It's doubtful that author and former mobster, Louis Ferrante, will be embarking on a national book signing tour following the publication of Mob Rules, at least we're guessing, since according to the movies we've seen, spilling stories about your time in the mafia can leave you in eternal slumber with the fishes. ... continue reading
Never has there been a book that we've wanted to rip so many pages out of and plaster on our walls (sans: How to Make Love Like a Porn star by Jenna Jameson). Crazy 4 Cult: Cult Movie Art delves deep into the history of the Crazy 4 Cult art show which has attracted the best-of-the-best in pop art to create works ... 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
Writing is kind of big deal around these parts. Without words, Cool Material would just be a series of pretty pictures and we wouldn't get to make comments about everything from cufflinks to copious amounts of booze. Honestly, it's also kind of a pain in the ass. Is it your? You're? You are? Their? There? And what ... continue reading
Summer puts us in a food kick. Maybe it's firing up the grill, being able to dine outside or just all the refreshing summer ales we get to wash down the meals with. Whatever it is, we're starting to think about Texas Ribeyes about as often as sex (okay, maybe not that much). In our exploration of food we've ... continue reading
We aren't going to pretend we always understand art. When Marcel Duchamp put a urinal on the wall and called it art we thought it was just for the drunk museum goers who, after a few too many free Chardonnays, lost their inhibitions and their bladder control. So, while we might not judge The Life of Fly as a book ... continue reading
One thing we'd love to see return from the ashes is the corner butcher shop (oh, and also Bonkers candy, but that is a separate topic). Sure, some still exist but they have slowly been pushed out by cheap prepackaged supermarket red dot specials. With The Cook And The Butcher you get over 100 great recipes designed ... continue reading
MacBook. Blackberry. GPS. PC. IPhone. 65" 3D TVs. It doesn't matter how much you try to escape it, unless you're Amish, technology is everywhere. It's in art, the workplace, transportation and every other aspect of your life. Personally, we like it, so we're not going to bitch. A Touch of Code: Interactive Installations ... continue reading
We are fairly certain you are familiar with Sasha Grey's . . . ahem . . . work, but chances are you don't know every side of the adult actress (okay, that you might know as well). Besides her recent crossover into mainstream film, Sasha has had a long term interest in documenting her life through photography. ... continue reading
Before they get to copyright information or any sort of Table of Contents, Recipes Every Man Should Know declares, "This book is for hungry guys," so we were like, "Yup, that sounds about right," and picked ourselves up a copy. Even if your kitchen skill-set has progressed beyond, "What's a boning knife and why does ... continue reading
Our definition of art is normally limited to expertly executed car restorations, blondes and a perfectly crafted drink. But then a Banksy or a Shephard Fairey comes along and changes everything. Graffiti is art. It might have originally started as street art, but Eminem started on the street too and look how that turned ... continue reading
Trying to get over a hangover is like trying to get rid of the hiccups - everyone has a cure and none of them work. Forget trying to drink upside down from the water-fountain for the hiccups and forget black coffee injected into your veins for a hangover. The best course of action when you wake up with a construction ... continue reading
Beer makes everything better. The liquid lubricant makes music sound better, girls look better and (if paired properly) food taste better. It's probably the greatest invention since the wheel (screw sliced bread), which is probably why we love it so much. As much as we love craft brews like Dogfish Head and Goose Island, ... continue reading
When was the last time you memorized a cell phone number? Put a picture in a photo album? Created a real, physical invitation for a party? Thanks to Facebook, we don't have to deal with any of those inconvenient, non-technological, memory-related things anymore. In our opinion, that's change for the better. With Social ... continue reading
Over time far too many men have traded in their toolbelts for a Sam's Club case of duct tape rolls. Yes, we've all heard duct tape can fix everything, but here's a newsflash: It can't. Have you ever seen a doctor walk into the ER with a roll for open heart surgery? (If you have, seriously call the authorities.) ... continue reading
Whatever the reason may be - irony, woodsman appeal, tickling women - growing a mustache isn't as simple as just not shaving your upper lip. Okay, frankly it is that easy, but if you have an extra $10 lying around and you want to get serious about your facial hair decision, The Moustache Grower's Guide is for you. ... continue reading
