The List

Wear: Momotaro Denim's Vintage Collection

From a super-exclusive Japanese jeans-maker whose wares're normally $2,000/pair, Momo's new Vintage Label's a refreshingly less-pricey batch of selvage, all made from 100% Zimbabwe denim that's hand-woven and dyed (using techniques developed in 17th-Century Japan), then washed once in the Seto Sea; the all-indigo collection includes a handful of cuts like the Vintage Slim, Vintage Tight, and the "Going To Battle" Slim, featuring a Samurai Warring Stripe design on one back pocket, which they claim represents "Strength, Durability, and Honor", so next time someone challenges your character, you can just nobly point to your ass.

Listen: AC/DC Box Set Amp

Showing up pretty much every music box set ever, this new collection of live and studio rarities comes packaged in a box with a built-in functional speaker resembling a vintage AC/DC guitar amp, whose top lifts off to reveal a treasure of 3 CDs, 2 DVDs, an LP, a coffee table book, and reproduced band memorabilia like buttons, guitar picks, and a temporary tattoo, which is about as rock 'n' roll as things get.

Sheathe: Custom Skins

Put just about anything on just about anything (from cell phones, to MP3 players, to laptops) by creating a fully-custom, removable decal using this super-simple widget: just upload any photo, then use MS's tools to choose your size and position -- although if it's Fred Savage, there's no chance that'll be missionary, cause that dude's got moves.

Wrap your gadgets in your own steez with a skin from Music-Skins.com

Measure: Cassette Tape Measure

Perfect for all stealth surveying sessions, this functional 6' 6" tape measure's coiled inside a plastic faux cassette tape and reads in both US and metric units, though the makers oddly warn the metric system gives off "an electric or trip-hop vibe", finally confirming Moby as the reason America won't switch.

Regular tape measures are boring. Get a cool one at Gama-Go.com

Learn: The F***ing Word of the Day

Vastly improve your vocabulary with irreverent language lessons from a blog that follows the mantra "it's easier to learn with sex, drugs, and f***ing swearing". Every day delivers a new word/definition, then uses it in a sentence you can fully understand, i.e. for "turbid": "Hey sh*thead, change the f***ing bong water, it’s turbid", guaranteeing that in no time, you'll be an articulate degenerate.
