    MOUSTACHE BALACLAVA
Special Selection October 08 Vik Prjonsdottir is a Icelandic clothing designer, who has created a variety of items that will likely end up here. When I see this beard cap, it makes me want to go back to high school and strangle my home economics teacher. I mean, I learned to knit... but I never dreamed knitting could have been my path to greatness. Vik has done something here that can not be taken lightly. If you head off to the mountain with this on, is there any doubt you will have more fun, have better adventures and meet more interesting people? Its like, this cap is a reality filter. I feel like with it on, everything I see would instantly be more awesome. P.S. Efrivararskegg! meet Hat. Vik Prjonsdottir is a trend setter extraordinaire. Her 'Beard Cap' has already swept the knitting nation! Friends at feather and fan blog have even created a version with it's own secret pocket.

I agree this isn't the quintessential Johnny Cash song. I think what's awesome about it though is that he was like 70 years old, a country and rock and roll legend; and he decided to do a cover album of some really great work by artists 40-50 years younger than him. (and in more than a few cases he did better jobs than the original artists.) About that time he was showing up to play a couple of songs at a number of Beck concerts. Three or four years ago one of my clients, a hip skateboard/snowboard/surf brand decided to play only Johnny Cash on their phone system. He was a relevant musician for 50+ years, to generation after generation of listeners. I think that is what is so awesome about him, I think he transcended above every other artist born within 20 years of him.

I agree with you. I mean you could do Folsom Prison Blues or Boy Names Sue, but What other 70+ year old man do you know that could pull of Nine Inch Nails?
reply
I agree, there is some classic stuff, but Hurt was awesome.
reply
Johnny Cash was certainly awesome, but I'm not sure this was the most awesome of song selections.
reply
remember, the song isn't nominated, Johnny Cash is..
reply
The couch dress was accidental. It was like she was quilting and then messed up and ended up with a dress. The Moustache Balaclava required vision. Winner.
reply
I seriously need one.
