All Things Darryl

Ok maybe not..but he IS the #1 prospect in all of baseball and MIGHT be ready to play
outfield for the Braves come opening day. He will be competing with McLouth and Melky Cabrera for a starting spot and management won't be too eager to force him into the jaws of the bigs after the "Schafer" situation last year. But if this guy plays like he has shown he can (In 99 game appearances, he was a .323 hitter with 17 homers and 10 steals in the minors) the Braves might showcase the golden boy sooner than later.

INTERVIEW HERE

One of the most eagerly anticipated Essential Mix's of recent times, Boys Noize aka Alex Ridha, took to the decks to provide us with 2 hours that he promises is mixed mainly on vinyl. With his new album Power out this month it is somewhat surprising that the mix includes none of his own productions. Instead we are treated to a journey that starts off in jackin house territory before gradually building as it dips in and out of genres as far ranging as dubstep, techno and disco. It's probably one of the boldest mixes of the year as it shows off many of Ridha's influences yet features little of his trademark noisey electro and techno hybrid sound. Essential listening right here.

Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid is on the way and while it won't quite save the earth..it sure looks cool! It is both a laptop and portable tablet in one package. When closed the IdeaPad U1 Hybrid looks like a regular laptop, and with a rounded aesthetic and a red shimmery paint job it's a nice looking one. Under the lid there's chiclet-style keyboard surrounded by a fun rubberized palmrest with integrated touchpad. When docked, the U1 looks and feels like any other snazzed-up laptop, with an Intel CULV processor and a 128GB SSD running Windows 7 Home Premium. Lenovo's site shows a summer release.
