I'm massive-attacking Flickr with a fresh flurry of photos today. Suggestion: watch the slideshow while listening to mp3s from Section Amour.

I'm intrigued by the lego stereo. are those bricks the soundspeakers?

Wired reports:

"Since it first broke out of the toy box, Lego has turned up in everything from artwork to telephones. Now vacuum records is offering qmpo, a stereo minisystem available in Japan that's enclosed in the giant, colorful bricks. Every component - two 5-watt speakers, a CD player, a power adapter, and a remote - renders the construction toy's signature knob pattern in Lego-authentic ABS plastic. A standard jack takes audio input from MP3, minidisc, and other players, while optional CD holders, $30 each, add more blocks to the stackable set. For stateside use, plug qmpo into a garden-variety transformer.
qmpo: $300. vacuum records: +81 (3) 3335 8850, www.qmpo.com."

But I think qmpo has gone out of business now.
