Joe Doucet's OneSense headphones blocks sights and sounds of the outer world to focus the listeners attention to the music or in other words One Sense symbolises the human need for periods of peace and tranquility we would totally wear these on a crowded plane ;) [via TechnaBob ]

The slightly older generation of readers that visit this blog will surely have an opinion on this band. Anyone that was around the first time Joy Division or Siouxie & The Banshees screamed into view will find lots of familiar ground with today's recommendation. Their first listen will either stir up a love for this band because of their affinity to the guitar bands synonymous with the late 70s and early 80s, or they'll hate them because of how depressing it is to see how little music has moved on. Everyone else can stand their opinions [...]

Super.. bicycle? Designed to look like a limited edition Ferrari, The Fahrradi Farfalla FFX is truly a head-turner. What looks like a luxury sports car is actually a one or two person bicycle, complete with a 11-speed hub gearbox. Not for sale.. just yet. Dopest bike I've seen by far.

Does what it says on the tin: Beatles songs played only on toy instruments. I actually have another "Snoopy's Classiks On Toys" album by the same culprits behind this, an all-instrumental Christmas album, but I haven't posted it here - it's kinda bland. Nothing like having the occasional off-key moppets screeching, as this one does, to wake things up. Yeah, it's those same Beatles songs you've heard a million times - but it's toys! None of this has anything to do with Charlie Brown & Co., near as I can tell. Just a [...]

The website Aggronautix has a limited edition Lee "Scratch" Perry figurine imported from PRESSPOP in Japan. It was designed by Archer Prewitt and personally approved by Scratch himself. I FINALLY grew out of collecting toys about 10 years ago, but this would look pretty good next to my talking Master P doll , don't you think? You can pre-order yours right here .

LEGO blocks are one of the most beloved toys in the world, playing a role in many a person's childhood. But for some creators, LEGO has evolved from toy to art form. In this episode, PBS talks to three LEGO artists: Sean Kenney, Alex Kobbs and Nathan Sawaya who have made beautiful mosaics, amazing stop-motion videos, thoughtful sculptures and have turned these tiny building blocks into a true artistic medium.

This summer Mr. Potato Head will be dressed as the Man of Steel, complete with his classic costume and cape. Meanwhile, Mrs. Potato Head pays homage to Wonder Woman, wearing her tiara, bracelets and lasso of truth. Each figure stands 6" tall, and is perfectly built for play or display…or both! Both Potato Head figures will be available in specialty and collectible stores and websites this August.

We spoke of ' Motoring ' a few weeks back from (and extremely hard to google) krautrock-inspired new outfit TOY , well we forgot to add this little piece of audio goodness 'Left Myself Behind' which is very reminiscent of Joy Division & the Horrors, and that's certainly not a bad thing at all. The band will be releasing their debut project in September, we suggest you start spreading the word until then. Latest single is out now . TOY - Left Myself Behind

The real party begins on Saturday however, as a mass of bands play across dozens of venues in the NW1 area, along with other events such as comedy and spoken word. We've compiled ten of our suggested highlights of the [...]

Just don't mention the Jing Jang Jong. Because although some members of TOY may have a shadowy past in the morally and musically questionable indie outfit, they have just about everything else going for them. They've got the motorik, yearning groove, the melancholy and introspection of shoegaze, and the woozy psychedelic edge. It all amounts to a sound that is completely hypnotic – a cavernous space to get lost in. For me, that's what music's about – anybody can pick up an instrument and create something that it is physically possible to listen to, but there's so much more to [...]

One of the sickests tunes i heard this year, simply monster Peaking Lights remix to Toy track "Motoring".

Peaking Lights en los ultimos meses han estado bien ocupados ya que ademas de estar haciendo mixes para otros sitios y encargandose de la promocion de su segundo album de estudio titulado "Lucifer", tambien se han estado abriendo camino dentro del mundo de los remixes al entregarnos muy buenas remezclas como esta que le acaban de hacer al mas reciente sencillo de una de las bandas mas bloggeadas de Inglaterra en estos momentos: TOY . Creo que no hace falta que les diga quienes son estos tipos ya que desde que comenzo el año han estado recibiendo una [...]

The Great Escape Website It's now just a fortnight until The Great Escape , I'm already excited, I said in my review last year that 2011 was the best yet (I've been to four) and 2012 has the potential to be even better with more venues, more lunch time shows and more bands than ever before, over 30 venues with over 300 bands crammed into three days in the wonderful city of Brighton. Sounds fun right? It is. Running from Thursday 10th to Saturday 12th of May there are so many [...]
