Today at 5 p.m. EST, I'll be popping into Etsy's incredibly cool Virtual Labs for an event called Shop Live. If you can snag one of the 150 spots in the room (registration is required, but so worth it) you can join me as I dish about Paste's picks for the very best animal-inspired goods on Etsy—mostly handmade stuff for ladies, guys and kids, but I'll throw in a few vintage picks, too. I'm so incredibly excited about the Etsy folks asking me to be a part of this, so I made of some of the best animal songs by our favorite animal bands to celebrate. Enjoy!
