In support of his new full length debut, Wherever The Sun Sets, out digitally in two weeks, Anoraak gives Neon Indian a makeover with his remix of "Psychic Chasms" for the Mind Ctrl: Psychic Chasms Possessed CD. The track stays spacey as ever, keeping with the Neon Indian vibe but with an original twist that works great.

This is what the end of the summer sounds like. Bring on the Fall.

Table Wine was done by Canada based company, Rethink Communication. In an effort to showcase Rethink’s package design capabilities, the company manufactured unique wine bottles, with individualized labels that speaks to the companies personality, philosophy and sense of humor. 

Copy on this version reads: At Rethink, we believe great package design is like a ping-pong table: it should inspire intense competition and heated dialogue. Not to mention the occasional fist pump and victory dance.

NYC’s Supreme are set to launch their Fall/Winter collection for this year.

Directed by Casey Affleck, I'm Still Here is a portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, the documentary follows the Oscar-nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip hop musician. The film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads and explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.

Here's a classic coffee mug for ya, that we just kind of like. The Roger Hargreaves Mr. Grumpy mug sports Mr. Grumpy on a ceramic mug on both the front and the back side and reads, "Grumpy by name, and even more grumpy by nature!" Simple, silly, grumpy. We just like it.

Crooked Tongues and Dr. Romanelli pull the covers off of Dr. Romanelli’s latest collaboration involving Converse. Having previously linked up on an All Star Chuck Taylor for (PRODUCT)RED, a derivative of that quintessential classic is the new model of focus with the All Star Chuck Taylor Cupsole. Dubbed the “Born in the USA” collection, two models combine elements of Americana such as duck canvas, the “Stars and Stripes”, bald eagles and peacoat-inspired melton wool.
