Ever wanted to be the DJ of your own soundscape? Nozier One’s simple UI lets you mix and layer sound cards to build a world of background noise—from cafe chatter to passing trains, ASMR to white noise, and beyond. Toggle through variants and save to your ideal soundscape to a playlist.
Must Be Chill
Coors Light is resurrecting the 900 mph Chill Train from 2005 for a :30 Super Bowl spot this year with beer can-shaped train cars and the chance to be a CGI passenger for 100 contractually chill winners. Plus, a $500 talent payout.
In a spot that’s sure to include some familiar faces and Easter eggs, Coors Light is appealing to the anxiety all of us. TBH, who doesn’t need a one-way ticket and a first-class seat on the Chill Train?
