The Fiv5: Your Weekend Shopping List

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 10/17/09 @ 7:00 AM - altpress.com

Cash burnin' a hole in your pocket? Each week, we spotlight five hot, new products that we'd buy if we had the loot. But we got into journalism, so...

1. MUSIC: THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK
(Chop Shop/Atlantic)


While you've still got a month until you can revel in all the vampirey glory of New Moon the movie, you can get in on New Moon the soundtrack right now. Featuring tracks from Death Cab For Cutie, Thom Yorke, the Killers and more, you're seriously going to consider biting someone-but happily.


2. THREADS: CONVERSE ONE-STAR '74 COLLECTION


While you were probably nowhere near a glimmer in your parents' eyes in 1974, you can prove to them that everything about your culture isn't completely foreign to them. Converse has brought back their iconic One Star line with six sick color schemes. (Explain to your parents that "sick" is a wonderful thing.)


3. DVD: DRAG ME TO HELL (Universal)


Written before he got hooked up with Spider-Man, Drag Me To Hell is director Sam Raimi's first horror since the Evil Dead movies. Ever wonder what it would be like to be pulled into the depths of Hell for all eternity? Wait, no, you've had algebra class before...









4. GAME: BRUTAL LEGEND (EA)


So why did Jack Black walk onstage at the VMAs dressed like a roadie? Because he was pimping his game, Brütal Legend, about a true metal god thrust into a crazy underwold filled with amazing graphics, genuinely hilarious moments and, well, Ozzy Osbourne.









5. BOOK: THE WILD THINGS FUR-COVERED EDITION (McSweeney's)


While you've either already seen or have plans to see Where The Wild Things Are this weekend, you can snag this sweet copy of the Dave Eggers book based on the storybook by Maurice Sendak. If you fall asleep reading it, it's the only book that doubles as a comfy pillow.
