Hi-Fi Haberdashery

As both a seamstress and a DJ, I am nerding out so hard over this right now:

Sonic Fabric!

From the website: "Sonic Fabric (tm) is woven from 50% recycled prerecorded audiocassette tape and 50% cotton. [It] is not only strikingly beautiful and durable, it is also audible: the sounds contained in the weave can be heard by drawing a tape head over its surface.... Sonic Fabric (tm) was inspired by the use of small strands of cassette tape used as wind indicators, or "tell-tails" on sailboats, and by Tibetan prayer flags inscribed with wind-activated blessings." How cool is that?

Although if you'd like your music a little more direct and a little less esoteric (or if you just want to have your own personal soundtrack/arsenal of sound effects/walk around pretending to be John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever), you could always invest in ThinkGeek's Personal Soundtrack shirt. (They also have a neat interactive Electronic Drum Kit shirt, but as a girl... with breasts... yeah, you see where I'm going with this. Probably not the wisest wardrobe choice I could make. They should do the same thing with a pair of pants, for those of us who practice drumming on our thighs.)
