It's Time to Free the Bees
(13 May 2005) - A Band of Bees wants you to Free the Bees. On their second full-length album, the Isle of Wight duo returns, not only to the fold but also to some classic rock roots. I don’t really remember liking the Bees music in the past, but the first time I put on Free the Bees, something was different. I was immediately drawn in to their...

A Good Reason To Get Your Clothes Dirty
(15 April 2005) - Kenmore HE4T is one of the best-looking machines on the market. It has a very retro vibe with snappy colors with sophisticated names (ok, maybe they took a cue from J. Crew): Sedona, Bisque and Pacific Blue are just a few. But most impressive is the actual girth of the interior – the HE4T claims it can clean 23 large bath towels in one...

Tretorn Nylite
(16 March 2005) - The Tretorn Gullwing Nylite first hailed from Sweden in 1964. It was THE tennis shoe to wear in the 70s and lost ground in the 80s with the rise of you-know-who. Now, over 40 years later, the original is back along with some reinterpreted cousins. I think it's all about the elegant simplicity of the Nylite, but you can check out the entire collection...

Lacoste Goes Retro
(24 February 2005) - I've worn the Lacoste polos for as long as I can remember and have been wondering why they haven't brought back the classic 3 button, slimmer fit, long tail style that I've always preferred. The wait is over-- the more mod style comes back for Spring in more than a dozen colors (navy, white, pink and black are the best). The shirts are noticeably...

Futuro House
(03 February 2005) - Without a description of these pictures you might think I spotted a UFO, but this is actually a house by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen. The Futuro House is in San Diego, and is one of 20 that were ever built. Suuronen designed them in 1968 as ski-cabins or holiday homes, they were completely furnished and were made to accommodate 8 people. The owner of...

The Art of Puma
(09 December 2004) - The Art of Puma is a basic white high top with 80s style illustrations that will be released exclusively in Japan, UK , Germany and France. Neither subtle nor sexy, they do embrace a certain creative chaos circa 1988. They also further today's notion that white high tops are canvases.

Ball Droppings
(13 May 2004) - Somehow I missed this when it went around in the beginning of the year. Regardless, it's fantastic. BallDroppings, by Josh Nimoy, is a highly addictive musical play toy based on the simple principles of the original computer game, Pong. By drawing lines you manipulate where dropping balls bounce, and with every bounce a musical note is played. Be sure to check out jtnimoy.com for...
