Underoath is a solid heavy rock band. I don’t know what the cool kids are calling them today, but as Billy Joel said, “It’s all rock and roll to me”. 2006’s Define the Great Line sold a shit-ton of copies it’s first week with no promotion, and now it’s certified gold, so I think they’re doing decent.

With that being said, their new disk Lost in the Sound of Separation drops in stores today.   Lost… picks up where Define left off, dropping most of the ambiance in favor of strait up brutality.   Whenever I end up paying my bills, I’m opting for the special edition with the 40 minute ‘making of’ documentary. Check out a few of the album’s 11 tracks on their Myspace page.

Ever heard of Threadless Clothing? It’s this awesome community site where artists submit designs for sale as Prints and T-Shirts. When their design is chosen they win $500 cash and instant web-cred, but that is a story for a different day.

On August 25th they began a sale on all their T-shirts, $9-12 for ANY and ALL T-Shirts!!!! This is your chance to pick up some seriously fresh threads and wear art not advertisements! Because who the hell likes a walking billboard? Go stock up on shirts now before the sale ends September 7th!

Below are some examples of the designs Threadless has to offer.

At first this struck me as a bit rude: A web site where women sell the jewelry that their ex-boyfriends have given them. I mean, a present is a present, right? No matter how you broke up, at one point your former beau was that enamored with you enough to drop some coin on a shiny trinket, and that gift should be a memory of those happy times. Right?

But I started to see it from the other side. I am fortunate enough to remain friendly (or actual bona fide friends) with the majority of my ex girlfriends. But I know my case is more the exception than the rule. I’m sure that for some, those once-lovely diamond earrings are now a painful reminder of stillborn love. But what to do with such damaged goods? Try selling it on www.ExBoyfriendJewelry.com.

(You might want to check back with them soon. Right now the site’s shut down because of too much traffic…)

And here’s the kicker. Each piece of jewelry comes with a description, both of the item and the circumstances of the breakup. A way to hock your wares and air your grievances? Dish-dish-dish! I think site creators Megahn and Marie Perry may have struck a goldmine (should they decide to take a small cut, like eBay does).

Megahn’s kinda hot, too. I wonder if she’s into hirsute bloggers who like Gibson guitars, Indian food and casual drug use?

There’s some great shopping on there, girls! But remember, the best gifts are the gifts you give yourself.

In the first chapter of Daniel Taylor Guide to Style we figured out how to match. In chapter 2, we figure out how to buy:

1. Check out spots like Hypebeast and sneaker forums to find out what all the cool kids don’t like.

2. Go to a store to search for said items, sticking solely to the clearance and sale racks.

3. Purchase.

4. ???

5. Profit

Thanks to the homies at Trucker for the Nike 6.0 Tetris Rogans. While the haters sit in their rooms debating the difference between Dunks and Terminators I’ll be on the street wrecking P.

If you weren’t able to figure it out from the image above, all shirts at Threadless.com are on sale for $10 until Monday. Our receptionist/office manger/calendar editor/LittleJess is super excited about it. I have it on good authority that they’re both “cute” and “silly.”

But if you want to save time and frustration you might want to scroll down and use the “Find by Size” function, because several designs are sold out except XXL or some random size.
