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 want to check out any of the other Playlist then click on Archived Playlist in this post or on the right hand side of this blog or in the menu.

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 here.

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?

I'm digging this series done by graphic designer Nick Agin.  In his "Old Timey Star Wars" series where he basically captures not only a galaxy far, far away but also an era from the past. Where being in your Sunday's best is the way to go. My favorite one is the Pvt. 1st Class 1057 Storm Trooper.  Check out more of Nick's work here

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.

Hengki Koentijore see's himself as a "Amateur" photographer but who is he kidding. Most professionals would love for their work to look this good. Hengki shots most of his shoots with his Nikon D700 and Canon 5d Mark II alongside a 120 film camera. The ones with more grain seem to have been taken with the film camera. I have only posted some of his work. Check out his site and see what other jewels that I missed.

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.  Download here for FREE or stream it below!

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.
