Products / Vintage Rolexes
I recently bought a 1960 Oyster Perpetual Datejust and I love it. I did a lot of research before deciding what to buy. I wanted something classic and elegant, but not fussy. A vintage Rolex doesn’t look too over-the-top new money, like a Jacob the Jeweler blinged-out timepiece. Its a gentleman’s watch.

Scott Sternberg created the great Los Angeles label, Band of Outsiders, and it’s one of the few labels that fit a little guy like me perfectly. I live in BOO shirts. They are my second skin.
I downloaded the second season of Weeds and watched it on a long plane ride recently. The show is very provocative. It pushes a lot of moral boundaries but does so with an absurd sense of humor. They used my song ‘Gamble Everything for Love’ in a scene where a 16-year-old boy is making a pin hole in his condom to try and get his 16-year-old deaf girlfriend pregnant so she won’t go away to college. Funny, that’s the exact scenario I pictured when I wrote it!
Rickie Lee Jones put out an album recently called The Sermon on Exposition Blvd. It’s a concept album — the story of Jesus told from his perspective. But it’s not Christian Rock, it’s sleazy, and real, and full of confusion. I hear she improvised a lot of it. It’s really spiritual. And her voice has never sounded better.

I never thought I’d like a Rolex… with them looking all big clunky and gold, but having seen some vintage ones… promising myself one for my 40th birthday. Should give me enough time to save up.
HAVE YOUR SAY
I’ve been waiting for a group like this. These New Puritans are balls in your face, 100 miles an hour, pure attack! A young British group that has most of the UK press in the palm of their skinny pale hands, they hint at a sonic mash of Bloc Party mixed with what White Rose Movement were supposed to be. What more could you want?
Listen to the These New Puritans track, Elvis.
