose from, and all my friends can find a room that they like. Have you ever imagined bringing that into your own home? I found a company called Sonos which makes wireless audio receivers and speakers that work in your home. Start out with the Sonos ZonePlayer, plug in your router and favorite speakers, and you're ready to go. With this system, you can listen music from your own iTunes library or listen to digital radio stations like Sirius and Pandora. Add ZonePlayers in other rooms and you can have your own in-house dance club. Sing along with Aretha Franklin and other classics in your bathroom and rock out to Gwen Stefani and Rihanna in your kitchen! Best of all, you can control everything with their Sonos controller, your computer, or your iPhone!

    Ever sit at your work desk and wonder what life would have been like if you pursued your dreams of becoming a DJ? ...No? Yeah, me neither... but I still think it would be pretty fun to give it a shot without having to bribe the club mixmasters into letting me dabble with their ultra-expensive equipment. With the Crosley Portable USB Turntable, an exclusive Urban Outfitters gadget, you can start spinnin' and scratchin' all your favorite old-school tracks with just a quick plug-in to your Mac or PC, and even transfer them to your iPod. Now all you need to do is raid your parents' collection of ancient LPs and you can get to experimenting away with your untapped beat-rocking skills.

    Hot In The Hive: The Sony W Series Walkman

    One would think that being both a jogger and a musicophile is a personality combo made in athlete's heaven, given all the Apple-Nike collabos and music-friendly running accessories, not to mention all the sweet hour-long cardio remixes I've stumbled across on Pandora. But running with your music device is easier said than done, unfortunately, especially if you're jogging out in the fresh air without a treadmill's shelf to perch your player upon. In an effort to keep my hands free, I've even tucked my iPod under the band of my sports bra... which kept it secure, but soaked in sweat by the time my run was over (sorry, TMI). Sure, you could always buy an armband holster specifically for your mp3 gadget, but I'm still always getting my headphone wires snagged and yanked out by bushes and mailboxes I've narrowly had to bypass. Is it just me, or should combining these hobbies be much less complicated?! With the Sony W Series Walkman, it finally is! The 2-gig gizmo combines the music player and the earpieces into a one-part device, so it's literally just a pair of headphones -- no wires to get tangled in or contraption to tuck anywhere but your ears! It functions similarly to the iPod Shuffle, only let's face it -- this is much more convenient for a girl on the go. Plus, even if you're not sold yet on the concept itself, how can you resist its hot pink design?

    Are you one of the lucky people who got a brand new mp3 player for Christmas? Or maybe, you're thinking about finally getting one? Well, chances are it's either a Zune or iPod, am I right? Rather than bring up the age-old Microsoft versus Apple argument, I propose that both are great gadgets and we should all get the most out of them! I've found speakers, cases, and other accessories for both the Zune and iPod. Take a look at this super sleek speaker and docking station. Or decorate and protect your iPod with limited edition artist series skins. For more accessories for your music player, take a look a the slideshow. And remember to play nice!

    APRIL77 has been making punk-inspired clothes since 2002, but now the French label has gone a step further - their punky clothes now play punky music! When you buy their skinny Joey jean or Manchester collared shirt with guitar-pick pocket, each has a little tag with a scratch off that reveals a code that gets you a free MP3 single from the latest band on their new label: APRIL77RECORDS. "The inspiration comes from our love of music," explains head of worldwide press Laura Camille Saglio. "Brice Partouche, founder of APRIL77, has been a musician €“ drummer and guitarist €“ since his teens, and the creation of his fashion label was motivated by that in the first place - just to find the clothes he and his friends were looking for. And to look like their idols!" Click READ MORE to find out more about the label's new label. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for their rebel clothes and snot-nosed bands!
