This German-designed coatstand recently caught my eye, but since I couldn't read the copy, I turned to my German husband to translate the text: Since David O. doesn't just trump us with his stool made of inflatable swimming wings, here we have another design from the young designer from Cologne. He thinks it would be a waste to just place sod shovels (pitchforks) in the garden. From the Read more

Starting Dec. 26, the day after Christmas, I'll be posting my picks for BuzzSugar's Top Albums of 2006. But until then, there are plenty of other best of lists to keep you occupied, so I'm posting a few of my favorites for your reading/arguing enjoyment. It has been a rather strange year for music, and the diversity of these lists reflects that. Pitchfork Top 50 Albums of 2006 Top 5: The Knife, Read more
Though I'm planning to bring you BuzzSugar's best albums of 2006, here's one list I don't have covered: the 25 worst album covers of 2006, brought to you by Pitchfork.

For instance, I almost didn't buy this Read more

I'm always leaving my gardening tools in random spots — leaned against the trees, tucked onto a bench, or abandoned in an actual garden bed. I know, not cool. Even though we have a gardening shed, it's rarely used for actual tool storage. I have a sneaking suspicion that if I invested in a few of these Flora Grubb Wall Ornaments ($9 each), I'd get organized in a flash. Easy to mount and Read more

Angelina Jolie had a girls-only afternoon in LA yesterday. She stepped out to shop with daughters Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Zahara Jolie-Pitt at Ozzie Dots. Shiloh left the store, one of Angelina and Brad Pitt's favorites, with a plastic pitchfork in hand. Angelina, Shiloh, and Zahara landed at LAX together last week after spending the past month in Malta, where Brad was shooting World War Z. He's Read more
