THE RAVEONETTES: IN AND OUT OF CONTROL

Posted by: Søren in Music

The Danish rock icon Sune Rose Wagner is skilled and very much a rock star. When he cancelled his album tour in Denmark this year he lost some of my respect. But listening to some of his music like his latest record named after himself: Sune Rose Wagner makes you forget he can be a disrespectful guy who cancels his concerts. The music is simple and rocking.

Sune Rose Wagner is a busy man and now his is back as The Raveonettes with a new album, which is being released Oktober 5th. The album is named: 'In and Out of Control'. I believe it is nice and as always quality music.

Ghostly Record’s new iPhone/iPod Touch app is an innovative application. The apps purpose is to let you sample all kinds of music from Ghostly records based on mood, color,  style, etc. The application take care of the rest, picking songs that fit your mood and probably introducing you to some artists you may not have heard.

The Danish brand, strategy and design consultancy Kontrapunkt - has just launched their new website. I like it at lot compared to their old one. The new website has a nice feel and the style is kept in typical Kontrapunkt style: White, grey and black colors and a simple and not to flashy look.

Check the new website out here: wwww.kontrapunkt.com and the pictures below.


Facebook has been around since 2004 and it took five years before the social network succeeded to become profitable (black numbers on the bottom line).

300 million. So many people around the world use today the social network Facebook, and the figure has been high for long. 
Nevertheless, it has taken five years before Facebook managed to get revenue to surpass the cost to operate the site.


Open source software is a really really great thing I think. I have built some websites (And they all look alike:-)) after all using open source software.  When I am seeking inspiration on the internet I always visit open source platforms like www.drupal.org, www.joomla.org, www.wordpress.org and www.indexhibit.org.

I have never made a website in www.indexhibit.org, but I think the CMS look promising if you take a look on their website. After checking out some cool websites made with indexhibit a funny thought struck me. Why do all graphic designers think like each other? Browsing the site showcase on indexhibit I realized that their all made by someone within the graphic design business.

Today I bought a new bike. I like bikes with a clean and minimal look and after 2 hours of research I decided to go for a Centurion Basic Classic single speed. I guess I am a pretty conservative consumer because this is my Centurion bike number two. And because Copenhagen is flat as a pancake I think a single speed bike is perfect. Looking forward to try it out.
