TweetTame Impala the four piece psychedelic rock band from Perth, Western Australia launch a weather balloon to visualize their new tune Lucidity.
TweetThe band have again partnered up with shoe company Keep but have designed a childrens shoe, with all profits going towards the Socorro Island Conservation Fund, which aims to protect the Revillagigedo Archipelago off Baja California.
This time the tiny shoe has hidden elastic, which makes it easier to slip on, important for any parent who has to get their toddler’s shoes on in a hurry before the kid starts wriggling around
Again all pre-orders come with a bonus cassette featuring previously unreleased music by the band.

It’s a bit rare to find something totally unique these days…‘off the beaten track’ is more likely to be the first exit from an a-road; a ‘hidden gem’ ends up being a bar that had its best days twenty years ago. Fortunately, there are still places in the world that really are one-offs. You’ve probably heard of Bhutan, but maybe you don’t know all its secrets. It’s only been open to tourists since 1974 and is still pretty unscathed. Bhutan still adheres to a daily dress code, worships the penis to ward off evil and places Gross National Happiness far above Gross National Product.
Remember when you didn’t have a phone attached to the palm of your hand? Welcome back to the good old days. Whether you’re into trekking or looking for something a little more laidback, Bhutan’s Himalayan paradise offers an authentic escape from everyday life.
Hike western Bhutan’s turquoise glacial rivers, lush valleys and winding roads lined by peach orchards, willow trees and fertile rice paddies. Journey to the breathtaking Mt. Chomolhari (Bhutan’s snow-capped Tibetan frontier), where the Taktsang Monastery (the Tiger’s Nest) clings to a sheer cliff, 3,000 feet above the Paro valley.
Bhutan is best known for its mountainous terrain, but this isolated Himalayan Kingdom is perfect for a spiritual break. For photography, ecological wonders (ever seen the mysterious red panda?), or yoga under the stars, there’s no doubt that Bhutan serves it all up in a feast for the soul.
Move to Mongar in the east and the terrain drops from 3,800 metres to 650, taking you from Alpine cool to sub-tropical bliss. Take in Trashigang to meet the Sakteng people who are known for their clothing made out of yak hair and hats with five fringes. Stop to chat and you’ll hear their numerous tales of the infamous Yeti, (who, apparently, is a well-known local).
Bhutan is about freedom from the norm. Discover it while it’s still that way.

KRINK has worked closely with Tom Sachs to create markers that suited specific needs for his work. Tom uses a lot of different markers in his work and he has strict standards related to flow, durability, and archival quality. He tested a wide variety of Krink products and we formulated inks to meet his specs. The K-12 rollerball is a brand new marker tip that Tom is really excited about, It’s unique to the market, and is a Krink / Tom Sachs exclusive. We also formulated a new red “Slow Drip Formula” for our K-66 marker meeting Tom’s specific specs. Perfect for NASA logos on any surface. We also have a new barrel design and over cap for the Krink K-70. Tom liked the ink and flow properties so much that he felt no change was needed for this Krink classic.
To complete the set, Tom created a custom “Dock” to hold the markers, taking his trademark “Police Line Do Not Cross” wood and drilling out custom holes for each of the markers to sit in. Each base is equipped with rubber feet, signed on the front, and numbered on the bottom. Limited to 100 pieces.
