Peel P50 Microcars Are Cool!

The smallest car to ever go into production, the Peel P50 is a super badass mini mobile. The original P50 was designed and produced in the 60s, though for a limited time, just 50 reproductions are available. Also, where did you get that rhino? Check. It. Out.



Get yours today!

Must-See Film: Life in a Day

Life in a Day, a film documenting a a day in the lives of all people across the planet, opens nationwide on July 29, 2011. The film's editor Joe Walker told NYTimes of editing the 4,500 hours of film: 
"The analogy is like being told to make Salisbury Cathedral, and then being introduced to a field full of rubble. You have to start looking for buttresses and things that connect together....We could have made a continuous 12-hour film out of people walking....We could have made a film about watermelons."
If this trailer doesn't give you the chills, you may have no soul.


"When I close my eyes, I can see all different people in the world."

How We Feel Everyday of the Summer

Little Dragon's New Album Out Today, Ritual Union

Well, hello. We're back, and we don't want you to miss out on Little Dragon's third album, Ritual Union, out today. Click play if you like feeling good and wondering:


Father, tell me how it is.
I know you’ve been through all of this.
You ran away so many times
Your kids, your heart, a couple dimes.

The lyrics reminds us vaguely, oddly, of Paul Muldoon's "Cuba." If you're curious:
My eldest sister arrived home that morning
In her white muslin evening dress.
'Who the hell do you think you are
Running out to dances in next to nothing?
As though we hadn't enough bother
With the world at war, if not at an end.'
My father was pounding the breakfast-table. 

'Those Yankees were touch and go as it was—
If you'd heard Patton in Armagh—
But this Kennedy's nearly an Irishman
So he's not much better than ourselves.
And him with only to say the word.
If you've got anything on your mind
Maybe you should make your peace with God.' 

I could hear May from beyond the curtain.
'Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
I told a lie once, I was disobedient once.
And, Father, a boy touched me once.'
'Tell me, child. Was this touch immodest?
Did he touch your breasts, for example?'
'He brushed against me, Father. Very gently.'
