THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS

SKIN TIGHT

Playboy asked 20 music-

ians to create limited-

edition Rock the Rabbit

T-shirts (available at

Bloomingdale’s). Using the

classic bunny logo as inspi-

Iggy Pop (left) to a colorful

version by Hot Chip, who

BEST BUDS

Get one step closer to the

ultimate dream of having

i Tunes implanted into your

skull: With Sennheiser’s MX

W1 wireless earphones

( sennheiser.com), you can

and everything (pitch bend, cross-

faders, loop controls) that comes

With the same cool, wry tone that

ALARMING TREND

Galaxie 500 and Luna, singer/song-

Fall asleep to a movie, a TV

show, or a You Tube clip of

writer Dean Wareham shares every

playful puppies and wake

detail—from band bickering to

adultery to record-label lunacy—in

up to music with iHome’s

L-shaped iH41BR pivoting

Black Postcards (Penguin), a pain-

alarm clock (ihomeaudio.

fully honest memoir about his not-

quite-meteoric rise from Harvard

iPod Touch. Not great for

undergrad to indie-rock sensation.
