Fifteen Favorite Animal Songs by Animal Bands
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... read more

Found in: Culture, NewsFifteen Songs About The Body Parts I Might Sell Just To Own Specimen's Little Horn Speakers
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

Found in: Culture, NewsDon't Stop Til You Get Enough: The Best Michael Jackson Tribute Swag on Etsy
In life, Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, but in death he's become something perhaps even more vital for these times: an economic stimulant. His albums have literally been flying off the shelves—well, not literally flying, but literally off the shelves, with physical copies making up 82% of the sales—clinching him eight of the top 10 spots on Billboard's Top Pop Catalog Album chart the week after his death. Even the magazine industry is getting a boost (a much needed one, we gotta admit), and Lord knows how much cash has been poured into MJ tribute merchandise (official and... read more

It helps if it's nice to look at, too. So I dug into Etsy to find some more of-the-moment motivational posters to ease your daily malaise with lovely pops of color and pleasing design.
