» Black Hole by Charles Burns

I've had my head wrapped around this guy's work for years, and for some reason I've never owned this title. I really have no explanation for why, and I feel kinda embarrassed about it. So yeah, this year is the year it will be mine. (link)

» REBEL8 Blacked Out Cap

REBEL8 again working with Mike Giant delivers maybe my fave hat ever with this flexfit black-on-black piece. With the '8' on the front and Giant's ink on the underside of the bill, this shit's tight like Knox. (link)

» Street Trash

Bums melting into rainbow sludge, femur-bone knives, creepy junkyards, hilarious gore, a game of penis keepaway, and piles of over the top gooey nastiness, this flick is b-movie infamy all centered around some kind of radioactive or fermented Thunderbird knockoff called Tenefly Viper. You heard me, it's EVIL HOOCH BITCH! (link)

» AC/DC : Plug Me In (2 DVD set)

Two DVDs full of 50 or so performances clocking in at 5+ hours of live AC/DC footage. Spanning from '75 to 2003, a lot of the footage is grainy and dark, and the sound is lo-fi to match, but the sheer force, the unnerving badassness of it all is so palpable it's just imposible to stop watching. Essential. I mean, if you were gonna buy some girl a stupid necklace or something, just man up and buy her this. If she hates it, dump her. (link)

» "Backyard Shakedown" from Upper Playground & FIFTY24SF Gallery

It's a book of lowbrow photography. Really good lowbrow Juxtapoz-type photography. What can I say? I mean, it looks great, the photos are amazing. There's tits in it. Get it. (link)

» Titty City Zine

And speaking of tits... Not only is Titty City kinda like the best name for a 'zine this decade, but it's not even being ironic - it really is full of normal 'ol girls with normal 'ol boobs. The really hot tattooed dive-bar kind that would never liek you. So here's their tits, live it up. (link)

» Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series

I know there are hundreds of DVDs out there to buy this year, important art films, box-office blow-ups, hilarious stoner fodder, scads of slasher fun, wicked camp and so forth, but really the complete Planet Earth DVD set is kinda really better than any of them. What plot is better than a shark eating a seal in high-def?!?! I'm sure you already know what it is, but trust me that I'd let many of my classic all-time fave DVDs slip away before I'd let this one ever out of my grasp... (link)

» Mike Giant: Muerte (36 Chambers)

More from Mike, his new Muerte book. 36 pages, each one a full-page illo from MG. A must-have for me. Period. (link)

» Outlaw Print Co. T-Shirts

Winged babes on bikes with panthers on a leash bursting thru brick walls, interspace brain guardians, owl-deer wizards, stardusted dark arts lions... Outlaw does bonkers t-shirts right. (link)

» Canon PowerShot G9 12.1MP Digital Camera

Long story short, it's the shit. It's about 7 steps up from a plain 'ol point'n'shoot, and only 1 or 2 steps shy of a fancy-schmancy D-SLR. Bells, whistles, it's got 'em, but beyond that it's a solid shooter that will do damn near anything you need it to. <(link)

» Ale Swearengen Beer Holster

Quit being a just a boring beer-drinker and turn yourself into a "Fuck!"-utterin' whore-mongerin' old-west beer-slinger with a personalized leather holster to slap on your hip and hold your bottle of backyard booze.(link)

» Hey Fudge! by Travis Millard

I already have this, but it's so good I want another one just to keep on the shelf in case my first one gets stolen, which if my friends are as cool as I give them credit for being, it will. I love everything Travis Millard puts on paper. All of it. Test me. The book is super-perfect in every way - get it for anyone you know who likes to draw, scribble, or jerk off to drawings cooler than they could ever imagine. (link)

» My Life in a Jugular Vein

Years 4-6 of Snakepit, a 3-panel daily autobiographical comic by Ben Snakepit. Follow Ben through his daily adventures of touring with his band, smoking lots of weed, riding his bike, getting drunk, eating lots of Mexican food, falling in and out of love, traveling the world, working various bare-minimum jobs, and pretty much partying his way thru every single day's 3 frames. I tore thru this book in record time and came out of it feeling like I had a new friend. I can't wait to give it to someone else so they can meet Ben as well... (link)

» I Could Tell You but Then You Would Have to Be Destroyed by Me

Subtitled 'Emblems from the Pentagon's Black World', this is a book compiling photos and info on seventy-five patches from various deep, dark US military units such as the 'Goat Suckers' and 'None of Your Fucking Business'. Using hundreds of Freedom of Information requests, the author has compiled as much info on these patches and their units as possible, making for a very interesting read. (link)

» Death / Traitors

Their website sucks right now, but these dudes are making the t-shirt equivalent of a scummy NYC night of liquor & 40oz drinking, bike-riding, fist-fighting and puking in the window of some old man's car as he drives by you scared shitless. (link)

» Flying Coffin Versus Tee

How can I put this? It's a graphic of a mother-fucking robo-bear fighting a mother-fucking cyber-cobra. In the (mother-fucking woods). Exxxxtreeeeeeme! (link)

» HelloMinor 'Bad Meat' Tee

HelloMinor have a solid rep for making at least one tee every season that is Thee Muste-Have Garment, and here it is. Can you argue with me? You can't. Girls, guns and a dead deer tied to the front of a wicked muscle car. It kinda makes you just wanna go, "Okay, that's it, they finished up this whole tshirt thing," like when some dude stuck the last brick in the Great Wall, God figured out how to make trees and animals work, or that guy in that commercial says he "finished the internet."
