After some 3 years, Sivletto has launched a brand new web shop. One of the new features is combination offers, so currently you'll get a discount on a Hawleywoods Layrite t-shirt if you buy Layrite pomade.
The graphics are very retro and cool, and the navigation is improved. And yes, they ship worldwide.

A very interesting documentary on BBC Radio 2, and you can listen on-line. For free. Nice.
Part one is available now. Not sure for how long though, so don't hang about.
Too Much Too Young documentary on BBC Radio 2
Paul Sexton traces the history of 2 Tone records and the
band at its centre - The Specials.
1979 saw Ska explode onto the
UK's music scene. Leading the wave were The Specials, who tackled social issues,
unemployment and racism through their music.
The band were signed to the
2 Tone label, which was the brainchild of The Specials' Jerry Dammers, who
wanted to create his own Motown Records - in Coventry.
2 Tone scored
seven hit singles, a top-ten album, and a sell-out UK tour - all within its
first year. The label also launched the careers of Madness,
The Selecter and The Beat.
Featuring
new interviews from The Specials, Madness, The Beat and
The Selecter, Paul will also talk to Pete Waterman, Don
Letts and Garry Bushell to follow the highs and lows
of the label and its bands.

The crazy dudes in the Bikini Beach Band have recorded a version of Amy Winehouse's Rehab. Not sure if the subject of the tune fits with the jolly knees-up surf skank but as there's no vocals on this version it might not matter so much. Sorry, I'm rambling.
Go to the Bikini Beach Band website to download the mp3 for free.
