While running an errand this morning I ran into our old UPS guy wearing the vintage Ray Bans that we had given him our first year in business. Pretty weird considering yesterdays blog post.

I can’t help from pulling again from the new offshoot of The Impossible Cool, A Conversation On Cool. Featuring a link to a song (something new for the cool blog brand) this post delves into social issues writing, ““Rumble” by Link Wray, was banned after initial release by several radio stations on the grounds that it glorified juvenile delinquency.”
The song is amazing, and the sunglasses Link Wray is wearing in the photo really remind me of an earlier version of the Bausch & Lomb Olympian I. Below you’ll see Sterling Morrison of The Velvet Underground pictured in a similar style.

Thanks to Nick Maggio from A Time to Get on his Vue to a kill post, and for getting his glasses in New York. Always great to get love from the West coast.


Let certain things define you, and in turn you define what they mean to the world.
