Um, you can file this one under “useless gifts.” Sarah Lewitinn, author of The Pocket DJ - oh, what’s that? You’ve never heard of that book? That’s because unless you can’t decide a simple thing like whether or not you like a song, it’s pretty much a complete waste of $10 - has released a second book: the just as useless Pocket Karaoke!

So, this is what her book publishers were probably thinking: Imagine you’re at a crowded karaoke bar, and you really want to wow your crush with the perfect song. But what would that song be? Do you want to sing a song by Gladys Knight? Or would Stevie Wonder be a better choice? Omigod, I don’t know! I WISH I HAD THE POCKET KARAOKE!

And so, Lewitinn (aka Ultragrrrl from Spin magazine) was handed a book deal, and soon there will be copies of this paperback in Chapters’ half-off bin.

If you’re really interested, the Pocket Karaoke is 320 pages of the best karaoke songs, which allows you to search by artist, genre and occasion. It also lists the places to find the best karaoke gear! Score!

Well, in case I’ve convinced you to buy the book, you can check it out HERE.
