buddha machine...

the buddha machine is.... hard to describe.  a little plastic box that looks like a radio.  you put 2 AA batteries in, and it plays 9 different "ambient" sound loops, based on Buddhist monks chanting.  you hit a small switch to change the loops. 

it was $22 and i bought it as soon as i saw it at the record store.  i remembered wanting one a few years back.  turns out the husband did too!

it's mesmerizing and a little creepy.  i will carry it in my purse and demonstrate for all.  

for now, here's a long-ass 2 minute video that shows what the dogs think of the device.  listen with the sound on...
