Vinyl & CDs
Vinyl Me, Please ($43.00/month – $399.00/year): Why give dad only one day out of the year when you can give him 12? With a Vinyl Me, Please subscription, a new record will show up at his doorstep every month. With four tracks to choose from (Classics, Essentials, Hip-Hop, and Country), dad can expect exclusive represses, colored vinyl, and extravagant packaging. Plans can be billed monthly, trimonthly, semiannually, or annually, and you can choose a record to start with here.
Arcade Fire – WE LP ($31.98): If Apple Music’s “Dad Rock Essentials” playlist is anything to go by, Arcade Fire qualifies for the legendary label of “music for dads.” While the indie group’s songs will likely be found on any reputable Father’s Day soundtrack, up your game with a physical copy of their latest record, WE. Housed in a gatefold jacket and complete with a poster and a sticker, dad can fulfill his “hey-ho” quota via 180-gram wax with this standard edition black LP. You can pick it up at your local record store, on Amazon, or order from Arcade Fire’s official store here.
Belle and Sebastian – A Bit of Previous LP ($19.49): A Bit of Previous, the first album in seven years from legendary Scottish act Belle and Sebastian, takes a wiser, more storied perspective on their characteristic youthful stories. Clear from opener “Young and Stupid,” it’s a reflective journey from a band who are now mothers and fathers themselves. For a couple bucks more, you can also nab the Matador-exclusive version which comes with alternate cover art and a bonus 7-inch. You can pick up the vinyl on Amazon or at Matador’s webstore here.
Eddie Vedder – Ukulele Songs Deluxe LP ($45.00): For dads of a certain age, Pearl Jam is kind of like catnip, and Pearl Jam vinyl is kind of like super catnip, which would make this deluxe edition of Eddie Vedder’s Ukulele Songs like super-super catnip? Ukulele Songs sees Vedder mixing original compositions with re-imagined covers, including a uke-based cover of Pearl Jam’s “Can’t Keep.” The package features expanded packaging, a 16-page booklet, a lithograph, and, of course, 180 grams of wax. You can pick it up at Amazon or at Pearl Jam’s shop here.
Graham Nash – Live Songs For Beginners, Wild Tales 2LP($23.99): This double LP captures legendary songwriter Graham Nash performing his first two solo albums in full. Decades on from his most celebrated material — both solo and with Crosby, Stills, and Young — Nash remains undeniably committed to his craft. “Thank you for coming to see us, it’s really appreciated,” he says before launching into the first song, showcasing a certain genuineness that pervades both LPs. You can find it on Amazon here.
The Black Keys – Dropout Boogie 2LP ($19.00): If you are looking to have a particularly rocking Father’s Day, gifting dad a copy of The Black Keys’ Dropout Boogie may be your best course of action. The blues-rock duo return with another set of catchy, riff-heavy tracks that are perfect for dad whether he’s shooting pool and drinking a cold one or folding the laundry and drinking a cold one. You can get the standard black vinyl via Amazon or The Black Keys’ website here.
The Smile – A Light For Attracting Attention Yellow LP ($35.00): Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and Tom Skinner’s new project, The Smile, recently released their debut effort. Melancholic, rocking, groovy, and beautiful, fans of Radiohead (i.e. your dad) are sure to find a lot to love about A Light For Attracting Attention. You can grab a copy of the attention-attracting limited edition yellow vinyl at The Smile’s webstore here.
Liam Gallagher – C’MON YOU KNOW Exclusive Vinyl Book Pack ($61.11): Liam Gallagher might have talked a lot of trash about his brother and Blur and Jay Z and Chris Martin and The White Stripes and modern pop singers and… but he’s never said a negative word about your good ol’ pop (as far as we know). This exclusive vinyl package features a limited edition marbled vinyl, a bonus 12-inch, a 12×12 art print, a CD, and a 20-page hardcover book. You can find it at Gallagher’s store here.
Neil Young – OBS 4: Royce Hall, 1971 LP ($24.98): The fourth installment in Neil Young’s “Official Bootleg Series,” this live set captures Young at the end of his 1971 solo tour. The UCLA performance features tracks like “Old Man,” “Heart of Gold,” “Ohio,” and “Journey Through the Past” as Young switches between his acoustic guitar/harmonica combo and piano. You can pick it up via Young’s store here.
Queen: The Platinum Collection 6LP set ($149.88): Available for the first time on vinyl, this expansive six-record set includes Queen’s Greatest Hits I, II, and III. The set comes complete with a host of new artwork, including a 72-page book, and a different color for each LP, all housed within a two-piece slipcase. It’s the perfect gift if your dad lies about being at Live Aid or if he chanted “We Will Rock You” at your little league games. You can pick it up on Amazon here.
Big Thief – Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You 2LP: Big Thief casually dropped an album of the year contender earlier this year with Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You. The double album showcases the strengths of the folk-rock act: their emotionality, their angular guitar jams, and their soft experimentation. If dad is tuned into the magic of Adrianne Lenker and company, he’ll be sure to love a physical copy. You can grab it on Amazon here.
Zach Bryan – American Heartbreak 2CD ($16.98): Country up-and-comer Zach Bryan swung for the fences on American Heartbreak. Clocking in at over two hours in length, the record is 34 tracks of stripped-back, heartfelt country. These two CDs make the perfect gift for a dad partial to melancholic, backroad drives or solitary fishing excursions. You can pick them — or the 3LP set — up on Bryan’s webstore here.
Clothing & Wearables
