Rare Chandeliers - Action Bronson
I simply can't stop listening to Action Bronson. The choice track from his latest free download is Sylvester Lundgren ft. Meyhem Lauren & Ag Da Coroner.
The real grower is Rare Chandeliers, almost definitely the only trap track to feature Antique's Roadshow-style samples of British people talking about antique chandeliers.
HuffPo blogger Tom Ward is a little bit obsessed with AB and has written an ace two-part blog on his favourite 30 tracks. It includes tonnes of info and lyrics.

Hanging Around Like a Bad Smell
What's the best way to endear yourself to football fans who think you are an overpaid mercenary phoning in piss-poor performances? According to elaborately coiffured QPR front man Djibril Cisse it is is launch an own-brand scent on Twitter. Way to go Cisse (NOTE THE GLOVE!) ...
Here's hoping 'Arry can find a club dumb enough to sign him in January.

Taarabt's Too Good For You
If you've not yet seen Taarabt's dreamboat of an assist for the winning goal at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night then, really, you've not lived.
From my obscenely biased perspective I would say it is the pass of the Premiership 2012/2013 season and Adel's best assist since that outside of the boot long ball to Wayne Routledge in the Championship.
Taarabt's perfectly weighted lay-off to Wright-Phillips capped what was perhaps the magical Moroccan's finest performance in the hoops; he played the unfamiliar lone striker role like he'd been doing it since he was 11 and either won a foul or found a pass almost every single time.

Engineered Garments Tool Bag
As a person who cycles to work I have little need for this 24oz melton wool tool bag from Engineered Garments. But if I rode the tube this would be my work (man) bag of choice. The purplish wool camo version is also pretty dope.
Dunno know where you can buy it but it's up on the relentlessly updated EG blog

Nouveau Western - MC Solaar
Before Thierry Henry was the coolest black French dude on the block there was MC Solaar ...
Get Free - Major Lazer
Even though I've been to Jamaica just twice I sometimes find myself missing it like I grew up there. I'm sure if I got heavily into Rastafarianism*, it'd turn out I used to be a Scottish sailor who washed up at Treasure Beach in a previous life or somesuch.
Frenchman's Cove, Port Antonio. The best beach in the world.

Glove at first sight
Wearing gloves is a total pain in the butt. You can't do anything. But, as Pippa 'Pippa Tips' Middleton would point out, they are good for keeping your hands warm when it gets cold. Here are a few mighty fine pairs ...

Present is selling 'em.
Hestra Classic Wool (and lambskin) Tricot Gloves

Epperson Mountaineering Climb Pack
Go on, just try and find me a more fun backpack than this bad boy. The reason it's so awesome? It was designed by a over-tired five-year-old who'd just had a family bag of Skittles*
Here's some blurb from Stockholm's Nitty Gritty (who stock the bag):
Epperson Mountaineering has been producing high-quality gear made in the U.S.A for over 30 years. To this day they still make their bags out of their workshop in Libby, Montana. Experiences have taught the brand to more or less only use tried and tested outdoor fabrics such as cordura nylon and leather. In other words Epperson Mountaineering luggage are built to last but also to look smart in the process. Since the company has been around for quite a while they started out before online shops and what not. In fact they originally sold their products from the back of specialist magazines by mail order, first for a small group of specialists only through today where the brand has grown to outfit a generation of new adventurers whether it’s urban or wild, natural surroundings on the exploring agenda.

This Is QPR
QPR are rock bottom of the league and eight points from safety. You wouldn't know it from this sunny-side-up promotional video just put out by the club's Stakhanovite meedjah team. It's worth a watch if only for the sight of Clinton 'elbows' Hill in a suit:
Fingers and toes crossed that QPR can beat the injury-ravaged Villans this arvo and go on a bit of a run. Relegation back to the Championship with the current wage bill would be catastrophic for the club. Go 'Arry!
