Yes, another 4×4 post… I’ve posted many times about the magical custom rehab 4×4 establishment that is Icon, based in L.A.

When I close my eyes and think of the the 80s, this is the sound that I hear, accompanied with the visual of florescent yellow fat laces, laced perfectly straight across on my Air Jordans… miss those. The signature sound of the Roland TR-808 helped to transform the music industry during the 1980s. There’s some interesting [...] Retronaut.co is a ridiculously great source of browsing entertainment. If you’re into all things retro… cars, products, events, people, places, you’ll have a good time checking out the content on their site. The Soviet camera collection is pretty impressive. I’d love to get my hands on an original Lomo. Visit -> http://www.retronaut.co/ HBTV: Depth of Speed – British Mania from HBTV on Vimeo. Notes from Vimeo: “When it comes to the world of British automotive prowess, the earlier examples from MG and Austin Healey have arguably fallen to the wayside amongst Britain’s current crop of luxury vehicle makers. But for Roger Gisseman, his love of British cars dates back [...] I’ve seen a resurgence of some beautifully designed retro art deco fonts lately. Above are a couple that I’ve really taken a liking to, Cassannet (by Josip Kelava) & Metropolis (by atipo.es). They maintain a great classic quality while also feeling nice and fresh. Both terrific fonts for designers who are looking to shake it [...] 21 artists come together to show off their amazing helmet designs at a Portland art gallery, all supported by classic motorcycle helmet company BELL. Love to see a company take notice and place a spotlight on their customer’s passions. Makes for an entertaining view. Visit -> http://www.bellsports.com Satori from Abhilasha Dewan on Vimeo. I really dig the overall effect of this cleverly composited animation short by Abhilasha Dewan, inspired by the misty mountains of Nainital, India. Lot’s of great subtle shading and filtering, his use of photography to add depth and dimension to the illustration is just awesome. Very inspiring piece. Tumblr has become such an amazingly vast archive of people’s interests, I never know what I’ll discover on my dashboard. Being a car guy, and a fan of all things obscure and retro, I’m having a lot of fun with antiquegleam.tumblr.com. Lot’s of old forgotten automobile designs, ads and odd captures of the classics in [...] ink&paper from Ben Proudfoot on Vimeo. This nicely done short documentary covers the oldest and last traditional, old technology letterpress and custom artist paper establishments in L.A.

The over sized nest is intended to inspire others to make the trek into [...] It’s been a while since I’ve posted any interesting music here on circuitbreaks. This past weekend while having breakfast at Easy Street Records in the new hood, Tame Impala bellowed into my ears and made my egg and cheese sandwich that much more of a deeper experience. The Australian three piece cranks out some seriously [...] This is definitely one of the more ambitious and disruptive installation art pieces that I’ve come across in a long while. Apparently, it was created and documented some time ago in 1993, but it’s been floating around on Tumblr blogs a bit lately because of it’s timely on-trend aesthetic. Here’s the overall project description from the Behance page: “Luminous [...] Kenton Slash Demon – Daemon from Dark Matters on Vimeo. Notes From Vimeo: “On their quest for creating classic computer effects without the computer, Dark Matters continues the analogue feel from the “Matter” video.
