Mother’s Day gift ideas for Hipster Moms
Running out of time for gift ideas for Mom? Does Mom spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and you’d like to ‘Hip It Up’ a bit for her? Here’s some ideas for you. I know it’s a bit late, but Mom’s know it’s the thought that counts. Remember, as always, you can click on the images to enlarge them.
First is The Shredder Cheese Grater. This grater comes in different guitar styles and colors. Available from Gama-Go.com
The Hot Hits Pot Holder is also from Gama-Go.com It can be used as a trivet or as an oven mitt to pick-up hot cast iron handles.
Mix Stix are available from FredAndFriends.com They are for keepin’ rhythm in the kitchen. They have a cookin’ end, and a rockin’ end!
This EP Cutting Board does not photograph well because it is tempered glass, but believe me that it looks great on the counter! Available from JosephJoseph.com and comes in two styles to choose from.
This awesome Skull Spatula was a gift to me, so I can’t really tell you where to get it. I did a search for it, and there are a ton of different sites that sell it.
This is a box set of 7″ Records Dishes. Four dishes total, plus the awesome box. Made by Bret Bortner BIA.
And last is this Skull Salt-N-Pepper Shaker set. Sorry, that was a gift too, but I’m sure you can find it with a search.
Hope this helps. If the gift is a bit late, I’m sure your Mom will understand.
RE: email from Jack White
Mugshot
Got this email from Jack White which is pretty good… His new solo release ‘Blunderbuss‘ is awesome, by the way!
In the email there’s a link to see Jack’s interview and performance on The Colbert Report, which is hilarious. I’m not really familiar with the show because I don’t have cable, but the interview is great. As well as all the other links on the email…
Anyway, here it is…
BLUNDERBUSS IS #1
Thanks to the fans for making Blunderbuss the #1 album in the US, UK, Canada. Portugal and Switzerland! If you haven’t purchased your copy yet, pop on over and grab one here.
In case you missed the live stream of Jack’s American Express Unstaged show at Webster Hall in NYC that was directed by Gary Oldman, you can still watch select performances, trailers and short films from the event here.
Jack stopped by the Colbert Report to visit his friend Stephen last week. Watch what happens when Stephen tries to interview Jack, followed by his performance of “Freedom at 21.”
This summer Jack will be performing at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO. Tickets are currently on sale for this August 8th show.
Don’t miss out on the Third Man Records video curation. Jack and his trusted sidekicks have pulled together a diverse assortment of clips highlighting the current scene in their home of Nashville, choice cuts from their Third Man stable and golden gems from Detroit greats. Dig in.
LIGHTNING BOLT VINYL & TOUR KICK-OFF TAILGATE
We would like to officially announce what we feel is one of the most beautiful and unique limited edition pieces of vinyl we’ve yet produced here at Third Man… The Jack White Blunderbuss Lightning Bolt Vinyl. Perfect in it’s simplicity, a regular black LP with a brilliant flash of blue vinyl running throughout, these LPs are some of the most striking and interesting records we have made due to the variations produced in each individual record. Every single record is, in it’s way, one of a kind.
In our ongoing quest to explore new and innovative distribution techniques, the Lightning Bolt Vinyl will only be available via the Third Man Rolling Record Store at Jack White live dates and other RRS apperances throughout the summer, while supplies last. We will limit the amount of Lightning Bolts sold at each location to 20 in order to more effectively spread these to different territories around the United States. They will remain on sale from the Rolling Record Store as long as supplies last..
Starting with Jack White’s upcoming tour beginning on May 15th, The Rolling Record Store will be at many locations around the States this summer. Here is a look at the next batch of appearances. Many more dates to be announced very soon.
May 12 – Secret Stages Festival, Birmingham Alabama
May 15 & 16 – Third Man Records – Jack White tour launch and summer sale (more on that below!)
