May We Suggest…a Custon Built Batpod

2011-Custom-Built-Motorcycles-Batpod Fight Crime Gotham Knight Style With The All New Custom Built Batpod

Yea, I guess that new Audi you leased is alright but you know your rolling when you score Batman’s Custom Motorcycle…and it is street legal (not really)…

May We Suggest…the iRetrofone

iRetrofone Base

If your’e debating the jump from Blackberry to iPhone (especially with the phone hopping over to Verizon real soon) the iRetrofone may just be the thing to put you over the top…now you can do business like Don Draper…no, not drunk, but with a cool, old-school looking phone.

May We Suggest…the Copenhagen Chair

1950s Leather Copenhagen Chair

As soon as I get a job as a Supervillain I am throwing the Copenhagen Chair behind the desk…or maybe you can just put it in the corner of your living room in Cobble Hill.

May We Suggest…Cameron’s Dad’s Ferrari

I cannot believe that I wasted time as a kid begging my parents for Bo Jackson Nikes, Lazer Tag and Sega Genesis when I could have held out for the Ferrari Ferris and Crew drove all over Chi-Town…damn childhood impulses.

May We Suggest…The In-Betweeners on BBC America

(This is our first guest post we have ever done and it is brought to you by our French friend, Le Foosk.)

The majority of television shows that focus on high school tend to be worthless.  There are of-course exceptions like “Friday Night Lights”, the best show on TV right now, “Freaks & Geeks”, the best show on TV ever and very underrated “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.”   Seriously, if you are not watching “Secret Life” you need to start doing so immediately.  This show is the definition of “it’s so bad it’s good, perhaps even great.”

Time to add a much needed fourth to the list.

“The In-Betweeners” (BBC America, Wed @ 930pm) is like the original “American Pie”, i.e 4 loser-ish high school dudes who only want to get laid and drink, crossed with the cringe humor made famous on the original version of “The Office.”  Sound good?  Add in the fact the guys curse like crazy, make fun of each other constantly, never get laid and are always on the verge of getting beaten up and you have comedy gold, as well as horrible flashbacks to some of your own high school experiences, unless you were one of those cool guys and if so, go fuck yourself.   Oh, and it’s a British sitcom, meaning right off the bat it will be better than roughly 80% of the shows currently on TV. 

Do yourself a favor and check it out online since the Season 2 finale is tonight.

May We Suggest…Bonobos Pants

I have been rocking Bonobos pants in the summertime since the company had a tiny little space on 16th Street (props to me I guess)…anyway they still put out the most comfortable, most stylish khakis and now they also rock dress pants, shirts and some other stuff…they have a private showroom to get fitted and you can order online…no annoying department store dressing rooms…Good looking Bonobos.

May We Suggest…a Flannel Shirt (Kind of) for Summer

 

Everyone knows the worst thing about summer is you can’t wear your flannel shirts anymore (at least not without seeming like a freak and sweating like a pig)…May We Suggest the Gant Madras Hugger…flannel look, cottony feel…now you can stop spending the summer praying for Labor Day Weekend to come.

May We Suggest…An IPhone App You Can Finally Use

Sure, using your IPhone as a light saber is super cool, but wouldn’t you rather be able to hide the number of that chick you met at Cafe Noir last night from your wife?  Introducing the Secret Contacts App for you IPhone.  This App masks your private contacts from the “prying eyes of friends, peers, co-workers and significant others.” I really just can’t wait for the Apple commercial when the voice over guy says aloud…”Wanna Cheat on your Girlfriend? There’s an App for that!”

May We Suggest…That You Go Back and Listen to the Best Album of 2006

On a particularly sleepless night a few evenings back, I stumbled across the MTV pseudo-reality show “My Life as Liz”…the show is horrific, lacks any authentic teen angst moments and, to be honest, I cannot even tell what is fake and what is real…however, in one scene Liz gets up on stage during a talent show (which may or may not have been staged to simulate reality) and sings Band Of Horses’ The Funeral, a song that broke the band and introduced us to their 2006 debut album, Everything All the Time (She actually sings the song pretty well, but then again, I think she may be an actress/singer playing the part of a “reality” star).  Before I watched Liz perform, I hadn’t listened to the album in a loooong time and I had forgotten how great it really is…so props to Liz for reminding me to go back and listen to it…now I am going to go get some literature reminders form The Jersey Shore…Holla!

May We Suggest…Opening a Bar So You Have Somewhere to Go

NiteTalk: Cabin Down Below's Jesse Malin Talks Shop

I got a buddy named Plue…or Plue Bear…or Plueasaurus…and he would like to own a bar, not just because he is a raging alchy, but for the exact same reasons that Jesse Malin (Cabin Down Below, Blackmarket, Niagara) started opening bars in the EVill…Malin’s quote, as reported by EATER, is below…all hail Malin and the Pluey Monster…

“I don’t know who Paul Sevigny is. I thought I was the new Paul Stanley. I don’t usually talk too much about the clubs. They carry themselves. But it was a good idea to take some publishing money years ago and pump it into the neighborhood you hang out in. We can play records there, dance and commiserate, and nobody tells us to go back to our room and be quiet.”
