BY GOD, IT'S A DVD

Every country has its prized export. Belgium has Front 242. Front 242 is not just a favorite among the black-trench-coat crowd — no self-respecting trance DJ can dare leave the house without at least one 242 track. As a thank you to its fans, the band is releasing its first live DVD, Catch the Men. The first 1,000 copies of this Internet-only release will include an exclusive compilation. Check out http://shop.alfa-matrix.com.

WEBSITE OF THE MONTH

It's difficult to know what to even think of this, but the formula seems simple enough: Take one Webcam and add one obviously lonely teenager with a penchant for bad dance music, and you've got a recipe for some serious fun. If you're truly bored or in need of a good laugh, go check out www.extremefunnypictures.com/funnypic759.htm. Foreigners are funny. But a chubby foreigner singing dance music in his bedroom and publishing it on the Internet is funnier still.

VINYL TO GO

Those hard, metal DJ crates sure can cause a lot bruises. For those drunken DJ nights, Yak Pak Pro music bags will leave you with fewer mystery wounds the next day. The DJ Crate ($100, shown) and DJ Messenger ($45) bags are made with heavy-duty canvas and protective foam padding. The Crate bag holds 70 records and comes with a flashlight to help you read record titles in the dark. The more modest Messenger bag holds 30 records. Check them out at www.yakpak.com.
