Hey kids it’s time to head back to school! And what’s more exciting than that yearly trip to the store to pick out your new lunch box? I personally can’t think of anything. But getting my hands on a bunch of new threads from Obey is definitely a close second. And what is cooler than a wall full of cool urban style artwork? Having clothes covered in designs inspired by that art. The collection includes T’s, hoodies, sweaters, hats, jackets, etc. Check out www.80spurple.com for a complete selection of the new Fall line. But not until you’re finished doing your homework. And don’t think you won’t Obey me!

Like it or not, everyone has a few skeletons in the closet and it looks like Antec has decided to sell theirs. Tentatively scheduled for release by the end of this month, the Antec Skeleton is one of the first open concept PC cases to be released. The Skeleton features a 250mm multi-speed multi-color LED fan that sits directly on top providing tremendous airflow. An additional 92mm fan sits up front keeping your hard drives nice and cool also. Uprgading is made simple thanks to the slide out component trays. No official word on price yet but the unofficial word is that it isn’t going to be cheap.

Any audiophiles out there? We hope so because the Klipsch Palladium P-39F loudspeakers were built just for you. Klipsch was kind enough to use three 9″ high output aluminum/Rohacell/Kevlar hybrid cone woofers in their design that have the ability to handle 400 watts continuous power. This means that their near “aural perfection” can be enjoyed by you and your neighbors…and your neighbor’s neighbors! Not only did Klipsh set out to make sure they were some of the highest performance speakers on the market but they also wanted to make sure they looked as good as they sound. And what better way to do that than collaborate with BMW Group DesignworksUSA on the design? Ironically, at $20,000 a pair you might be forced to make a decision between these speakers and that M5 you’ve always wanted.

It’s time to harness your inner rockstar, and wether that means actually playing something or just letting it sit somewhere that everyone can see it, this Les Paul Zakk Wylde signature axe from Gibson will help you do just that. For those of you that aren’t just posers you will be interested to know it features EMG humbucking pickups (81 & 85), an oiled raw maple neck, and multi-ply binding on the top back neck and peghead. Everyone else will be content just knowing that the black and white bulls-eye graphics, pearl inlay fretboard, and gold hardware make it look dope. Just don’t start looking for a tour manager until you’ve saved up the $6,680.00 you’ll need to buy it.

Most women aren’t into baseball or sweat stains. So it’s probably time to ditch that old baseball cap and upgr4de to something a bit more stylish like Goorin’s line of 1333 Minna hats. Each one is made using innovative fabric combinations and features contemporary urban designs from the 1333 Minna art collective. In field studies our particpants were perceieved as being an average of 94.8% cooler wearing a Goorin. All that for $63.00? Not bad at all.

I’ve always wondered what would happen if a dirt bike and a street bike fell in love and had children. In my mind it would look very similar to Ducati’s Hypermotard 1100S. While it’s styling seems to have inherited quite a bit from both sides of the family, it seems to have got it’s performance abilities almost entirely from from the street bike side. It’s 1078cc 90hp engine will have you going ‘kill yourself fast’ in the blink of an eye. The S version includes upgraded Marzocchi forks with 50mm of travel making the ride feel extra comfy. Stopping to pick up the ladies will be a breeze also thanks to its Brembo Monobloc calipers and monster discs. But what’s really most important is that if I had $14,495.00, I would buy one. Think about it…

Look out people, vandalism just got high tech! Gone are the days when the neighborhood kids just threw toilet paper into your trees. Today they have tools available to them like the new Dye Precision DM8. Capable of firing 30 balls per second, the DM8 was designed with todays top professional paintball teams in mind. The DM8 weighs 1.5 ounces less than its already anorexic predecessor. Also new are its smaller, more consistent Hyper3 regulator and Eye Pipe anti-chopping sensor. For $1400 you can play with the pro’s or just teach your neighbors a lesson.
This one is for all you wannabe producers out there. If you can cough up enough dough you can now be a wannabe producer but with real producer equipment. The Akai MPC is the tool of choice for many big name producers such as Kanye West, Dr. Dre, and Timbaland. Akai has upped the ante with its new MPC5000 by adding 8-track streaming hard disk recording, a 3-oscillator analog synthesizer with arpeggiator, and a new FX engine with 4 FX buses and 2FX per bus. I don’t know what any of that means either but it sounds really impressive!

Whoever said the South will rise again was an idiot. Unless they meant it would start producing the most badass bike I’ve ever seen. The Confederate B120 Wraith looks like the bike Darth Vader would have ridden if he hadn’t gotten his hand cut off. Buying one of these 125 horsepower industrial rockets will set you back over $60,000 but if you make the trip to Alabama and actually buy one the trip is on them! And with a top speed of 130 Mph you’ll be home in no time.
