Spotify has single-handedly changed the way we digest music. We love Grooveshark because the annoying IT guy won't let us install anything on our computers, and it's great for making Mixtapes, but it won't work on our iDevices. With Spotify you don't have to worry about syncing your iPhone or your iPad. You don't have ... continue reading
If you need dead quiet to get some shut-eye, this is probably not the pillow set you want to toss on your queen-size. If you miss the days of jamming #2 pencils into cassette tapes and watching the levels bounce with the beat of Ice Ice Baby, then this Boombox Pillow Set available from Meninos is the perfect place ... 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
It's amazing that Snoop remembers the lyrics to all his tracks when he's on stage. Even with countless performances, including a bunch on the aptly titled "Up in Smoke Tour," we'd have to imagine all those j's would eventually catch up to the D-O-Double-G. With Snoop Dogg's Smokable Song Book, Snoop—or any ... continue reading
Even if you're not John Cusack, boomboxes are cool. We gotten past the point of cassette tapes and D-batteries (if they even make these anymore) though, so we need one that works with phones and mp3 players. Unfortunately, finding a boombox that looks as good as the ones from the 80s, and supports modern technology, ... continue reading
Combining two things men love into one awesome product has always been a recipe for success. Putting bacon on pizza (or just about anything else, really). The creation of the spork. Swiss Army Knives. Watches made out of wood. And now, this Marshall Fridge. It's a man-cave (or dorm room) sized fridge that will easily ... continue reading
Anyone who owned cassette tapes has lived through the torture of respooling at least one of them with a #2 pencil. If it was a cassette single of "U Can't Touch This," it went a little quicker than the mess a 90-minute Maxwell could make, but either way you had the desire to stomp the damn thing to little analog shards ... continue reading
"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 a double neck) and older legends carried out on stage with them. While you might not be playing ... continue reading
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 end up dedicating a large portion of their life to becoming the next Slash. This ... continue reading
If you're anything like us, you have a thing (thang?) for rap music. We love listening to the coolest tracks and the hottest jams from East Coast and West Coast alike, but we frequently run into problems when we load up Spotify or Grooveshark to get down. We can't keep track of all the dogs, doggs and dawgs or all ... continue reading
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. He married Courtney Love. Ok, he had his faults too. Musically ... continue reading
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 better. Take the guitar pick for instance. Yeah, you can get thousands ... continue reading
There are a lot of things we don't know about the Drinkman Hip Flask. We don't know how many fluid ounces of the good stuff it's going to hold. We don't know how much it's going to cost. We don't know if the nozzle is going to be on the top or the side, or even if it will be available in yellow. But none of that makes ... continue reading
It's hard to remember a time before Google Maps when big brother didn't always know where you are, but it existed. Apparently they had these things called maps that didn't require a power source and were impossible to read. These times were also lacking in things like Spotify and Grooveshark, so you couldn't listen ... continue reading
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." If you're a music purist who doesn't want the quality of an mp3 downloaded off iTunes and ... continue reading
We're kind of audio freaks around here. We stash cash for high-performance speakers, iPhone docking units and surround sound systems that rival those installed at Regal Cinemas. We praise Bang & Olufsen. We also happen to have a strange desire to cover every square inch of wall space with uniquely awesome pieces ... continue reading
