Champagne Champagne permalinkTogether, DJ Gajamagic, Pearl Dragon and Thomas Gray are Champagne Champagne, an hip-hop/whatever they wanna do group that keeps it poppin’ better than a bottle of André Cold Duck.

Mike Leavitt permalinkThough best known for his cardboard sneakers, the rest of artist Mike Leavitt’s work is just as jaw-dropping, like hand-sculpted synthetic polymer clay action figures, painted pennys, and turtles created from salvaged road debris. Much of it, like this Kermit the Frog painted on a found guitar pick, is for sale at a pretty reasonable price. It’s the perfect present for the art-, recycling- and Muppets-loving guitar player in your life. |

Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head permalinkWe’re pretty much into any band that sings about fruit snacks and describes themselves as “a delicious explosion of freak-dance fruit pie”. Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head are on a mission to make the booty bounce and CSS asked them to open up for them on tour so you know they’ve got that magic stuff.

Trophy Cupcakes and Party permalinkTis the season for holiday-inspired cupcakes from Trophy Cupcakes and Party. We think we would choose chocolate candy cane. Or maybe bourbon eggnog or gingerbread or candied yam or snickerdoodle or…let’s be honest, we’d get a whole dozen.

Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co. permalinkThe Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co. is the “faux” storefront that houses the Seattle outpost of Dave Eggers’ 826 Valencia project, a nonprofit writing and tutoring center dedicated to helping youth improve their creative writing skills. Eggers’ altruistic impulses don’t stop there: His latest book, What Is the What, is the novelized autobiography of Valentino Achak Deng, from his pre-war life in southern Sudan to his resettlement in the United States. All proceeds from the book go to aiding the Sudanese in America and Sudan. |
