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.

Andrew Tate pulls in a hundred and eighty-four million dollars a year from a single subscription platform selling online courses to young men about how to get rich. The business model writes itself: find a twenty-year-old who feels like the world left him behind, tell him it’s women’s fault and the system’s fault and everyone’s fault except the people charging him $49.99 a month, then sell him a subscription. A new report from Reset Tech calls the manosphere what it actually is: a multibillion-dollar grift economy. Not a movement, not a philosophy. A sales funnel that runs on male loneliness...

Thirty-seven tracks across two drops this week. House and drum and bass fought for dominance, dubstep crashed uninvited, and somebody dug up a Moby sample from 1999 and made it hit all over again. Big week. Track of the Week Everything But The Girl - Run A Red Light (Logistics Remix) Tracey Thorn’s voice is unmistakable inside two bars, and handing another EBTG song to a dance producer is a small piece of poetry if you know the history: “Missing” got turned into a global smash by a house remix in the nineties, basically writing the whole playbook. Logistics, a...

Eighteen American soldiers are dead and the president called it small potatoes. That’s a direct quote. Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office on Thursday and said the war he started with Iran is “small potatoes” because only eighteen Americans died. He compared it to Vietnam, the logic being that because fewer people died than in a war that killed fifty-eight thousand over twenty years, this one barely registers. Eighteen is a rounding error. Eighteen is within the margin of acceptable loss. He delivered this with the same energy you’d use to explain why you’re not tipping. Those eighteen people...
