The 20 Sexiest Album Covers of All Time

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

10 Other Things We’d Be Willing To Do For Free

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

Web’s Best: Desserts for Dudes

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

A Day at the Track with BMW

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

30 Albums That Define Cool

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

Try This Now: White IPA

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

DIY: Speakers

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

The History of Headphones

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
