When you think of Led Zeppelin, you don't think of polka dots. When AC/DC comes to mind, your first association is hardly "Ooh, houndstooth!" But if there's one inextricable association between a modern rock band and a specific pattern of fabric, it's definitely Pearl Jam and plaid. From their earliest days, the band swathed themselves in flannel shirts paired with those now-classic Doc Martens and raggedy, cutoff shorts. Part punk, part lumberjack, it became the definitive look of many groundbreaking grunge acts of the early '90s, but—musically and fashion-wise—Eddie Vedder and his boys from Seattle that have remained the most... read more

Right this minute, I am listening to music on my laptop's built-in speakers. I cycled through endless pairs of $10 Target earbuds until Santa Claus brought me a half-decent pair of Bose headphones a few years back, my iPod dock of choice was purchased at a store called Linens & Things, and I don't know my treble from a hole in the ground. Needless to say, I am not an audiophile. So why am I so transfixed by the Little Horn Speakers unveiled this week by Chicago-based custom guitar and amp shop Specimen? Well, just look at them. They're gorgeous.... read more

Hey, you know what are really terrifying? Giant ground sloths! If you've ever been to the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History, perhaps you had the same reaction to the skeletons of these ancient beasts as I did, which was to promptly turn around and walk slowly out of the room—eyes glazed over in horror, trained straight down at your LA Gear sneakers—and then to have horrific flashbacks for the rest your life. I'm sure the researchers who, just last week, discovered the giant underwater cave filled with prehistoric human artifacts and also dismembered giant sloth skeletons were pleased as punch... read more
