To commemorate Cyber Monday, one of my favorite contrived media events, I'm pleased to announce Jamtopia's 2008 Holiday Gift Guide for Music Lovers. It's filled with gift ideas for the music fans in your life (or for yourself).
Each category in Jamtopia's 2008 Holiday Gift Guide showcases three great gift ideas priced to match your relationships — good friends, best friends, and soulmates — with a little something for every budget.
Plus each gift idea has solid features, gets positive reviews, and offers plenty of bang for the buck. We're betting none of these end up in the returns pile.
Happy shopping!
P.S. If your research points you to any other gift ideas you think should be featured, post a comment below.

Congratulations Jeff Kravitz!
Jeff's stunning picture of Pearl Jam's Mike McCready going airborne at the 2008 VH1 Rock Honors is getting an honor of its own — 1st place in the 2008 Jamtopia Concert Photo Contest.
I could see him tensing his leg muscles, hear the music reaching a crescendo, and I just waited for the right moment. Hands down the best photo I have ever taken.
— Jeff Kravitz
It wasn't unanimous, but two of our three judges chose Jeff's picture as their favorite from the more than 330 great concert photos entered in the contest. Personally, I loved this one from the second I saw it. As Jeff said, he took this one at just the right moment!
Our 1st runner-up is Alexandre Pinabel who captured the incredible emotion of Eugene Hütz and Pamela Racine from the New York gypsy punk outfit Gogol Bordello.
And taking the 2nd runner-up slot is Ben Hajdukiewicz with his photo of Jose from the Canadian hardcore band Eating Glass. As judge Andy Gadiel said, “it literally looks like his face is melting.”
Congratulations Jeff, Alexandre, and Ben, and thanks again to nearly 200 professional and amateur concert photographers who entered. Hope we can do it again next year.
Want to see more great concert photos? See all 12 finalists.

The call for entries in the 2008 Jamtopia Concert Photo Contest is officially over, but the deadline didn't pass quietly.
There were a flurry of entries in the last few days (like the one of Pearl Jam's Mike McCready shown here) bringing the total to 330 great concert photos!
Thanks so much to all who entered! The quality and quantity of entries exceeded my wildest expectations.
Don't forget to visit Jamtopia on October 15th to see the finalists. Then again on November 1st when we announce the winner.
