While bloggers around the world are languorously trying to begin a new month, we have begun the month even more languorously. When we think about sloth, lethargy and laziness there isn’t a better month than November. With that being the case, there would always be room for some really chic furniture that would make us snuggle up in comfort and warmth through the dark and cold afternoons that November greets us with.
Egg Chairs are pretty famous already and the Sound Egg Chair which has been unveiled by Acousticom is one of the latest entrants in the business. The Sound Egg Chair makes sure you spend those cold afternoons not in just comfort but also in a sort of party mood with amazing speakers and sound quality.

If you are an AC/DC fan, you might be loving the song Stiff upper Lip. Also, you might be feeling the safest when you are in New York City, if you know what I mean.

The edition includes 47 studio and live rarities, which are remastered. The set consists of 3 CDs, 1 LP and 2 DVDs. Along with these; you would also get the Live at the Circus Krone, a 164-page AC/DC coffee table book. The Deluxe Edition costs $240 and is quite expensive for a reco0rd, but what the hell! You get a working amp along with collection just in the form of its package!

It’s a rather regular phenomenon for brand Gerlad Genta to blow their customers away with their collections of super-stylish watches. But their newest offering Arena Metasonic is even more. One look at it and you will realise the many years they must have spent developing this concept. This timepiece is symbolic for holding the company’s obessession with giving their watches a musical twist. We have seen some that repeat time at your command and even those that chime at regular intervals. If we hear correct, you get both and some more in the Arena Metasonic watch.
The frame is 46mm wide and has been made in titanium as well as other special metal alloys to achieve a superior sound quality. The case indeed must have taken a long time to design what with the highly stylized construction that includes technical looking pushers and levers. Even the manually wound movement is very complex since it can be seen through the dial and caseback right behind the sapphire crystals. You can see the cute little hammers too that beat playfully when the sonnerie is activated. We have a sneaky feeling that you might need to wind this watch quite often.
