Chrome Daydream
Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.
The notebook changes its cover every month. Each one takes its cues from a different corner of music, paper and internet culture. Explore the collection below.
Haunted Notebook is here through November 1. Coffee Shop Confessional takes over November 2.
Chrome stars, jelly hearts and holographic colour. A nod to the glossy, optimistic graphics of the early web.
Cassette ribbons, red-pen hearts and pink paper. For anyone who ever put too much thought into a mixtape.
Vines wind around the speakers and flowers take over the margins. Spring gets the volume knob.
Pixel ghosts, cherries and electric blue meet the notebook doodles. A little arcade cabinet in the margins.
The pink splashes, coffee ring and black doodles that started it, with the volume turned up. The notebook's home colours.
Peel-and-stick chaos: skulls, butterflies, hearts and neon lightning. Think of the back of your favourite battered laptop.
Torn tickets, halftone fragments and bright scraps. A cover that borrows the rough edges of a wall full of gig flyers.
Black ink, torn paper and acid-yellow sparks. A love letter to photocopied zines and the flyers you kept after the show.
Stars, speakers, tape and every loud colour at once. Back-to-school stationery with absolutely no restraint.
Moths, little ghosts and crimson ink creep through the black flourishes. The notebook has a late-night alter ego.
Coffee rings, headphones and warm paper. A cover for the long walk home and the track you play again when you get there.
Moons, moths and constellations spill across midnight-blue ink. The margins drift into space; the music keeps going.

My search continues for the perfect cheap earbuds and in the past my test earbuds had at least a few redeeming qualities. As I wrote in my last earbud review post I'll be rating each review with the same set of characteristics to allow for easy comparison. These will be Build Quality, Tangle Rating, Audio Quality and Overall Impression.

My quest for the perfect cheap earbuds continues. After another even longer wait my second batch of test equipment arrived. On of my very first customers has found my super-easy online store at GoSpaces.com even though I have not completed all my testing. They have waited patiently for me to review all my headphones and select a perfectly-suited, audiophile appropriate cheap headphone.

The pair of cheap earbuds in this review are the JMF Noise Cancelling earbuds. As I mentioned in my first cheap earbud review I'll be rating them based on Build Quality, Tangle Rating, Audio Quality and Overall Impression.

My quest for the perfect cheap earbuds has begun. After a long wait my first order of earbuds arrived. The first pair I'm reviewing are the OCEA Super Bass earbuds. As I mentioned before I'll be rating them based on Build Quality, Tangle Rating, Audio Quality and Overall Impression. The best sets will also be for sale on our coldplaysucks.com store – but we will only stock earbuds if they achieve a high enough rating. Build Quality The packaging of these earbuds was a bit less sturdy, basically a plastic tyvek bag (like a UPS Pak) . . . which I'm not sure is a bad...

This marks the first in a series of posts reviewing cheap headphones. Specifically cheap earbuds. I'm on a quest for the perfect cheap earbuds and I thought I would share my reviews of these earbuds along the way. My main problem is that earbuds can cost $100 or more in retail stores, when the cost should really be closer to $20 or $10. Earbuds can be basically disposable if they are cheap enough, which would work well for me since I often forget my earbuds and end up needing to buy a new pair. I'll be rating earbuds on four qualities on...