May 18 – 20 – Hangout Fest, Gulf Shores Alabama
May 21 – End Of All Music, Oxford Mississippi
May 22 – Vintage Vinyl, St. Louis Missouri
May 24 – Scottish Rite Theatre, Detroit MIAnd now, about that sale mentioned above! We’d like to send Jack off in style for his Blunderbuss tour with a little tailgate party here at Third Man Records on the dates of his Ryman shows. And by “party” we mean “sale”. But a FUN sale with lots of great stuff. The Rolling Record Store and some local food trucks will be parked in the lot, while in our Blue Room we’ll have tables upon tables of White Stripes, Raconteurs and Dead Weather merchandise.. all at a great discounted price. Everything from a wide assortment of T Shirts, to tiny red theramins, to buttons, bags and lots lots more. We hope any fans travelling to Nashville for what is sure to be two legendary nights at The Ryman will join us from 3pm to 7pm on May 15th and 16th.
Name That Movie
Have you seen the ads for the new book by Paul Rogers called Name That Movie? It looks great…
If you watched the video clip above, you know that he shows 6 drawings from a film, in sequence, no movie stars….and you have to name the movie. Easy enough…
Can you do this one?

I found this video in the Huff Post San Francisco edition. The video is awesome, and there’s a lot more San Francisco hipster videos at the site that are hilarious as well .
Check them out!
The Black Keys on No Reservations
I was able to check out a little cable TV the other day, and saw a preview that The Black Keys were going to be on a great show on the Travel Channel called Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. I don’t have cable TV, but some episodes are on Netflix …if you have that. You’ll probably have to wait a while for this newer episode to be added to the queue though.
If you are not familiar with the show, I highly recommend it. One thing that I remember Anthony say that I totally agree with is “Be a traveler, not a tourist.” I can relate to that completely. I love to travel, but hate tourist traps. Here’s more info on Anthony -> wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Bourdain
I was able to find a clip of the show on YouTube, but you can watch the full episode here-> travelchannel.com/video/tony-and-the-black-keys

Hip book review – Look At This F*cking Hipster
This book is excellent. From the beginning to the very last page. I literally was laughing out loud.(I know..sounds cliche, but true) It reminds me a bit of the feature in Vice magazine called DOs and Don’ts which I also recommend.
Not only are the pictures and captions hilarious, but the author Joe Mande makes some very interesting points in the chapters titled; What is a Hipster?, Celebrity Hipsters, Hipsters Through the Ages…and more! You can follow his blog, and submit photos here -> http://www.latfh.com
I will definitely be adding this to the ‘Required Reading’ section for hipster books.
Of Montreal is perfoming at The National 6/13/12
I was afraid this would happen…
I was so happy when The Norva Theater opened here in Norfolk, Virgina. From what I remember…(I can’t be bothered to do any research..geez.) the guy (Bill Reid) that opened it was part of TicketMaster and had a major part of the Virginia Beach Amphitheater being built. I seem to remember he had a falling out with TicketMaster and broke free from them, and I believe won a lawsuit…and with the monies, opened The Norva. ( I love saying ‘monies’!)
After some years of the Norva being very successful (it was named one of the Top 5 Venues in Rolling Stone a few years back), the new owner bought a theater in Richmond, Virgina called The National.
I’ve been to the National, and I really like it. I saw Pinback there. It was a former depression-era movie theater, so it has a balcony and is decorated really ornate. It is awesome…But you know what I REALLY like about the Norva (which is basically a box)? It’s 20 minutes from my house!
What I thought would happen is bands would then only perform in Richmond, and not travel all the way to Norfolk for another show. It’s easier to just hang a right after Richmond, and go to North Carolina or a left and go to Philly or New York and the rest of New England. Unfortunately it has come true. I’m not saying it’s the venue owners fault, it just sucks…
Just from the bands that are currently scheduled…here’s what I see:
- St. Vincent performing at The National in May – The Norva? No
- Puscifer performing at The National in June – The Norva? No
Last month Jane’s Addiction played The National. The Norva? No
Some bands, like Clutch, perform at both venues. They rock.
It just sucks driving an hour and a half each way (that’s 3 hours being on the road, round-trip) and you never know what the traffic is like coming thru the Hampton Roads Bridge/Tunnel. You could sit there for a hour and miss the opening band!
Now the latest news is Of Montreal is performing at The National on Wednesday June 13th 2012. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 day of the show (plus fees).
Puscifer coming to The National in Richmond 6-18-12
Puscifer will be performing at The National Theater in the hip city of Richmond, Virginia on Monday June 18th 2012.
Tickets go on-sale Friday April 27 at 10am. Tickets are $35 reserved seat balcony / $30 general admission standing floor (plus fees).
