We have been so busy working on new designs and other exciting things that we have been slacking on music posts. This post is to make up for all that. Below is the best of the best for the last little while. There is definitely a strong summer theme going through most of these songs but otherwise they're just plain good. 1. Let's start with a classic Air France tune. It embodies everything that is great about summer. One of my personal favorite songs.

If you know anything about Savannah, GA-based electropop group Sunglasses , you know The Video. It's embedded below, and is perhaps the best video I've seen since Sledgehammer . And it's pre-viral, poised for breakthrough brilliance whenever Pitchfork or Stereogum discover the joys of watching a pasty, mustachioed bad dancer strip off his retro gear – and get the girls! But that's not all Sunglasses are about, as their two so-far-released Passion Pit-meets-Animal Collective tracks have caught the attention of hipster label Lefse Records (home of Neon Indian and Phasone). Future's bright… [...]

All the music that you don't want to miss this week

Madonna ha davvero una tempra pazzesca: gestisce senza (apparente) stanchezza i mille impegni di una carriera che somiglia sempre più ad una multinazionale. Sappiamo che sta lavorando ad un nuovo album, ma mica solo quello: in contemporanea ultimamente ha fatto un sacco di altre cose...come dare consigli in tv a coppie di sposi (lei, pluri-divorziata!) e posare per prestigiose campagne pubblicitarie , tanto per fare due esempi. Poteva bastare così? Ovviamente no: alla vigilia della commercializzazione dello Sticky & Sweet Tour DVD (30 marzo in tutto il mondo eccetto che negli USA, [...]

Kanye West was once known for bringing the popular sunglasses trend 'shutter shades' to the mainstream. Teens, tweens, and ironic clubgoers helped fuel the shuttershade industry, driving record profits in the late 2k0s. It seems like his girlfriend, Amber Rose, is trying out a new trend. These progressive/futuristic sunglasses look like they are some sort of 'cum shield', meant to protect your eyes from getting semen in them. They might also just be generalist protective eye wear. Are cum shields the new shutter shades? Does wearing 'cum shield' styled sunglasses make u 'an effing [...]

Nike has released this series of vintage inspired sunglasses as a part of their 'Nike Vintage Vision Vintage 722 lineup. The lineup consists Havana, Nero and Gaillo and Nero. The Vintage 72 is inspired by 70s sunglasses styles and are recovered from archival models. They 72 shades come in different matte and tortoiseshell frames and are matched with different colored lenses. The shapes are reminiscent of roomier aviators but with retro plastic frames instead of metal ones a la Ray-Ban. Check out the shades and for Nike fans, these should be [...]

I don't think New York City could have had a more perfect weekend weather wise, and my lady even busted out her warm weather ray bans...just in time for this warm weather I stumbled across Sunglasses. Sunglasses are beach influenced electronica coming from Savannah, Georgia...not to far from my home town of Charleston SC, where this genre seems to be thriving (if you haven't checked out South Carolina's native sons Washed Out and Toro Y Moi you might want to do that). While there are [...]

If you're looking to cop a pair, it'll run you $139 USD. SUPER has met the lifestyle mood of another brand and gave birth to new interesting collaboration: Chocolate Skateboards. Chocolate was founded in 1994 as a spin-off from Girl skateboard Company. We at Super wanted to celebrate Chocolate's success and 15 Year Anniversary with a limited edition release of 333 special pairs of sunnies. Our common point of view on quality and the continued research of changes have made us work together with excitement for this fresh and special project. A shade based [...]
Dropping A Bomb On Winter! If you listen closely to the opening of Sunglasses fantastic new single "Referee", you will hear the sound of one our infamous Savannah, Ga driving rainstorms just as a freight train passes by the edge of downtown. It feels li ...
mp3: Sunglasses "Referee"Thankfully Sunglasses have finally posted another song; my mp3 of "Whiplash" was starting to show signs of wear. "Referee" is another song seemingly built out of sunshine and Doritos and summertime crushes. My only concern with these guys is whether or not they're going to be able to release enough material to soundtrack my summer.
(I doubt this will be a weekly thing, but it works for today) http://www.myspace.com/putsung lasseson Great song. Great video (they actually perform with that guy dancing in the crowd). Brings me back to an old favorite of mine:

as i ride through the trees a feeling fills my heart ♫ Sunglasses - Whiplash Savannah, Georgia, is known for a lot of things, but most recently it has birthed Sunglasses. These two S.C.A.D. grads came my way via IGIF and I've been dancing with a silly grin on my face ever since. Where were these guys to properly stomp on all the chill-wave baloney last summer? I could have definitely utilized "Whiplash"as a cruising jam and now that the weather is warming, I think I will. [...]
