arts & crafts . home of broken social scene, jason collett, stars, feist, apostle of hustle, valley of the giants

This is a really cool Canadian Production company, that I just learned about from an aquaintance. It’s mostly a record label, but to quote their website:

Arts & Crafts is a record label, artist management, design house, distribution and production company… dedicated to the development and proliferation of beauty and greatness in all disciplines of the arts.

I think that Canadian “rock”/”alternative” (for lack of a better term) music is quite underestimated. It is in many respects similar to the Danish alternative scene, great talent and potential, but very limited international success. Successfull Danish acts, that you might have heard of, are not exactly “alternative” – for instance Aqua and Junior-Senior (oh well, maybe they’re a little alternative).

Another cool thing – you can purchase and download the entire A&C catalogue as MP3, no DRMs attached – thumbs up!

Unbeliveable. Yesterday there were two, very badly researched, technology related reports on the Danish Public Service networks.

First the story on Google offering search for cheap airfares, now the announcement of a WiFi enabled “cell-phone” that can place calls using Skype.

The Googlification of Danish Public Service media

It’s very strange…

Everytime Google comes up with a new service, it’s reported, witout any comments or journalism, by the mainstream Danish Public Service media, but now I feel it’s turning into a problem, with the press surrounding the new travel search service, that Google reportedly is introducing.

Press Release: Spitzer Captures Cosmic Mountains of Creation

Press Release: Spitzer Captures Cosmic Mountains of Creation

NASA har netop frigivet et billede kaldet “Cosmic Mountains of Creation”. Billedet er taget af NASAs “Spitzer Space Telescope“.

Billedet viser et område med kosmisk støv, hvor der foregår stjerne dannelse. Det er et utroligt imponerende billede.

Det minder meget om “Pillars of Creation“, som Hubble tog for nogle år siden.

ZENTROPA

The website for the danish film production company ZENTROPA, has the most off-the wall/”nerdy funny” website design I’ve seen in a while.
