COLLECTOR'S DREAM
If you think you are the biggest Björk fan in the whole world, then you need her latest boxset, Surrounded (Rhino). It includes all six of her studio albums (including the Selmasongs EP) and the Drawing Restraint 9 soundtrack remastered in 5.1, topped off with 26 videos — all for a suggested retail price of $129.98. On the seven discs in the set, you'll find the videos and Dolby 5.1 and DTS Surround Sound album versions on the DVD side and the original releases on the CD side. Perfect for Björkoholics.
FLASHY RINGS
Most cats making the cheesy preset ringtones on your phone were never signed to Sugar Hill Records. But Grandmaster Flash was, and he recently signed another deal to produce original ringtones for BlingTones, a hip-hop mobile music label. The DJ innovator joins other BlingTones producers such as Hi-Tek and Lil Jon, who create exclusive hip-hop content you can purchase for your phones at www.blingtones.net. For $5.99 a month, you get a total of seven ringtones or phone wallpapers. Diamond-encrusted flip phone sold separately.
WEBSITE OF THE MONTH
You're at the concert, camera in hand, getting ready to take that primo shot of your idol onstage. As you press the shutter button, some fool steps in front of you or spills his beer on your arm. Well, screw dealing with that anymore (you're not a photographer, anyway). Instead, check out Front Row Center (www.frcphotos.com), where you can purchase professional, high-quality photos from the show that you attended. The site just launched as of press time, so expect more artists and venues to be added soon.
