Our friends over at Vice have just released a gigantopotamus [their words] of photographic gems [our words], featuring 240 glossy pictures of people by the likes of Harry Benson, Ryan McGinley, Jamie Lee Curtis Taete, Terry Richardson, ex-Warhol’s Factory guy Stephen Shore, Richard Kern, and a Japanese guy who likes to dress up as famous non-Japanese people. Yes, some people have all the fun. Oh and there are two highly collectible covers for you to track down too. Bingo.

Days Off is an incredibly catchy but smart punk band from Chicago. While they’re the best of what pop music through the ages has to offer, they’re by no means pop-punk. As infectious as their hooks and choruses are, there are enough off-kilter rhythms and complex guitar work to give their music a layered feel, putting them into a category all their own.
Chuck Wepner, Clara Rockmore, Abe Lincoln. These peeps and more are worthy of a t-shirt. Pretty Patti also sells modern postcards of vintage family members.
