Father's Day is this Sunday (I realized, like a day ago), and so every commercial website has been offering a gift guide to help out with buying your dad something he really doesn't want. I was casually scrolling through Amazon's offerings, and honestly there was nothing I could even remotely think about buying for my dad. Coming from a line of weirdos, and having a reputation of terrible gift-giving to uphold (I once gave an industrial sized vat of ketchup as a gift), power tools, jogging vests and FitBits certainly are not going to cut it. I mean, this was legitimately on the list:

So, here's a father's day gift guide if you, like me, were begat by hill people who have more than one Lawrence Welk themed tin tray (that I have bought him).
Midcentury educational texts on a variety of useless subjects, like Rock Collecting, television repair or raising badgers always rank high.
I was looking on Ebay for the actual
Major Matt Mason dolls action figures, only to find out they are worth a metric s-ton, so here's a novelization instead.
Hell, even the box on this thing looks great.
Don't have six grand to drop on a real Minimoog? These German pillows are second best!
Smokey Bear + milk glass mug = ultimate fire prevention
It's a tray, it's from the 70s, it's advertising a broadcast station in a place I've never been to- the dream.

If you're not into Father's Day, celebrate Brian Wilson's birthday (the 20th) this weekend and see
Love & Mercy if it's in your town. DO IT. IT IS SO GOOD. Anyone who knows me knows I don't see movies in the theater, but this one is so worth the assholes who brought their small child and let him dump his drink all over. It's release happened to coincide with me starting to really get back into this band about six months ago, it was KISMET.
