Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Moleskine    Posted date:  July 2, 2012  |  No comment



[$75] Is $75 too much to ask for a Moleskine cover? Well, depends on what you put in your notebook. But if it’s worth protecting against rain, errant drink spills and pen explosions – and you happen to enjoy the feel of first class leather – then the No. 212 is for you. (more…)

[$15] If you’re wondering why the guy pictured above looks like a total badass, it’s because he is a total badass. His name is Seasick Steve, he’s been around forever, and we forgot how awesome he was until Reddit reminded us.

Bob Dylan Box Set  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Music    Posted date:  February 6, 2012  |  No comment



[$150] Whether we’re talking about his music, or the massive amount of weed he’s smoked, Bob Dylan is on a whole other level. He’s outlasted the greatest bands of his time and still tours today, cranking out his massive catalog for a whole new generation of fans. While you’ll pay a decent price to hear it, now you can own that entire catalog plus a bunch of extras in the Bob Dylan Box Set. (more…)
