Last week our friends over at The FADER Magazine made history when they released their entire summer issue as a high resolution PDF. It was available as a direct download or through iTunes like a Podcast. It was definitely a nice thing to do for regular readers, allowing us to take a peak before it hit newsstands– I’d like to call what we saw last week the first ever Zinecast. In the same summer spirit, this week they released a Podcast mixing music from the current issue. It’s available for free as a download from iTunes. Featuring everyone from cover artists Rick Ross and Nina Sky to the lesser known artists, it’s nice to read the Zinecast and hear the tracks at the same time. Full track list and download instructions here.

We’ve been big fans of Nixon watches for a long time, but nothing was ever really father friendly until now. The Capital is the perfect watch for Dad this fathers’ day–with a bit of class while still retaining the signature Nixon look. It’s made of 100M Stainless Steel, Crystal Face, and 3 Hand Japanese Quartz. As Nixon says, The Capital, there’s ‘nothing lowercase about it’. It’s also available with Black, Brown/Blue, Gray Pink, and White faces. Tell dad to ditch the old Timex and get with the times!

We have been playing with our Sonos bundle for the past few weeks– and while we plan on doing a more in-depth review here’s the bottom line: This might be the best father’s day gift ever. Order one today and you get completely free shipping.

Get your Father the first wireless, multi-room digital music systems and he’ll have no choice but to digitize that old 8-track collection. It’s extremely simple to use, which bodes well for the non-tech savvy Dad, and works right out of the box, all you need is an internet connection and a router, Everything from Coletrane to Zeppelin will be in the palm of his hand and thanks to the Sonos ZonePlayers you don’t have to worry about being woken up while you’re home visiting for his special day! The controller alone is worth inviting the neighbours over to show off. In honor of Father’s Day, Sonos is making it even easier to give your Dad the best sounding gift ever by shipping all systems free of charge! Just make sure you get your order in by the end of today (June 15) and they’ll take care of the rest!

Every Dad should have a classic set of pens and no, the gold and silver clad duo from the ‘80’s that bare his company’s old logo don’t count! Instead, fill his pocket with the elegant LAMY Studio fountain or ball point pen. With a beautiful brushed stainless steel finish and a clip that is reminiscent of modern sculpture, your Dad will have every one of his colleagues pondering where he got that magnificent writing instrument, and of course he’ll throw kudos your way! Functional design combined with quality construction, the LAMY Studio shows with great elegance just how close design and art can become. Gorgeous stuff!

Formed in October 2004, What’s Really Good Magazine distributes content exclusively through email as well as their website. The independent, underground roots of the magazine helps it reach its target audience and deliver to them the content that industry insiders might be unwilling to give to a more commercialized publication. One such example is WRG’s Interview A Day series, which began in May. Though, not an original idea (see: Crooked Tongues, Kix in the City, Weekly Drop etc), what sets Interview A Day apart is the sheer volume and magnitude of the interviews and interviewees they were able to obtain. Delivering a dynamic selection that ranges from DJ’s (A-Trak) to top-tier stores (Commonwealth), WRG has something for everyone. Though the interface is a little cumbersome and hard to navigate, set aside some time to check out. You might be surprised at what you learn and the impressions you’ll leave with.
