Here's the latest Hendy Boy mixtape just in time for the weekend. This time I haven't gone just for new tracks but I've also sprinkled in some old classics, with songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s (remember THEM?). I think this is my favourite mixtape yet... I hope it floats your boat too!

Shwood Sunglasses
My lovely lady friend bought me a pair of these Shwood sunglasses for Christmas, and I've been getting comments left right and centre ever since. They're handcrafted from actual wood, in a variety of grains and a couple of basic styles (including the wayfarer style which I have, below). At the risk of no longer being the only guy in town with a pair of these bad boys, I thought I'd share them with you because they're such a great product. Even the packaging was cool. They're only $95US and you can grab them from their online store.

Keenan Marshall Keller's "Galactic Breakdown"
I bought a whole stack of zines from the legends at Drippy Bone Books the other day, and one in particular blew me away. Keenan Marshall Keller, who has done some tee designs for us in the past (and hopefully the future), has created the most kickass, gorey, roided-up comic book I've ever read. "Galactic Breakdown" is about a meat head called Wally Beef aka Roids, who unwittingly gets beamed into space, and has to bust some skulls to get his way home.
Hit up their myspace to see more images and get in touch with them to get your hands on a copy. Truuust me.

This is the first single from the latest album of the same name, by Austin's The Strange Boys. More of the same killer psychedelic garage tunes as last year's stomper, And Girls Club.
Make sure you get your grubby hands on this when it comes out.

Liam The Younger - Ode To Then
Okay so I'm almost three years late with this one, but better late than never huh. There's pretty much next to no information I can track down on Liam The Younger, other than that he's a dude who plays really stripped down bedroom folk. Usually if I see those words to describe music, especially if the word "minimilastic" makes an appearance, I just assume they mean "boring". But this is really great!
And what's even better is that you can download this album (2007's After The Graveyard) as well as 2008's Clear Skies Over Black River at Brave Men Run for FREE.

I'm not even going to bother explaining this one. Props to Tom Woodcock's twitter for sharing this amazing gem with us.
