King Jammy's
Why is it that every time I go to your house there are no books? This 150-page visual history of '80s-era Kingston is a must have for anybody who's feeling the dancehall vibe. Put your roots down before you go out and buy that Sean Paul CD.www.turntablelab.com
Denon DN-S5000 Table Top CD Player
The new Denon player features a "motor driven active platter" that provides the ultimate feel for true vinyl emulation and a "Hot Disc" mode, which lets the CD you've ejected keep playing for 35 seconds while you find and cue another disc. I didn't go to college, so you'll have to tell me how that shit works.www.pssl.com
Toshiba SD-P2000
There are two things I recommend for long flights (although ask you physician first): Tylenol PM and portable DVD players. Although Toshiba doesn't do anything to get you into business class, it will give you a huge, great-looking, 16:9 progressive-scan screen and a strong compatibility for multiple-disc formats to pass the time.www.toshiba.com
Sony DCR-IP55
Although Sony doesn't break any technology barriers with this 1-megapixel resolution and 10X-zoom camcorder, it has a really cool fold-down handle. Your parents will think you took their old 8mm out of the closet and are going to make greasy '70s porn. Just like they did.www.sonystyle.com
Aeron Chairs
If you bought $500 Sparco seats for your hour-long commute, but sit in a crappy chair for 8 hours of work, then you're probably not alone. The Aeron Chair will help your aching back with a design that gives superior comfort and body support, leaving you well rested for your drive back home.www.hermanmiller.com
Archos Jukebox Multimedia 20 (w/photo module)
Although the Archos Jukebox is labeled an "MP3 Player," it's use isn't as limited. With the ability to store digital photos, video and the usual MP3s, it's got you covered for any sort of media you would carry around. It is also Firewire compatible, so it takes less time to dump all your "borrowed" music when the federal government comes knocking.www.archos.com
2k T-shirts
It is a common known fact that girls hate guys that wear T-shirts from the Gap, Banana Republic and Abercrombie & Fitch. Girls are all about guys who are into art and design and more sensitive things like that. 2k will set you up with the right stuff ,as well as give you a history lesson in pop art in case you're quizzed.www.2ktshirts.com
