Winston’s shell. Designer Graham demostrates Winston Churchill’s personal pressure chamber, created to enable him to make high-altitude flights safely. In: Life, 10 Feb 1947.

To protect the precious bulk of Winston Churchill in wartime a special one-man pressure chamber was built for the personal plane which carried him many times across the Atlantic and to Casablanca, Moscow and Yalta. Churchill was warned by his doctors that it was dangerous for a man of his age and physical condition to fly above 8,000 feet. The solution was a pressure chamber complete with ash trays, telephone and an air-circulation system good enough to prevent smoke from the ubiquitous cigar from fogging the atmosphere.

SHARON VAN ETTEN “We Are Fine (ft. Zach Condon)”

Drip, drip, drip.

Sharon Van Etten’s new album Tramp has leaked…and it’s simply gorgeous. Sharon’s expanded her sound with some lusher arrangements and occasional atmospheric soundscapes that build upon the ever-present backbone of her voice and guitar.

It’s definitely more highly-produced than anything she’s released to date.

Lovely…

The Future is Bleak

The future is most definitely exciting. A lot of it has been made so by the announcement of Orange You Glad Music Festival. I’m even getting the chance to work a bit close with the two behind this entire mania. I mean, it doesn’t take much to get me to promote for our growing Orlando scene, but when Chris Anderson starts reeling in acts such as Grimes, Born Gold, Cults, Tennis, & much more, it becomes crazy to think that we’ve actually got something really special brewing here in Central Florida. More so, trying to get everyone involved and willing to participate in all these events feels that much more amazing when they do.

Festival passes & more info. available over @ the OYGfest Website

[Note] Grimes & Born Gold tickets are sold separately as apart of the pre-party show. The Weekend Pass will get you in everywhere on March 8 - 11

Hear, hear!

Magnetic Fields: “Andrew in Drag”

Last month, the new Magnetic Fields record, Love at the Bottom of the Sea, was teased as a return to form, of sorts, to Stephin Merritt’s most endearing set so far, 69 Love Songs. Now we have a glimpse of his reunion with Merge Records, and yeah, many of the key elements from that 1999 LP (indelible melodies, droll lyricism, whimsical instrumentation, et al.) feel refreshingly present upon first listen. Hear his ode to “Andrew in Drag” above.

Yes… yes yes yes.

Slim pickins in the office mug department today.

Play the Blues, Brother

Courtesy of our fraternal twin tumblr: it’s our annual spring preview, and to kick things off, actor Ewan McGregor dons the blue suit as you’ve never seen it before. Traditionally, it’s the most conservative suiting color—but not when you’re riffing on it like this. Our favorite business look for spring is all about piling on the blues, from your suit to your socks and everything in between. More looks here.
