Sometimes it's good to diversify your home furnishings from the traditional Ikea/Target gamut. A little decorating excitement doesn't have to come in the form of a stripper pole or a wet bar, though both of those in the right context (i.e., together) have their merits. No, we're talking about lighting. Pottery Barn's ... continue reading

Basically, they cool your drink without watering it down so you get all the flavor you expect at a bit more pleasant temperature. With these Icon Whiskey Stones, you can add a bit more fun to your boozing experience. Available ... continue reading
Guitar picks are like matchbooks. You get them for free out of a little bowl by the register. They do their job well enough, they're used up quickly, and discarded without a thought. The guitar picks from Fine Picks are a far cry from this: made from exotic tropical hardwoods with names that sound like mosquito-borne ... continue reading
Remember that gadget where you'd clap and the lights would turn on? Creatively named "The Clapper" (in retrospect, it sounds like an over-the-counter Chlamydia medication)? Yeah, those were lame. But this Drum Light from 326 isn't. It's a snare with a sound-activated light inside. Smack it, and it instantly turns ... continue reading
Outkast’s Big Boi finally stepped out on his own to show the world just how creative and genius he is (Anyone ever doubt about this?

While some fans of Wolf Parade may have been disappointed with their second album (first album Appologies to Queen Mary is excellent. Haven’t listened? Do it. Right now.), the anticipated third album Expo 86 has arrived and let's just say the band has redeemed themselves. Another long awaited release is Band Of ... continue reading
Philadelphia based alternative-rap group The Roots have finally released their ninth studio album How I Got Over.

Unless all the Gaga/Bieber/most recently T-Pained artist has totally melted your eardrums you've heard The Black Keys. You might not have known it at the time you were watching Zombieland or Dexter or Gossip Girl (your secret's safe with us) but you've definitely heard the blues-rock, kind of like the White Stripes ... continue reading
STP (the band, not the motor oil) had their heyday in the mid-nineties, where they successfully made fans out of nearly every hot-blooded young male alive. For the last decade though, they've been more or less off the radar. With the release of their new self-titled album, the Stone Temple Pilots return to form ... continue reading
You might not have heard of Ames Bros, but you've definitely seen some of their work. With clients like Mini, ABSOLUT, Billboard, Random Huge Name, AOL, and Pearl Jam, Ames Bros is almost impossible to ignore. Those Pearl Jam posters (from concerts you don't remember) that sell for shitloads on eBay? Ames Bros. With ... continue reading

If you're anything like us (and we know you are) you have "purchased" an album only to find the only thing worth listening to is the single. Gorillaz Plastic Beach is most definitely not that album. Plastic Beach is an amalgamation of musical genres and vacillates between mellow, 80's synth pop and electric-backed ... continue reading
After Electric Ladyland - long before many of us were born - the Jimi Hendrix Experience set out to create a sequel with studio time between February and May of 1969. Unfortunately, none of the fruits of their labor - these twelve recordings - were ever released commercially. Jimi Hendrix is constantly rated the best ... continue reading
