Because I sit in front of a computer almost all day long (which explains my pear-shaped form) and stream the World's Greatest Radio Station, I'm constantly exposed to a multitude of amazing emerging musicians and bands. KEXP played Frank Turner at me earlier in the week and based on that single 3:26 exposure, I immediately sought out his new release, Poetry of the Deed. The fact that the album is distributed in the US on Epitaph should tell you a lot about him right away. Based on the couple listens I've been able to squeeze in, Turner is working a vibe that combines Billy Bragg with Dropkick Murphys, a combo of punk rock passion and Irish soul. Tracks on the album run the gamut from singer/songwriter solo strumming to full-blown rock power. Favorite line thus far: "And there’s no such thing as rock stars, there’s just people who play music, and some of them are just like us, and some of them are d**ks."

Oh, Mega Man. If I purchased every cool Japanese Blue Bomber toy, I would be superbroke and my office would be even more dorky than it currently is. Fer instance, in the Land of the Rising Sun and Awesome Toy this month, Mega Fans will be able to purchase Mega Man Be@rbricks. I don't even understand why I'm so drawn to little toys like this, but since I'm pretty much completely controlled by my id, I don't fight it or try to understand. Instead, I just roll with my initial instincts, which sound like: DO WANT!! See more images of the minifigs on Collect3D.
