Dec 31 2008 Apple Equalizer: These Beats Are So Fresh!
eBay user jetsobox_au is selling a bunch of Apple logo graphic equalizer shirts. You can get one for $20 plus $15 shipping or $35 with free shipping. They light up in all their graphic-equalizing glory when the music is kickin' at the rave and you're rolling your face off, watching some asshat (who may or may not have stuck his pill up his ass with the help of a plastic Wal-Mart bag "glove") swing glowsticks around on showstrings (you know who you are!). Unfortunately, this seems like a bit of, oh I don't know, copyright infringement. Now I'm not saying I'm going to notify Apple to sue the pants off this bastard, but I am going to pose as Apple and "sell" the poor sap the merchandising rights. Suck it, the man!
Hit the jump for a video of the shirt in action and a link to the auctions.

Aug 12 2008 Sunday School: The Holy Ghost Church Rave
This is a bunch of people going nuts and flailing around as the Holy Ghost fills their souls to the point of explosion, all set to techno DRUM AND BASS. I thought it was okay, particularly starting around the 1:00 mark. I definitely don't remember any of this at my Sunday school, but I did meet Jesus once at a rave. In retrospect, he could've just been a guy with long hair wearing a glowstick halo, but if that was the case then answer me this: how'd he get such good ecstasy? Thanks Jesus, best roll EVER.
Original video, sans techno, after the jump in case you care.

Jul 14 2008 Russian Ravers Go Blind From Laser Show
As many as 29 people may have partial vision loss as the result of a laser light show at an outdoor rave near Moscow last week. Several have experienced vision loss as high as 80 percent.
Attendees said heavy rains forced organizers to erect massive tents for the all-night dance party, and lasers that normally illuminate upwards into the sky were instead partially refracted into the ravers' eyes.
Now don't get me wrong, a person losing their vision is freaking awful, and I hope all those affected by this show can get some kind of help. But the point I'd like to make is this: a laser light show where the possibility of going blind doesn't exist is a crappy laser light show. You might as well hire a kid swinging a flashlight on a string. Seriously though folks, I wish these ravers the best and would like to remind you, the reader, to be careful with your eyes. Like testicles*, you only get two.
*Or ovaries.

Thanks Mark and Romeo, have either one of you ever bitten through a glow-stick? I have, it tasted awful.
Jun 24 2008 Phone Charger Powered By Dance, Ecstasy
The Dance Charge is a prototype phone charger that powers your phone by harnessing the kinetic energy of your dance moves. You just strap the thing to your arm, drop some ecstasy, and then let your eyes roll up in the back of your head while you flail around like an epileptic.
The device - which weighs 180grams and measures about the same size as a pack of cards - will be strapped to peoples arms and tested at Glastonbury Festival this week.As the dancers moves their arms along to the music - a specially designed system of weights and magnets creates an electrical current which provides a top-up charge to a connected mobile phone.
The charger was developed by Orange UK and 'GotWind', a renewable energy company, and is being tested at the Glastonbury festival this week. But the device isn't just limited to harnessing dance energy. It also works if you swing your arms while you run or masturbate like a crazy person.

Mar 21 2008 Call Of Duty 4 Gunshots Techno Song
Following in the footsteps of the songs made only with sounds from operating systems comes this entry. It's a techno-ish song made using the gun sounds from Call Of Duty 4. You might like it. If, of course, you're the kind of person that takes E and spend hours dancing around in the dark with glowsticks and sweating your ass off. Just kidding, I liked it and I don't do that. Anymore. My only complaint is that after repeated listening it started to sound like someone banging on a metal trashcan. Oh my God two mourning doves are doing it on the branch outside my window! Spring has sprung! At last. Ha, he's done already. Good show. Now the female's pecking him in the eyes.
Thanks to Skeps, who all the ladies love, for the tip