The Beatles’ Collector Socks 6-pack ($96.00): If your dad loved the Get Back documentary — and let’s face it, he did — surprise him with Happy Socks’ Beatles sock box set. Featuring six unique designs and presented in an LP-style box, Dad can walk around secretly repping the fab four almost every day of the week. You can grab them via Amazon.
The Rolling Stones’ Socks 3-pack ($48.00): Maybe Dad always preferred the bad boy alternative to The Beatles but still has cold feet. Well, with their Rolling Stones sock gift pack, Happy Socks has you covered there too. With three different designs (all featuring the iconic lips), dad can feel rebellious and comfy at the same time. You can pick them up at Happy Socks’ website here, where an expanded 6-pack is also available.
Grateful Dead Sentry Stainless Steel Watch ($300.00): Your dad’s a classy guy, deserving of classy things — but he also likes to have fun. Bridge those two sides of dad with this stainless steel Grateful Dead watch from Nixon. With the classic skull logo front and center, dad can confidently don this piece of wristwear at business meetings and tailgating parties alike. Pick it up on Nixon’s webstore here or via Amazon here.
Wu Tang Hoodie ($105.00): Dad might not be able to use the term “drip” correctly in a sentence, but he certainly understands the concept. Help him fulfill his drippy dreams with a stylish new Wu Tang hoodie. The famed rap-group might be for the children, but who says they can’t be for the fathers too. Pick it up via Stance’s website here.
Simpsons Socks Box Set ($90.00): Does dad like jelly doughnuts and have a tendency of exclaiming “Doh?” If so, he might appreciate these Simpsons-branded crew socks. With four designs housed in a custom box, the socks also boast no-rip guarantee. You can grab them via Stance here.
Books
The Rolling Stones 1972 50th Anniversary Edition ($36.00): Fifty years after they were originally taken, Jim Marshall’s photos of The Rolling Stones on their “Exile on Main Street Tour” have been expanded with essays and never-before-seen proof sheets. This hefty hardcover makes the perfect companion for a nostalgic early morning coffee or a late-night throwback jam session. You can pick it up on Amazon here.
My Life in the Sunshine: Searching for My Father and Discovering My Family ($26.00): Nabil Ayers recounts his journey to connect with his father, jazz musician Roy Ayers, in this touching, insightful, musical memoir. While Ayers is accomplished in his own right — finding success as a writer, musician, and industry figure — his father’s fame and absence loomed over his life and career. Through investigation of family, race, and various genres of music, Ayers aims to redefine his sense of family in My Life in the Sunshine. Grab it on Amazon here.
Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back): A Memoir of Recording and Discording with Wilco, Etc. ($15.69): Maybe merely listening to Wilco isn’t enough for your dad. Maybe dad wants a deeper understanding of the mind of Jeff Tweedy, who, really, is a dad to us all. In his memoir Let’s Go, Tweedy explores his upbringing, early musical experiences, and songwriting process. It’s charming in the way only Tweedy can pull off. You can check it out via Amazon here.
The Butterfly Effect: How Kendrick Lamar Ignited the Soul of Black America ($15.79): There’s one thing old-heads and new rap fans can agree on: Kendrick Lamar. K.Dot’s intricate lyrics and artistic sonic approach have won over fans, critics, and fans of just about every genre. In Marcus J. Moore’s biography of the Compton rapper, Lamar’s life and cultural impact are put into context. Grab The Butterfly Effect for dad to flip through while he bumps Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. You can pick it up on Amazon here.
Blood, Sweat & Chrome – The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road ($23.19): Dads are pretty badass, right? Show dad you appreciate his uncut badassery with a detailed account of one of the most blood-pumping, fist-raising, and, yes, badass action movies ever — Mad Max: Fury Road. Kyle Buchanan, a pop culture reporter for the New York Times, interviews the cast and crew to tell the surprisingly tumultuous story of the film’s development. Grab it via Amazon here.
Tech & Gear
Fender Play (19.99/month or 149.99/year): Your dad has a guitar; it comes with the standard package. Can he play it? Well, that’s debatable. If he’s looking to level up his skills (or you’re tired of hearing “Smoke on the Water” every time he plugs in) a Fender Play subscription might be the motivation he needs to start properly shredding. Fender’s online guitar courses are fine-tuned for each instrument and genre. They track your progress and even feature weekly giveaways to encourage practice. Check out the service on Fender’s site here or via Amazon here.
JBL Charge 5 Bluetooth Speaker ($179.95): Perfect for backyard BBQs or fishing trips, JBL’s latest entry into their Charge series packs a sonic punch without sacrificing durability.

You can pick up the speaker at JBL’s webstore here or via Amazon here.
Bose Noise Canceling Headphones ($379.00): Your dad loves you, but let’s face it, sometimes he needs to tune you out. Bose’s noise-canceling headphones can help him do just that.

They also come with a built-in microphone, for all of dad’s important business calls, and features 20 hours of wireless charge. You can check them out on Amazon here.

Apple HomePod mini ($99.00): If dad would rather share in his love for music (probably jam bands, if we’re being honest), Apple has you covered there, too. The HomePod mini is a small smart speaker that packs a big punch, so dad can blast Grateful Dead bootlegs for the whole neighborhood to hear. Check out the five color options and pick one up on Apple’s website here.
Fender Hammertone Effect Pedals ($79.99 – $99.99): Does your dad still pronounce shoegaze like Fugazi? Well, then maybe it’s time to kickstart his pedalboard with Fender’s new line of Hammertone Effect Pedals.
