ChumBuddy was originally 100% hand sewn and was made from fleece and felt. It’s actually filled with around 30 pounds of poly-fill, and thus far making shipping a bit of an issue. Unfortunately you can only get yourself a ChumBuddy to sleep with if you live in the continental United States. He only travels by ground due to his weight and size, but the shipping is free.

You can look for this jawsome piece of work to start shipping around the 4th quarter of this year and you can preorder it through Patch Together now for $199.95, which may sound like a high price, but remember it is hand made, 7 feet, made from fleece, and the shipping for that 30lb bad boy is already included with that price, so it really is not that overpriced after all.

The Dead Weather are set to play Prospect Park Bandshell August 3rd, in a concert to support free shows at Celebrate Brooklyn Performing Arts Center. Tickets on sale today, May, 7, at noon for $37.50. Grab your ticket at the Bowery presents before it is gone!

In case you don’t know, The Dead Weather are a brand new rock outfit consisting of Dean Fertita, Jack Lawrence, Alison Mosshart and Jack White. The impetus for the band came when Mosshart’s band The Kills opened on a few US tour dates for The Raconteurs. Recognizing immediately the musical synergy between Mosshart, White and Lawrence, the trio devised a plot to record together during some down time in White’s own Third Man Recording Studio in Nashville where White enlisted the addition of erstwhile Raconteurs’ touring accomplice and Queens Of The Stone Age collaborator Dean Fertita. What was initially imagined as a one-off collaboration for a 7” single release turned into a full blown album project once the quartet switched on the recording tape. The Dead Weather’s menacing sounds were so electrifying that they couldn’t help but keep the tape rolling. In three weeks they had recorded a full length album, Horehound produced by Jack White, to be released on White’s Third Man Records in June. The album features the band’s explosive debut single, “Hang You Up From The Heavens”, which is currently available through iTunes, backed with a dirge driven cover of Gary Numan’s “Are Friends Electric?”
