Converse: Chuck Taylor All Star - The Clash - Men's Hi Top Sneakers
1 recommendation
"Don't get me wrong. I adore my Nike sneaks. (Every single pair of them.) Couldn't run without them. But Converse has playfully transformed the blank canvas of simple sneakers, turning them into moving posters of artful self-expression. Using materials from bamboo to sequins to zippers; collaborating with visual artists, John Varvatos, PRODUCT (RED), Woolrich, the sports and entertainment indus..."
Amazon: Michael by Jason Fine - HarperStudio
1 recommendation
"Rolling Stone journalists, with a little help from industry insiders such as Stevie Wonder and Sheryl Crow, tell the full story of the man, the music and his unique magic. An up-to-the-last-minute tribute that does justice to the artist we knew as Michael Jackson . . . and leaves his fans breathless once and forever."
Amazon: Madonna - Celebration: The Video Collection
1 recommendation
"From my first glimpse of "Borderline" to my obsession with "True Blue" to the ecstatic experience of "Ray of Light," Madonna has always meant a mystical blend of word and image for me - never simply one or the other. So, although it is impossible to package Madonna herself, this DVD set is a package deal which does her living legacy proud."
Grunge

"Even though grunge has become an almost dirty word, it's still pivotal to my youth and influential to many of today's greats. This photo book is probably worth browse."

"Just can't get enough of "Bandslam," "That 70's Show," or the sound that inspired both ? Turn to this "best of" compilation for the one, the only, the original "Cheap Trick." You know you want it."
iTunes Store: Various Artists - Bandslam - Original Movie Soundtrack
1 recommendation
"Maybe high school doesn't always rock but this movie - along with its killer soundtrack - will alleviate the boredom and help put bullies into perspective. Moviegoer bonus: an abbreviated tour of CBGB's."
Not Fade Away Gallery: The British Are Coming - The Beatles and the Rolling Stones - 1964-66 - The Photography of Bob Bonis
2 recommendations
"For those of us too young to remember the young Mick Jagger; those who still cannot believe the Beatles broke up; and those who simply enjoy a splendid photograph, "The British Are Coming" exhibit at Manhattan's "Not Fade Away Gallery" will delight, intrigue and inspire. Not the least of which because admission is free."
Barnes and Noble: John, Paul, George and Ringo - The Definitive Illustrated Chronicle of the Beatles, 1960-1970 by Tim Hill
1 recommendation
"Although I have appreciated each of the Beatles individually, I am too young to have known them as they were in their heyday. This book promises to bridge that gap in musical knowledge base of several generations, with photographs and insight into the lives and stories behind the band."
All You Need Is Love - Tony Palmer
2 recommendations
"There is a code that is hidden in the music you listen to, and by the way this particular code is not made of music notes or digital polarization, the body of this code is generated from cultural, political, geographical and historical events which have been suppressed to the point that the sum of them all have become one of America's biggest national secrets. What's more is the code was cracked b..."
Joy Division: Grant Gee
1 recommendation
"It's a beautiful film, all 96 Minutes are packed full glistening image and sound, the story of the rise of Joy Division is a postmodern fable worthy of the biggest screen you can find."

1 recommendation
"An interesting read that traces the roots of garage rock (using the Detroit music scene as the main focal point). A must read for any fan of garage rock."
