the best new accessory....
Typically I'm not a techno accessory person, but these headphones are worth stepping away from my normal aversion to gadgetry as fashion. They work great with iphone (with the mic chiclet thingy) and have ones great for ipods, too. Best feature: they do not tangle....swoon.
Available from Danish design collective AIAIAI. Here's what they have to say about themselves:
The company AIAIAI was born out of Copenhagen’s nest of creativity known as the A-house. Apart from hosting a club on top of the old industrial building AIAIAI initiated a collective consisting of more than 200 young artists, musicians and designers in the years 2005-2006. We, the 4 partners of AIAIAI, started off with a vision that hasn’t changed: Together with a variety of different people, designers, musicians, artists etc. we create earphones, headsets, headphones and other kinds of consumer electronic related products that makes a genuine statement.

Community
In 2006, after touring the world over, the Icelandic band, Sigur Rós, went back to Iceland to give a series of free, unannounced concerts to their public. They traveled to out of the way villages and communities - often playing outdoors or in small cafes, even an abandoned fishery made the list. As they detail in their documentary film (released November 2007), they did the tour because they felt like it was something they had to do to show respect for they community from which they came. News of the tour was passed along largely by word of mouth and was visited by young and old, families and friends to celebrate music, nature - beauty. Wow. Sigur Rós is joined by the female Icelandic quartet, Amiina on the documentary who are quite legendary in their own right.
Needless to say, the footage is breathtaking. The documentary comes with a spectacular book with photos printed on sublime paper. An amazing band and film. All made in a grand gesture of appreciation, humility and reverence for community.
