CDs are on their deathbed, and while vinyl has experienced a bit of a hipster renaissance, album covers aren’t nearly as important as they used to be. This makes us sad. We remember the days when some of the artwork was wall worthy. Not just the artistically designed, but also the ridiculously sexy. These are ... continue reading
A few weeks ago, BMW flew us out to Monterey, California to test drive some of their new top of the line 2013 models. (If you didn’t get a chance, you can read about it and see the pics here.) Now here’s the thing, this was an experience we would gladly have paid good money for, but didn’t have to because BMW was insanely awesome enough to foot the bill. So this got us thinking, you know, there’s a lot ...... continue reading
It might be a rare occasion, but if you have ever dropped your pocket knife in a pond while out camping, you know the annoyance involved in retrieving that sucker. The Cork Knife eliminates any fear of cutting rope on the side of a lake or whittling wood over a creek while you're on your next trip. The cork handle ... continue reading
For some inexplicable reason, dessert has never been seen as a man's game. Yeah, we'll eat it, but baking never seemed to be nearly as manly as tossing a steak on the grill. If you're ready to put your ego aside (at least partially) here are some desserts you could whip up that have a bit of macho in them.
Chocolate-Dipped ... continue reading
BMW was cool enough to invite us out to California for their 2013 Preview last week. It consisted of a swanky dinner with talk about their current projects and one awesome day at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. We’ll skip the dinner talk (we may have had a bit too much Woodford Reserve anyhow) and give you the run down on what it was like on the track. (Hint: It was awesome!) ... continue reading
Any album “list” is going to be incomplete. It’s going to be filled with albums you agree with, artists you hate and some sort of commentary that you probably disagree with. This list is no different. However, rather than ranking these in order of importance or influence, we decided to pick 30 Albums that Define Cool. It’s not a “Best of XXXX” list by any stretch of the imagination (because honestly, that would be presumptuous), just thirty albums that we ...... continue reading
Beer trends often flare up and burn out before the general public even hears a whisper. Some oddities stick – color changing mountains and lime flavoring – but mostly they’re just for the real beer geeks. One trend bubbling up right now that we feel you should know about is the white IPA. Why do we dig it? Well, it takes the creamy sweetness of a good wheat beer and combines it with the hoppiness of an IPA. We’ll leave ...... continue reading
Yes, we said, "Meat on a stick." Just get all your immature giggling out now (we did plenty putting the list together). Okay, good? Now, we don't know why, but food placed on a stick is immediately 2-3x more appealing than it would be on a plate. Since we are men, we'll keep the daiquiri ice pops in the freezer ... continue reading
Shark Week kicks off this weekend and here’s a newsflash for you: It’s awesome! The thing is though, we’ve seen a lot of shark footage over the years, and while we’re definitely not bored with it, we just think it might be time for something fresh. We’re not saying ditch Shark Week, but maybe the Discovery ... continue reading
Anything involving wires usually scares off about half the DIY population. As guys, it’s something that should be embraced rather than feared. We’re not saying you need to get knee-deep in computer parts, but some basic work would be good for you. When it results in a new set of unique speakers too, well that’s ... continue reading
You don't need to take sides in the Pat's vs. Geno's war or know what "wiz wit" means to appreciate a good steak sandwich. In fact, you don't even have to make anything remotely similar to what you'd get on the streets of Philly. A great steak sandwich is easy to achieve. Get some quality steak, pick up some good ... continue reading
On the scale of manly drinks, margaritas aren't exactly on the same level as ordering a whiskey neat. Of course, they aren't Bahama breezes or strawberry daiquiris either. Floating in this middle ground somewhere, they are open to a lot of experimentation. Here are some recipes for awesome ones that fall on the ... continue reading
An entire college course could be given on the cult-like popularity of Bill Murray and it would only begin to scratch the surface. We’re also pretty sure that these 20 things would be on the final. ... continue reading
We never thought a culinary revolution would spawn from a White Castle (even though we think more food should come in Crave Cases), but sliders have become a bit of a trendy food over the last couple of years. If there's a party that has some passed mini burgers, you better believe you can find us right at the ... continue reading
Surprisingly, not everyone wants to hear our music. When we were pumping our LCD Soundsystem mixtape, others in the office said they couldn’t “concentrate” and they “wished we were fired.” For this, and for many other reasons, headphones are an absolute necessity in our daily lives. It was long before Steve Jobs produced white earbuds and Dr. Dre jumped in the game, however, that people began getting tunes pumped into their ear canal. Here’s basically how it all went down. ...... continue reading
