The Rocker Dad.

Keith Richards painting, from Jesse Mosher.

Keith Richards is cool. And this Keith Richards original painting (on repurposed plywood), from Etsy artist, Jesse Mosher, is perhaps even cooler. Dads are nowhere near this cool. Nevertheless, what rocker dad wouldn't appreciate an utterly cool Father's Day gift like this?

Part of our week long "Gifts For Dad" series. More dad-centric finds all this week!

Rock 'N' Roll Road Trip.

U2 ticket stub coaster, from Blue Order.

"Elvis with Parrot" acrylic on canvas, from Aaron Reichert.

Print (from Radiohead lyrics), from The Big Harumph.

"Marina Towers" print, from Chasing The Light.

Many of my favorite road trips were inspired by music:

1. U2, Charlotte. A 6-hour drive in heavy rain. The best concert I've ever witnessed. I got so hot that I ditched my sweatshirt inside the arena. I also took a 2-minute leak in to an overflowing toilet.

2. Graceland, Memphis. A 15-hour drive that ended with an overnight stay in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches definitely helped our weariness the next morning.

3. Radiohead, Washington, D.C. A 2-hour drive (again, in pouring rain) that unfortunately ended in a canceled concert. However, we had the best 8-hour, Georgetown shopping experience the next day.

4. Wilco, Chicago. The cover of "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" inspired this particular (post-break-up) 14-hour road trip. My heartbreak was cured with a Cubs game, lots of beer, and the best hot dog I've ever eaten.

Part of our extended "Road Trip" series. More finds (and memories) from the road, all this week!

Rubber Stamp Nirvana.

Hand-carved Kurt Cobain stamp, from This is Just to Say.

Just discovered an awesome shop out of Stockholm, Sweden: This Is Just To Say. I love the geekery and playfulness of their hand-carved stamps. I dig 'em all! But I especially favor the "Happy Whatever".

We hope you've enjoyed our "It’s A Small World" series this week. Have a wonderful weekend!
