Rocking Your Stocking- A Few Finds For The Holidays and To Rock Your New Year
I Love Sharing Cool Finds
That’s why I started my “Bark Stage Pass” Section Of My Website- and please note, that everything I include I use, love and recommend. I also include lots of cool pet related items because as many of you know Rosie Carr is my boss and what she likes matters too!
1. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab
Mobile Fidelity (or Mofi) has been the pioneer and leader in audiophile recordings since 1977.
Here is how they describe what they do –
“Renowned for its commitment to uncompromising quality and preserving the artist’s original intent, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab makes the world’s best-sounding vinyl LPs and Super Audio CDs (SACD). Fiercely independent since 1977, the record label pioneered the concept of audiophile reissues. It has released the definitive versions of many of the greatest albums in history — a practice that continues amid a growing catalog that encompasses more than 600 releases.” –
I have many of their recordings – They are masterful. Check out their website and become a fan too! https://mofi.com
2. Jersey Metal
What can I say about a book that feels like it speaks only to me? However, you don’t have to be from New Jersey to LOVE what Jersey Metal has to offer. A chronicle of the INCREDIBLE Heavy History of my home, the state of New Jersey put together by Alan Tecchio and Frank White, two people who lived it as well. There is so much to unpack with this incredible collection. And the book is beautiful in its presentation. Makes a KILLER gift. The film is coming too. I can’t wait – (I’ll be making a cameo!) https://jerseymetalbook.com
3. Portraits By Brian
I first met Brian at a radio station event I was hosting and his work is beautiful, impactful and has brought me so much joy. He specializes in customs created with graphite pencil, charcoal, colored pencil and pastel pencil. All drawings are done on high-quality, smooth bristol paper. I have many beautiful creations. His rock portraits are tremendous. My Bon Jovi ornament is on my Christmas tree now and Keith graces my walls. You can find Brian’s work all over social media as well – (Facebook and Instagram accounts) and here is his official website- https://portraits-by-brian.weeblysite.com
4. Clarks Barks- A Children’s Book Written By Ben Wells Of Black Stone Cherry
I love Ben from the band Black Stone Cherry. A fantastic guitar player, person and huge animal lover. I call him “Beagle Ben” as he has three Beagles that he adores and his second “Beagle Book” about his pup Clark is out NOW! It’s perfect for any child on your holiday list. Ben and his wife have many ventures too including their “Sunny and Stoked” clothing line and you can grab Ben’s books at bookstores everywhere and Amazon too! Just search Ben Wells Books.

5. Redbubble
I have to admit, I have a very cool T-Shirt collection. Super unique designs too, artists from every genre that I love, some don’t exist anymore, some not selling merch. I’m often asked where I get my stuff. REDBUBBLE – https://www.redbubble.com– Made by independent artists from all over the country, the designs are endless, tapped into the fans, products unlimited. A fantastic site.
