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
Even if you haven't owned a set of Crayola crayons since they only offered 32 or so different colors, you may want to go pick up the jumbo pack with the sharpener on the back and colors like "Atomic Tangerine" (it's more atomic than regular tangerine) so you can get started on the Graffiti Art Coloring Book. Each ... continue reading
You probably already know the benefits of using whiskey stones instead of ice in your drink. 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
Underneath all the lines of coke, sex and ridiculous mullets there's actually a really touching story in HBO's Eastbound & Down. A once great star who's lost the love of his life tries to pick up the pieces and get it all back, and that would make for a really emotional journey if the protagonist wasn't Kenny ... continue reading
Most of the poetry we've learned has come from sappy greeting cards and, if left to write our own, most of us would immediately start jotting down, "Roses are red . . . " It's not our fault, shedding tears to "Leaves of Grass" isn't our forte. Broetry, however, has found a tender spot in our heart, ditching flower ... continue reading
Doesn't it always seem like those Europeans get everything first?! No wait, that's the Japanese and by everything we were thinking tech gear and oddly flavored snacks. One thing those guys over the pond and beyond (side note - good name for a pond store) did have was the awesome power of Spotify. Now that we're getting ... continue reading
When we go hard as a motherf*@ker, it normally results in a day off of work to recover from a mild case of alcohol poisoning, nurse our wounds and potentially pray to the porcelain gods. When Jay Z and Kanye go H.A.M. together, legends are born. We're not trying to downplay anyone's (including our own) ability to get ... continue reading
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
We can count on one hand the amount of stereotypically great movies that Rutger Hauer has been in, but it would take more fingers and toes than any normal human being has to count all of the awesomely bad (in a good way) films he's graced with his presence. Now he's taking on 70s style grindhouse cinema as a hobo with, ... 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
Occasionally there will be a movie that we will want to see without needing a clue of what the plot is about. Is it directed by Quentin Tarantino? We're there. NC-17 rating? Yeah, we'll give it a shot. Is it an action/adventure that stars a bunch of hot chicks? Pass the popcorn. Sucker Punch would fall ... 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
Buying new furniture is expensive (even IKEA adds up), so protect the stuff you already have by listening to what your mom told you all those years ago and using a coaster. The protective barrier between your beer and your table doesn't have to be a piece of flimsy cardboard or glass, it can also be mean vinyl. In ... continue reading

Graffiti has existed for decades as simple gang tags on street corners, illegible writing on subway cars, or bathroom stall words of wisdom on penis size and/or who to call ... continue reading
