An Australian designer Chris Malloy claims to have built a real Hoverbike. This hoverbike is powered by a 1170 cc engine and is capable of lifting 595 pound off the ground. It can be expect to travel at an upwards of 170 mph, and you can take it to 10,000 feet or maybe even higher. It weighs in at about 242 pounds which is actually light and the body is made of carbon fiber and kevlar-wrapped foam. There currently is no price tag yet for this bad boy. It's still in the testings phase but if you really can't wait and would like to purchase a Hoverbike, they can build you a working prototype. So happy hovering.

It has arrived! After three long years Death Cab for Cutie has released their new album Codes and Keys. This being their 7th album it seems that on this new album they worked more on using experimental sounds which gives the album a more flourished sound. Setting aside their acoustic guitars they chose to use analog synths and soothing strings, which slowly unfolds throughout the album.
Codes and Keys is an album full of catchy melodies and beautiful compositions while Ben Gibbard sings of the growth of adulthood and the stability and optimism of the future. This album may just out do Death Cabs previous albums or not I will let you be the judge of that. Death Cab though is one of those few bands that have been able to evolve with their audience without leaving behind that magic that captured our ears in the early days of emotional and melancholy music.
If you want to hear the whole album then head over to NPR where you can stream the new album Codes and Keys.
