    Remember when you first used iTunes and you'd turn on the visualizer, and just stare at the screen as the psychedelic patterns pulsed to the music? Yeah, well no one does that anymore. But since the dream of the '90s is back (it is, right?), JBL's letting music lovers install a bit of the dancefloor in their homes with the Pulse -- blacklight posters optional. The LED-laden, cylindrical speaker has two 40mm drivers powering its sound, up to ten hours of battery life, NFC and Bluetooth for quick device pairing and audio streaming, as well as five pre-set light configurations for users to choose from. Don't worry, you can also customize the LED array to your liking -- which is all you should really care about, anyway -- and control setup from a companion app. JBL's $200 rave-speaker isn't set to ship from its site until next month, but you can go ahead and pre-order one now for your very own den of iniquity. And, while you're at it, may as well dust off those JNCOs, too.
