THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS

STEP LIVELY Frye’s durable stompers might be all General Patton and Bret Michaels have in common. Tough new styles like this Jayden boot ( thefryecompany.com) mean you too can take your place in the great butt-kicker/hair-rocker alliance.

LEF T OF THE DIAL The i Trip Universal ( griffintechnol-ogy.com) updates Griffin’s earlier i Pod-only version to allow anything with a headphone jack to broadcast its audio through an FM radio. Goodbye, prudish local programming—hello, Cannibal Corpse!

WARTS AND ALL In Airheads, Brendan Fraser asks, “Who would win in a wrestling match: Lemmy or God?” Answer? “Trick question—Lemmy is God.” Pray to the Motörhead leader’s likeness with this Lemmy figurine ( rock-n-roll-action-figures.com).

COUR TES Y TOMM Y HILFIGER (JACKE T); COUR TES Y FR YE BOO TS (BOO T)

RAMONE ALONE Marky Ramone joined with Hilfiger Denim ( HilfigerDenim.com) to update his band’s basic leather-jacket-and-jeans uniform with studs and graphics. With matching pieces for both sexes, girls needn’t choose between ill fits and femme-y frills.

DIY OR DIE With pictures from Bad Brains gigs, scrawled notes from Glenn Danzig, and countless provocative record covers, Radio Silence (Powerhouse) offers a sweat-soaked look at the heyday of hardcore punk.
