Yesterday we brought you a pair of superheroes making out and today it's all about girls and fruit. Something awesome is definitely in the Vancouver water, and we want to drink it all up.

You probably didn't think that when you woke up today you would get to watch Batman and Superman get drunk and make out, but alas, that is exactly what you will see in Sunshine's new video for "Showering With Wine". "Showering With Wine" appears on Sunshine's self-titled debut record due February 26th. With appearances by Sune Rose Wagner of the Raveonettes, John Collins of the New Pornographers, Woodie Taylor of Morrissey and Hayz Fisher of The New Values.

We've been fans of COMUИE since its inception, and although the guys have been able to sport the line, the ladies have been adoring from the sidelines. But not for long. Soon women will be able to embrace COMUИE with its first womenswear collection launching this fall.

No matter how much our world has turned to be focused online and how glued we are to our computers and smartphones, print is not dead. Terrapin Stationers makes us want to write notes, love letters, send thank you cards, and indulge in penmanship and snail mail.

Thumbtacks + Glue is Woodpigeon's first full-length since February 2010's Die Stadu Muzikanten, but the past three years have been anything but quiet with the release of two unofficial full-lengths, Balladeer in October 2010 and Diamonds this past September, to coincide with a North American tour supporting Patrick Wolf, along with multiple EPs and single.

To kickoff our 10-year anniversary, we're going larger than life with some of our favourite covers. Check out the ION billboards on the corner of Broadway and Kingsway in East Vancouver (just around the corner from our last pop-up shop). A big thank you to everyone who has been a part of the ION team along the way, including our contributors, photographers, distribution teams, and of course all our readers!

Thanks to design blog, Abduzeedo, we're reminded of all the brands we loved when growing up. From old pop bottles to items we had included in our 'breakfast of champions' - remember Quik? It's nice to remember these vintage designs with their retro branding and typography and compare them to the evolved packaging that we see today.

We love learning, but we loathe the debt that comes with it. That's why we love Trade School, a non-traditional learning community that runs on barter. Teachers propose classes and ask for barter items from the students; and students sign up for classes by agreeing to bring such barter items for the teacher. It's an easy concept: giving back to each other in more meaningful ways than what monetary value holds.

Second week into the new year and we're already failing on our resolutions. But not to worry, General Assembly knows that resolutions can be tough to keep, so they've come up with a plan to help with their "Letter To Yourself" reminder. Using their site, write a letter to yourself with your 2013 goals, and half way through the year, they will send it back to you to make sure you are keeping yourself on track.
