It's the laziest move in music — ending with a fade out. Don't know how to end a song? Fade it out. Someone else writing the songs you're playing? Fade it out. It's a technique that only came around with the advent of the recording console, and Vox thinks it should make a comeback.
There's no one quite like you — not even all the other tattooed, skinny jeaned, horn-rim glasses, 80s hairstyled, iPhone-toting, selfie-taking, denim jacket-wearing, bearded, and pierced people. In other words, you're unique. Just like everyone else wearing the uniform. And Dissolve created this faux ad that mocks the ever-cringworthy nature of youth advertising as a testament to your individuality.
Old Spice has entertained us with their commercials for years, full of nonsensical characters in even more nonsensical scenarios. With their latest project, they upped their usual 30-second spot to a full-length feature film, and just like their spray deodorant, it's invisible. Starring, well it doesn't really metter. You can't see them anyway.
Percival's Impressionist Jacquard Shirt is where artistry meets craftsmanship, blending a textured knit design with a rich color palette inspired by the impressionist movement.

With intricate jacquard detailing and a timeless appeal, it stands out while maintaining an air of understated cool — proof that Percival continues to elevate everyday style with a touch of artistic flair.
Trashie's Take Back Bag is the easiest way to get rid of clothing and other textiles you do not need anymore. Simply buy a bag (or a bundle of them) fill it up, mail it back, and Trashie will ensure those items never make it to landfills, rerouting them to third-party retailers Trashie individually vets for compatibility. That means your old T-shirt, depending on its condition, could end up going to someone in need or being broken down to create carpet padding or pet bed filling, among other things. You earn exactly $30 in TrashieCash for each bag you send back, which you can redeem for deals — direct cash equivalent or a certain percentage off — to buy yourself new things from your favorite brands.
Netflix is back with what looks to be another binge-worthy true crime documentary. The story goes, in 2003 Juan Catalan was arrested for the murder of a 16-year-old girl. Pleading innocence, he claimed that he had been at a Dodgers game along with 56,000 other people at the time. With no way to prove his whereabouts, the defense called their greatest witness — Larry David. Get the full story when Long Shot starts streaming September 29, 2017.
Stranger Things as a video game? You know you'd play that. Netflix gives their hit series an 8-bit makeover in the style of a classic RPG, complete with inventory management and experience points.
Devin Booker is a craftsman — surgical in his movements, ruthless in his execution. A stutter here, a jab-step there, and before his defender can recover, the shot is already falling. His first signature sneaker, the Nike Book 1, is built with the same precision. Designed for the smoothest operators in the game, it delivers a blend of speed and cushioning, allowing for sharp footwork and effortless elevation. This colorway, inspired by one of Book's favorite ACG sneakers, brings a rugged yet refined aesthetic, bridging the gap between street and hardwood. Whether you're dropping dimes or pulling up from deep, the Nike Book 1 is made for those who move with purpose — and leave defenders guessing.

No longer a cliche of indie filmmaking, the super shallow focus has made its way into big budget film. In a more technical examination, the Nerdwriter looks at the use of super shallow focus in the Amazon's The Handmaid's Tale. Using massive apertures and close-ups, director Reed Morano set the tone of the show as being from the inner perspective of main character Offred.
