The Varvatos Holiday 2010 catalog is available for your viewing pleasure online. Inside you’ll discover a great mix of Varvatos clothing and accessories alongside a strong collection of rock memorabilia and hifi components that complement the Varvatos style and feel. The goods are all rock proper. Take their Crocodile Accessories collection for example. The   John Varvatos Crocodile Billfold Wallet and John Varvatos Crocodile Bracelet are both strong pieces that are well unique in the menswear market .The flat matte crocodile finish allows for the wallet to break as honestly as it can. It really shines strongest against the billfold. This will look terrific throughout the year as it wears.

A “noise” machine of sorts – the Buddha 3 is the lastest incarnation of  world’s most portable loops machine.”The all-new, third-gen Buddha Machine from Beijing duo Christiaan Virant and Zhang Jian. Pure, crystal-clear melody. Four extended-play loops. Advanced 12K audio quality and “deja-vu” translucent styling make Chan Fang the freshest Buddha ever! Chan Fang, which translates as “Zen Room,” sees the duo swap drones and tones from their first two Buddha releases for unadulterated classical loops. All tracks were composed and performed on the Qin, a seven-string zither revered as the grand-daddy of Chinese instruments. Deep sonorous tuning and complex harmonic overtones give the Qin a contemplative and soothing voice.”

You may think you don’t need it, but you do. Boomkat has them.

“Issue five of the OAKAZINE explores the concept of “transformation” and thus sought out the minds and images that we feel best embody this protean, ever-evolving concept. We went out to dinner with Casey Spooner and Adam Dugas, probed the minds of the new crop of young designers coming out of seoul, talked to the singular and inspiring russian activist-cum-artist slava mogutin, visited legendary curator Lia Gangitano, chatted with the ever envelope-pushing designers Henrik Vibskov…”
