Sure, it’s in the UK, but until we get a reliable source from around here, I suppose we can order from over the pond.

Re: the qualities of absinthe. A buddy and I finished an entire bottle one night and we saw very few “green fairies.” However, my friend did fall asleep screaming about going to some dance club that didn’t exist. So there’s that.

Useful, small, for guitars. Excellent.

Your strap will stay on your guitar so it doesn’t fall to the floor.

The lock can’t vibrate loose or rotate off.

You can case your guitar with the strap left on.

From WristWatchReview.com - Check out Velociphile’s take on the Spring Drive. Thorough. Very thorough.

Because it is a continuation of a line of evolution, it makes sense, at least to me, that developing better mechanicals remains valid; the logic being in the absence of quartz where could we be? And this is where I start to struggle with Spring Drive.

Read the rest here.

I know SCOTTeVEST sounds kind of geeky, but they’ve been making some great clothing full of crazy pockets and other hidden doodads for hold iPods, CD players, and apparently guns.

I gotta tell you - the ONLY things that I might change on the Milan are the slightly wider cuffs. It’s a men’s medium, but the wrists feel extra large on me. If I could gather them in just a tiny bit more, then I would be happy with every aspect of this jacket - but bear in mind that my wrists are 5 3/4″ inches, so this would probably not even be be an issue for most men. Even with the wider cuffs, the Milan is now my favorite jacket. So yes, if you run into me in the cooler months, you’ll get an opportunity to pet my jacket.

Prairie Wind [CD/DVD]

Just got this album and I can honestly say it’s the best Neil Young album since Harvest Moon. The songs, especially Old Guitar and When God Made me - two classics. Listen to Old Guitar - he sings about bricks and he bricks. He talks about mistakes and he makes a mistake. It’s like Japanese calligraphy. Seriously.

The DVD includes two videos of the master in action and it’s worth watching him work. I didn’t care much for his Greenville work, but this album brings us back home.

We do love our recycled beer tumblers. Apparently, these are “extremely durable” which is pretty damn important if you’re drinking a lot of beer. We once had a race to see who got to make out with a girl during one of our college parties and a durable glass would have come in handy.

My father has been going to the same barber shop since his college days. He drives four hours one-way to see the man he wants (it helps that he often travels on business). I don’t remember the last time I drove four hours one-way to see the woman I wanted, much less a hair stylist. Apparently I’m missing out, so here are some tips on finding a stylist worth your driving time.

Finding a good stylist can be like searching for your next girlfriend. Ask around and find out which stylist or salon your friends use, or you can ask someone whose hair you admire. Perhaps you have seen a salon around town that looks cool and you’ve been wanting to give it a try.
