If you're like us, you've been thinking, "When is someone going to step up and make a damn Transformers themed ukulele!?" We know, right? Well thankfully our long wait is over. Seriously though, this Autobot Transformer Ukulele is pretty freakin' sweet and while we never thought about owning such an instrument, ... continue reading
Cards on the table, we haven't picked up a guitar in ages. We were never very good at it to begin with, so it serves a much better purpose hanging on the wall as art than it ever would in our hands. But that's ok because we have friends and acquaintances and people we're friends with on Facebook but don't know that ... continue reading
For a no-frills flask that's perfect to toss in your bag when you're out camping or exploring, turn to Stanley. The classic brand has been crafting solid, well-made food and drink gear since 1913. Their latest flask is the first in the Adventure Series which is aimed at being both essential and rugged. With more grip ... continue reading
There's no shortage of music getting released every Tuesday, but it's no secret that most of it is auto-tuned, over-produced, collaborative trash. We want gritty, no bullshit, no nonsense rock that we can put on a flannel, take off our pants and rock out to. Which is precisely why we're all such huge fans of The Black ... continue reading
Drinkify is a website that tells you the perfect drink to enjoy with whatever band or artist you happen to be listening to. When we first stumbled upon it all we could think was that, that sounds like an awful lot of work to just tell us "beer." Then we started playing around on it. Two hours later, we can safely ... continue reading
These days, alternative rock music can be anything from The Strokes to Yeah Yeah Yeahs and just about everything in between. In the early 1980s though, it didn't even exist. And then R.E.M. came along. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past two decades, you've heard at least one R.E.M. song in your lifetime. ... continue reading
Bono and the rest of U2 might be more about big hair, big sunglasses and big arenas more than political revolution these days, but at one point in time their music didn't feel so forced. 1991's Achtung Baby was one of those times. With approximately one bazillion records sold worldwide (it's actually around 18 million, ... continue reading
Unless you're Dave Grohl or some other mega-famous guitar player (we'll assume you aren't, our apologies to Dave who is no doubt reading this) you may not want to be chucking these bad boys into the crowd after your next gig. The Light Pick (available in a slew of different colors) will add a totally new and colorful ... continue reading
David Guetta is a big time French producer/remix artist/DJ/electronic music wizard, but his music isn't for everyone. If you aren't into the Top 40 style, Black Eyed Peas pop that you hear on the radio all the time, this album probably isn't for you. If there's even a glimmer of club kid still buried inside of you ... continue reading

With only a few solid weekends left before the end of the summer, it's about time to start planning the Labor Day party to end all Labor Day parties. Unless you live in a tropical climate, it's all pretty much downhill after Labor Day in terms of ... continue reading

With some help from our friends at Rdio, we got you through Lollapalooza and some Summer day drinking with enough tunes to spare. Hosting a weekend shindig (be it a trip to the beach or a BBQ) and attending Lollapalooza don't come cheap and everyone ... continue reading
At some point in every growing boy's life he dreams of being a rockstar. Maybe you actually made it and you're reading this from an incredibly posh tour bus, but the odds are your axe is hung up on the wall for display purposes and occasional noodling when the mood strikes. Even though we traded in that dream for a ... continue reading

Finally coming down from the musical high that was Lollapalooza (check out the Lollapalooza Playlist for some highlights), it's time for some much deserved recovery. Maybe we'll spend some time at the beach or have a BBQ, but we're looking for some ... continue reading

Radio as we know it is on its deathbed, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. All of the music you hear on traditional radio gets picked by record companies and faceless media execs based on what they think is marketable (but not necessarily good). ... continue reading
Forget the four albums that topped the Billboard charts. Forget having a song named one of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time by Rolling Stone. Forget being named one of the 100 Greatest Artists of all Time by both VH1 and Rolling Stone. Forget being nominated for induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame on more ... continue reading
Despite its name, this is not some instructional air guitar video that will train you in the skills of shredding to some AC/DC in your tighty-whities on top of the bed. It is luckily something far, far better for the real guitar player out there. Normally traveling with your guitar meant either buying a little body ... continue reading
