Imaginary Shopping Spree: Ecstatic Peace!, Fieldguided
A SKATE DECK WITH A THREE-EYED CAT, WHO IS NOT NAMED MERZBOW
In one of the 8 million (or, two) "At Home with Kim Gordon & Thurston Moore" articles that've run in major magazines over the past month, there's a shot of this supersick skate deck designed by Dennis Tyfus, about whom I know exactly zero. I want it cuz it's got lots of distressed-looking ghosts, plus a big adorable three-eyed cat! I guess you could say that my skateboard's also got a cat on it, considering that I haven't used it in a thousand months and it's now smothered in Pillz's hair. And speaking of pets, Spin's story on the Gordon-Moores reveals that they've got a dog named Merzbow (as well as a dog named Syd Barrett). Do you think that, upon getting the first dog, Kim and Thurston sat around for five seconds and went, "What's the most obvious fucking thing we could name this doggone dog? Oh yeah: Merzbow!" Good grief. But, Thurston: I still 99% love you. And, Kim, I still 83% think you're mostly all right. (Liz)
SUPER-QUIRKY TIES FOR LADS AND LADIES ALIKE
This installment of my ISS portion is for those sartorially adventurous dudes out there, or for those ladies who enjoy wearing ties and want to rock some super-quirky ones. Fieldguided is an Etsy shop run by the lovely Anabela and Geoff. Anabela, who also writes an equally lovely blog, once made me a kick-ass mix CD that I still have and cherish, so I know her all-round good taste extends to nearly all areas in which it is possible to cultivate taste in. I love this May 4 tie so much that it almost makes me wish that I were an Annie Hall type who wore ties all the time. I am not, so I will have to settle for pretend-buying it for my pretend-ideal dude of the week, who is a punk rock dandy graduate student/librarian from Berlin who lives in a ramshackle 2-flat with a ton of books, records and a serious Fall addiction. He'd wear it to take me out for my upcoming birthday at Verbena, a lovely, serene Gramercy Park restaurant that is no longer open (boo!), and then take me up to the Cloisters, where the beautiful herb gardens would no doubt match his tie. Isn't it great when all of life aligns into one lovely melody? (Kat)

Got something to say? We'd love to hear it!
