Teenage Kicks Release Debut EP

Toronto's favourite rock and roll band have independently released their Debut EP, Rational Anthems. Guaranteed to be one of the best summer anthems of the year, these 5 tracks truly showcase a natural song writing ability, and vocal talent from Peter Van Helvoort.

One can't help but pull a comparison to the Constantines, yet still hear the classic influence of Creedence Clearwater Revival and the Who, which seem to be intrinsically wound throughout each song of this debut. All the while, their live show promises a display of downright and dirty rock'n'roll -- a genre that has too long been overshadowed by the multitude of DIY "pop" projects.

The EP can be bought for the mere price of a tweet - Grab yourself a copy today!

Why Two Minds Think Better Than One

Husband-and-wife team Masamichi Udagawa and Sigi Moeslinger have thrived as creative partners, designing everything from New York subway cars to a Knoll furniture line. Scott Belsky (Behance) and Josh Rubin (Cool Hunting) chat with the duo about what makes for a great partner and the advantages of teaming up – for instance: faster thinking, productive friction, and more creative firepower.

A Fine Feast For The Eyes

A fantastic short film by The Selby on Mitch Alfus, the 'Leather King'. He is the founder of Libra Leather, a company that was highly influential in the popularization of the distressed leather mania and is a supplier to some of the world’s most influential fashion designers (Chrome Hearts, Rick Owens and Henry Lehr, among some.)

Can I please work for this man and sell a 'fuckload of leather'?

YSL 2011 SPRING CAMPAIGN

What an immaculate sensory experience. YSL's 2011 Spring campaign came knocking on my door and floored me with it's simplistic, yet unabashed brilliance.

Golden Lullaby

One the eve of a 365 day love affair, I drift into sleep with this beautiful track by My Morning Jacket. Seems surreal in a way, but I guess the best things in life are....

Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode.
Driftin' off a thing i'd never done before
Watchin' a crowd roll in. out go the lights it begins.
A feelin' in my bones i never felt before...
Mmm... people always told me. that bars are dark and lonely
And talk is often cheap and filled with air.
Sure sometimes they thrill me
But nothin' could ever chill me.
Like the way they make the time just disappear
Feelin' you are here again. hot on my skin again.
Feelin good a thing i'd never known before
What does it mean to feel?
Millions of dreams come real
A feelin' in my soul i'd never felt before... mmm...
And you always told me.
No matter how long it holds me if it falls apart
Or makes us millonaires. you'll be right here forever.
We'll go thru this thing together
And on heaven's golden shore we'll lay our head.
