Music the old fashioned way
I love listening to music on record players and through cds. The imperfectness of the audio is so nostalgic. I like that you don’t get the instant gratification of just hitting play on your phone. It takes time, a little effort, and that’s very cool ...
Come on. The Smith’s are objectively cool.
Strangeways, Here We Come
I love Djo’s music so much. It’s incredibly unique, and the heart and soul of it shines through in each song.
The Crux Deluxe
Well you need something to play the vinyls on! I use our record player all the time. There’s nothing quite like lining up the vinyl and letting the needle drop.
Vintage Vinyl Record Player with Bluetooth & Speakers
One of the best bands to exist. And yes, that is bias.
Cry
Again, just incredible. The songs on here are the adult version of a lullaby.
Cigarettes After Sex [CD]
The display your very cool records in your very cool home.
ELITEROO 6-Pack 12in Vinyl Record Wall Shelf
Possibly my favorite band. I will listen to their songs over and over again. I remember listening to this album nonstop when it came out.
The Dark
Incredible album. My favorite is Delete Ya, and Lonesome Is A State Of Mind.
The Crux
Because taking care of the things you own is very cool.
Big Fudge 4-in-1 Vinyl Record Cleaning Kit
“Now it’s 3 in the morning, and I’m trying to change your mind.”
My favorites on this album are of course Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High, I Wanna Be Yours, and Do I Wanna Know?
AM
There are very few things in this world that are cooler than an eclectic guitar.
Make it red? You’re in.
Fender Squier Debut Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Dakota Red
Can’t have a guitar without picks, and these are pretty spunky.
Stickpick Set of 7 Real Wood Guitar Picks
Accessories
Cool things to keep on your cool person.
Listen, I don’t condone smoking, at all. But sometimes it’s nice to have a lighter on you. I really like the design on this one.
RAW Phoenix Classic Lighter Refillable Wind-Resistant + ESD Mini Black Rolling Tray Keychain
This is one of the coolest, most unique lighters I’ve ever seen.
I think I’m in love.
Zippo Radiant Zippo Design Pocket Lighter
I tend to lean more towards western accessories like this if I’m trying to up my cool factor. A belt is always a good addition.
TRIWORKS Western Embossed Leather Belt
I don’t know I like this keychain.
OVSAL Zinc Alloy Guitar Keychain with Pick
To attach to your keys so you can hook them to your jeans. Practical, easy, cool.
Small 1.57in 304 Stainless Steel Carabiners, 10pcs
A nice staple go to hat is always necessary. I think the less flashy the cooler. In my head, cooler is trying a little less.
Carhartt Men's Cotton Canvas Cap
I love to throw on a hat for bad hair days, or days where the whole of my face is better hidden. These distressed, worn in style caps are just very cool to me and effortless
Tee Luv Vintage Dr Pepper Mesh Cap Navy
Capturing moments/ Listening to all that wonderful music
I think it’s so important to capture memories. Aiming a camera and downloading the photos later to me has nothing on snapping a quick picture on your phone.
What’s cooler than catering the moment on something other than an iPhone? As I get older, I appreciate having to put more effort into things. I think it keeps us human.
Camkory Kids Digital Camera FHD 1080P 32GB
Some of my coolest photos have been shot in a Polaroid. There’s a picture of me in a snow storm that’s up on our fridge, and I think it’s album cover worthy. These are sense of nostalgia that coats every Polaroid photo, and it’s hard to find that any...
Fujifilm Instax Mini 41 Camera Black + 20 Prints
These say “don’t disturb, I’m listening to the Smiths”
And you will in fact be listening to The Smiths.
I’ve had these bad boys for years and I love them dearly. I’m a writer, so it’s pivotal for me to be able to hear my own thoughts, and for many...
Sony WH-CH720N Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones White
