For some reason, we don’t care about the fact it costs an extra few bucks to add sweet potato fries (or extra cheese) to anything, but $3 for an app is criminal. We’ll happily pay $1 for just about anything, but what about $3? Rockmate by Fingerlab... continue...
If you thought dubstep was all about SPIN’s 100th Greatest Guitarist of All Time (No, seriously), huge beat drops and being on ecstacy… you were right! But it’s also about pushing lots of cool little buttons on Ableton controllers... continue...
Every kid dreamt of being in a rock band, but very few dreamt of being the bassist. It was always the instrument you got relegated to; a few notches above the triangle. We will say this however, the heavy duty strings make for some good looking bracelets.... continue...
Everyone knows that the best place to look for cool, vintage style lighting—when you’re not on a Restoration Hardware budget—is Etsy. These Menlo Park Lamps from The Dapper Llama are the newest addition to our “lamps to buy as soon as... continue...
Most art starts a conversation. It evokes the Cubist mentality, or the human condition or blah, blah, pretentious words, blah. Fabian Ciraolo‘s Illustrations are so impressive that they could be described in many of the same ways, but we like them... continue...
Guitars are inherently cool. You can take the cool up a notch or two by getting a limited or special edition from one of the big manufacturers, or even by having your existing one customized. But you’ll be hard-pressed to find one as cool looking... continue...
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” would be a good summation of the history of guitar design. Whatever axe you choose to play today, won’t be so dissimilar from the ones the Stones, Zeppelin (unless Jimmy Page brought up... continue...
Restringing a guitar is like agreeing to watch kids that aren’t yours. It’s fun and exciting the first time, but each time after that it gets progressively worse until you dread each day it comes like a trip to the dentist. The Form2 Touch-sensitive... continue...
There comes a point in every guy’s life when he contemplates learning guitar. Often it stems from a belief that playing “Stairway to Heaven” will make panties fly off. Those who stick with it past the initial fingertip callouses usually... continue...
Kurt Cobain might have been the harbinger of death for hair metal, but he also did quite a few really awesome things. He made plaid cool again. He sang and strummed in a way that made all of us neurotic teenagers feel normal. He let Dave Grohl play drums.... continue...
Plastic was a fantastic invention. Thousands of things could be mass produced quickly and cheaply which made them readily available to everyone. Odds are though, if you can make it in wood it will probably do its job better and it will definitely look... continue...
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... continue...
You’ve probably already heard us talking about The Pick Punch, you may have even seen it while perusing the virtual aisles of our shop, but now you can see its greatness without having to read a single word (except these). We figured there wasn’t... continue...
The milk crates left in the world haven’t held bottles of milk for quite a while. Now you’ll find them in Brooklyn apartments surrounded by empty cans of PBR and loaded with vinyl from bands “you probably haven’t heard of.” ... continue...
iPads are fantastic media consumption devices. Netflix, games and music are never more than a finger tap away from occupying you for hours at a time, but they’ve been much for media creation (email doesn’t count as media). Until now that is.... continue...
