Firewater frontman Tod A likes to travel. The ex-Cop Shoot Cop leader and longtime New Yorker spent almost three years on the road following the release of 2008’s The Golden Hour, finally settling down to live in Istanbul. New album International Orange! (Bloodshot) was made there and in Tel Aviv during last year’s Arab Spring. Of course Tod hit the road immediately to promote the LP, but a couple weeks ago he tripped on a cobblestone, breaking his kneecap and forcing the tour to be postponed. Tod will, however, be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week, writing about the things he can’t travel without. Read our brand new Q&A with him.
A: $45. Don’t let the name fool you: this isn’t a gay bondage DVD. You’ve probably seen these multi-tools for sale at your local truck stop. Whatever you can’t fix with a Swiss Army Knife, you probably can with a Leatherman. Leatherman is the original. Even though it’s considerably more expensive than its imitators, it’s by far the best. In my experience, they’re indestructible.
