Don’t be left in the cold

Daylight savings is stupid, I mean who decided we all turn the clocks back and it stays dark longer? I’m not a fan but if dark and cold weather are ahead then I highly recommend you get your heads on Commonwealth & New Era fitted hats. Available in black or camel colorways,  both hats are made of a brush twill and make for a perfect holiday gift. [via high snobiety]

Send your emails as songs

This could be a big waste of time if you get hooked, but then again things that make me happy I don’t consider wasteful. Let them sing it for you is a site that croons whatever lyrics you type, pulled from different pop songs. The “I” from Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game is pretty funny.

We’re brand builders too

Many people know us as a trendspotting blog and communicator of creative inspiration. But here’s a lesser known fact – we provide consulting that supports real business needs and helps organizations and brands stand out to reach their awesome potential. Just call us creative problem solvers. 944 Magazine got the scoop on the lesser known side of Holiday Matinee – everything from our beliefs in non-traditional advertising to our recent campaign that re-branded the East Village neighborhood of San Diego. Read about that here and other recent projects on our work page. We’ve got ideas for you.

Hang on to your change

Great oil painting work by Cheyanne Ramos. Definitely worth a jump to her Flickr – some of these pieces are mind-blowing. This one’s called “Hang On To Your Change”. [via Okay Great]

I’m dedicating this unusual song to an unusual person who makes me feel kind of… unusual.
