At Patagonia, product quality and environmental responsbility make perfectly cozy bedfellows. Case in point: this classic Baby Synchilla Cardigan made from 85% recycled polyester fleece, which is sturdy enough to last several generations of kids. With a hand-me-down label on the inside, passing the garment along is strictly encouraged. And what comfy and warm babies they will be, in an ultra-soft......read more

Adorbs alert! Discovery assembled an "awwww"-inspiring slide show of endangered baby animals. Are fixies over? We have no idea, but this bamboo joint from Germany's Arndt Menke-Zumbragel tells us no. Lance Armstrong is down too. The world's most famous cyclist called it a "killer wooden bike" on his Twitter. Can't disagree. Check out those rear forks! ......read more
The Timbur rattle is the first product offering from Timbur, which launched just last Spring. If you need a sustainable, non-toxic baby gift, this is the thing. Or if you want to just get or give a groovy percussion shaker, it'll work just as well. Personally, I'd do the latter and keep it for myself. Fusing advanced computational design methodology with traditional wood craft, sustainable......read more
If you want to get away from it all, but you don't want to sacrifice style or good food, then this little slice of paradise is just the spot for you. Situated in the Winelands region outside of Cape Town, South Africa, Babylonstoren is a converted 1692 farmhouse and row of whitewashed old workers’ cottages that have been transformed into a tastefully-done "resort." Reshaping......read more
Following the release of her excellent Ekstasis LP, esoteric songstress Julia Holter linked up with Jib Kidder (aka Sean Schuster-Craig) to produce this wobbly, country-sampling tune that we've had on repeat all day. "My Baby" takes snippets from Kidder’s "Ringtone Cowboy," off his forthcoming Steal Guitars album, adding Holter’s dreamy vocal to the country & western......read more
The year-old vid for Breakbot's "Baby I'm Yours" is a wonder to behold. Irina Dakeva created the analog animation from over 2,000 individual images, each of which she painstakingly painted with watercolors, one right after another. Dakeva's energetic style has some real pop, with inventive transitions and shifting color washes that go hand-in-hand with the bouncy, French pop-disco track....read more
Spotted on Matablog, here's a new Todd Cole-directed video for "Baby's Arms" off Kurt Vile's great Smoke Ring for My Halo LP. Cole follows a young couple in East L.A, languidly hanging out, riding bikes, tagging, and chilling to the quiet sounds of Vile's acoustic guitar. Apparently the entire clip was shot on a Windows Phone (as part of the Windows Phone Me short......read more
Kisses picks up in the same desert wasteland world, ravaged by drought. Edward is arrested by two Minors (police from Ursa Minor) for the murder of his own father, and taken to a water-labor prison. There he reunites with Brother, his long-ago friend, and rallies the prisoners to a frenzied prison break. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is part of LIGHTEN UP, SHFT's original series; and......read more
At first, the video for "Baby," from Phenomenal Handclap Band’s self-titled album, fits perfectly with the band's playful '70s freak jam vibe. But the sunny back-to-nature scene soon gives way to a kitschy cabin in the woods horror, complete with fake blood and dead bodies. (Is there some sort of wilderness horror zeitgeist going on in music videos right now?) ...read more
