Drink enough of this stuff and chances are you’ll feel a little green around the gills. Well, 360 Vodka have beaten you to the punch.

So while it isn’t strictly organic, it is a ‘green’ vodka and as such, a giant, wobbly step in the right direction.

 

What could say ‘redneck’ more than a miniature MMA throwdown cage bed for your children? Just be aware that if you get this, you’re laying the foundation for your kid to become the next backyard wrestling champion, so stock up on folding chairs, thumb tacks, and Asprin.

My friend and fine artist Sara Wolfe sent me this link of Chicago based artist Diego Leclery. He created this flash animation Panda, to celebrate the recent Beijing Olympics. He initially said he would take it down after the closing ceremony, but it is still up, so watch this cool one before it’s gone!

Despite their jarring name, British noise duo Fuck Buttons are surprisingly palatable. The band’s long, droning tracks are infused with sweet twinkles and sunny synth, but dark shards of ominous guitar overdrive and distorted screeches pierce the shimmering surface just when you’re ready to zone out. Danceable beats occasionally draw everything back together, creating a stormy, pulsing, and disorienting atmosphere.

How neat is the ‘Duna Duna’ Jaws parody shirt by Threadless designer vomitinc? In case you were wondering, the name cleverly evokes the iconic shark movie title’s killer theme song tune.

Sometime in 2010, the folks behind Dirty Dishes had the slightly silly idea of using cheeky vintage photos and putting them on dinner plates. After doing lots of research, talking to lots of people, and receiving loads of positive feedback, they wondered if this idea was so silly after all. And thus Dirty Dishes was born. Read more
