Tuned Pale Ale



Pretty much my holy trinity: beer, music, and design all wrapped into some beautiful packaging by Matt Braun and Chris Mufalli for Tuned Pale Ale.

Tuned Pale Ale is a product that explores the musical affordable in everyday objects and promotes social spontaneity. While drinking beer, people become musically encouraged and often start making music with objects around them. This product aims to promote more of this type of social interaction.

The Beatles

This was all over the place yesterday, but I couldn't resist. The Beatles in 1957, technically as the Quarrymen. Harrison is 14, Lennon is 16, and McCartney is 15. (via Kottke)

Tour In-Ear Headphones

Last night I caught a showing of the post-apocalyptic flick Book of Eli with my friend Jeff. One of the most important aspects in the movie, y'know, aside from the power of the Bible and the human will to survive, were the sweet ear-buds Denzel sported. Tour High Resolution In-Ear Headphones (by Dr. Dre?) will set you back a cool $180, or in Eli's case probably the world's last bottle of shampoo and some fresh cat oil.

A similar effect could have been achieved in 3D, but the hands-on approach makes this something really special. (thnx, zack)
