Holiday Booty

Isn't holly poisonous?  I know it's spiky.  Figgy pudding sounds horrible

That title should up the page views huh? It's holiday time, I can tell because my co-worker is playing Christmas music non-stop, yeaahhh!!! What the fuck is figgy pudding and why would you come to my doorstep and demand some?  Just because you sing your demands doesn't make them any less demanding.  Let me try, and see if you like it.  "Now bring me your youngest daughter and a bottle of beeeer."  *Runs at the sound of sirens*  This music must stop.  I'm warning you lady subjecting me to this nonsense is like poking a bear in a cage, I am liable to...ask you to please refrain from such activity post haste. Maybe more like poking a very civilized well mannered bear in a cage, but a bear no less!! *adjusts monocle*  Either way, y'all gon make me lose my mind. How many of you muttered "up in here, up in here" to yourself? How many of you are now growling and speeding through the Arizona desert with suspended licenses?

The main reason for this post was because of the amazing online store that Boingboing featured the other day. Das Programm only features products designed by Dieter Rams, who is pretty much a god when it comes to design. His record player is my profile pic on this blog and I have pined for his stuff for years.  His work is displayed in the New York Museum of Modern Art and is also currently on exhibit at the SFMOMA.  So he is kind of a big deal.  I have no idea how these guys are able to stock an online store with his stuff, since they are literally museum pieces.  But I can tell you that I go and look at the SK5 almost every day and hope that someone else buys it so that I can stop obsessing and thinking that I may be able to obtain it.  Gaaah, can't stop drooling.

Dieter Rams, Braun SK5 (Snow White's Coffin) $1022.32

Braun RT 20 $1179.60

Braun G 11 $940.00

Braun Atelier 3 $940.00-$1570

Braun AB 22 Black and White $125

Braun ABW 30 $235-$393

Perhaps some more reasonable options for your loved ones after the jump...although if you really loved them you would get them the items above. Just saying.  *Clears space for record player*

The Goods

We be poppin tags, throwin things in bags, being Louis Vuitton Dons and shieeet  This is what happens when I don't have access to my music, or a music post seems like a daunting task.  I tell you to buy things.  It's like we are taking a trip to the virtua mall and you are my sugar daddy/mamma, can we stop by the Cinnabon stand on the way out? 

Shirts by Acrylick availabe here

Sterling silver cassette tape necklace by Minx. 20" Chain.  Available here for $40.  The very similarly styled, "Harajuku Lovers - "Hair & Makeup Girls" Boombox Charm Necklace, on Antique Silver chain."  Is $24 and can be found here.

 101 Apparel has a solid clothing line.  Kind of on that retro tip with their graphics.  "101 takes inspiration from various genres and cultures, showing influences from classic designers of the 60's & 70's such as Alexander Girard, Milton Glaser and others. Combined with an extensive background in music related design, the outcome shows a unique positive energy, color balance and treatments."
Peep their stuff here. 

I suck for not copping this when I had a chance.  Chaser LA teamed up with Technics for a line of shirts awhile back and I slept on getting this.  Now it's hard to find in my size now and is the main reason I weep at night.  Well that and the fact that my size is two hefty bags sewn together.  More of their stuff here.




Gama-Go Goodies

"From the turntable to the dinner table, this 45 styled trivet is sure to make your next green bean casserole a hit.
Molded from 100% silicone, complete with grooves. Comes in three colors, you choose.
Washable. 7" diameter."  Availble for $11.95 here. 

The Amp Mug is $12 here and the shirt below is $28 here. 

I am a fan of Gama-Go's aesthetic.  I think they have a nice design style, I am a sucker for animation infused designs.  They also have great character work and the colors pop.  Gamma-Go is a local Bay Area company, so show them some support.  "In late 2000 Tim Biskup, Chris Edmundson, & Greg Long started screen printing t-shirts and working out of the basement of Greg's house. In 2006 Tim Biskup stopped working creatively for Gama-Go. Still a dear friend and partner in the company, Tim now enjoys an illustrious career in fine art. In April of 2009 we opened our first retail store, if you're in the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco, stop by!"  Check out the rest of their stuff at their site.
