So begins the slow descent into the days where our evenings become darker and the sunsets become a haven of beautiful colors. With this realization the only thing I can think of to match that feeling would be a new Playlist to fill your ears with music that matches the harvest sunsets. Lastly, here are some recommendations on some new finds like
Goyte,
Korallreven,
Ghost Town DJ's and more.. that you should check out.

If you've ever wanted to know what some of the fun and slick no handed bike moves are, well then your in luck.
Ninian Doff has created a professional display of 50 No Handed Bike Moves, performed to "
Golden Tree" by
Martin Brooks. So the next time your cycling around with your friends you can show them your new found cool and useful no handed moves. My favorites are ‘The Wind Check’, ‘The No Big Deal’ and ‘The Drummer’. For now though, I'll be working on my sweet moves while sitting at my desk. Check out more of Ninian Doff work

Matthew Lim, a recent grad student has created the EcoVinyl ($350), a turntable-headphone duo made from sustainable materials. This was created to help
Sennheiser a German audio company boast their branding and draw in a younger crowd with this product. The company has already introduced sustainable packaging so how about taking it to the next step with sustainable products.
Lim created this duo by choosing high-density fiberboard, which is often used in audio-system closure boxes. He used cork for the turntable and the earphone headband; and aluminum, which he CNC'd to produce a durable body. This ready-to-go set has a small carbon footprint with 45% fiberboard, which is recyclable and biodegradable. The metal body that it comes in can easily be removed with an Allen wrench and recycled. This product however is still a concept and Sennheiser has yet to commit to Lim's project. Either way, do you think this would help the company change it's branding to a younger crowd? Seeing how the company has been around for 60 years and only about 10% of headphone consumers knows who this company is. Leave a comment, would like to see what you think.

The Morten family was looking to redesign a barn but were unable to do find any. So what was the next thing they could do? They built a summer house in Gotland, Sweden, which was just as simple as a barn. The 64-square-foot home was built with just one single room with two sleeping boxes at each end of the house. Being that the house is just one single room. I think they did a great job on utilizing the space that was available to them. What do you think?
This is the first radio I think I have come across that is made of cardboard and is a fully functional radio/mp3 input player. Did I mention also that this radio is fully recyclable, No! The
Cardboard Radio ($34) was designed by
Christopher McNicholl with the intent to manufacture a design that would make a more green approach once the product had met its end.
The internals of the radio are housed in a simple cardboard structure and the
device itself is also minimally designed, which is somewhat appealing from a
design standpoint. It’s powered by 4 AA batteries or DC power (power
adapter not included). It also comes with two nice retro dials and an audio
jack to allow you to hook up your mp3 player or smartphone.

Damon Sheeley of
The Bear and The Sea had released a couple of months ago his remix of Common's
"I Used to Lover H.E.R." with the intention of slowly creating and releasing a handful of selected remixes as a FREE release. It was a tribute to the hip hop world through his hazy instrumentals that give a filter feel to his tracks. So here it is thanks to
Nueva Forma the new EP
Everything is Everything.

Beach cruisers to me are not that beautiful or elegant in design that they usually are not that impressive to me. However, this
Almond x Linus Summer Bike ($1,300) is another story. It gives the term "beach cruiser" some real meaning. This bike was developed in collaboration with
Almond Surfboards and
Linus Bikes to produce the ideal combination of surfing and biking. They chose to use Linus' Roadster Classic model, which combines a single speed coaster break with a more commute-friendly frame, and it features a handmade cherry wood crate and leather top tube covers, as well as a board rack from
Block Surf and your choice of Almond's Sandia Fish, Pogie Fish, Kookumber, Quadkumber, or Sea Kitten shortboard. Not a bad deal at all.

Google last week quietly joined the travel category with the launch of
Google Flight Search, a web-based tool that lets you find and book flights with ease. The best part of this new tool is the minimal design of the site. This user friendly version is great because it provides all the info you need without all the clutter. Everything on the site is easy to navigate while still being clean in the design. I would tell you how the site works but I think the video below does a better job. So if you're looking to book a flight soon give
Google Flight Search a try.
Dovecote Records is a record label that I have been following for quite a while now. They're also no stranger to
The Collective Loop. A number of the artists like
Hard Mix,
Jonquil, and
Wise Blood have all been talked about or have found themselves on the monthly Playlists. So today, I wanted to spread the word and share that
Dovecote has just released a
Fall Ziptape with 15 FREE mp3's of their artist lineup. In order to get your free download you'll have to
"like" them on Facebook. I think that is a great trade off and I don't think you will be disappointed. Plus, they have a funny sense of humor over at Dovecote. Find out more about the
artist and the label here.
I will be playing again at
The Hookah Lounge
in Clearwater on September 17th from 10pm - 2am. You should come on out
and hear some good ambient/indie/dubstep for the evening while you enjoy
your delicious hookah. They have 65 different flavors of
Shisha
for the picking. It's $15.00 bucks for unlimited and $8.00 for a
single. If you haven’t been, it's well worth checking out. See you
there!

A classic has been brought back and that is the
Polaroid SX-70. It was the very first folding SLR and the first camera to take integral instant film, only made up until 1977. This limited edition Polaroid SX-70 isn't a modern remake of the classic, it is the classic, restored so it works just as well as it did back in the early 70's.
In being that it's a classic and it's a limited edition be prepared to pay $300 bucks for this baby. Currently, the site
Photojojo is already out of stock but it looks like they will be shipping more in mid October. In the mean time you can just use
Instragram, but its got nothing on this camera.
A Japanese artist
Akinobu Izumi created these
miniature paper sculptures and puts them into miniature bottles. Each bottle is only 0.9 inch long and 0.5 inch high. These professional architectural models are done with skill and free time.
I would assume it takes some free time to create these small sculptures. If your interested you can purchase them over at
Akinobu Etsy store for around $23 - $44 dollars.

Australia-based artist
Ghostpatrol has created these interesting pencil set illustrations with the use of many pencils. He has transformed the pencil from tools to a canvas in a playful art that combines sculpture with illustration. Neatly lining up wooden pencils whose cores have been shaven down to
form a blank surface for twee portraits of young'uns and frolicking
woodland creatures, his collection evokes innocence and
childhood nostalgia in both form and content. You can see the entire series of over 60 illustrations
here.
