Yesterday I finally went to the movies to see "Drive" instructed and directed by Danish Nicolas Winding Refn. A super action and emotional movie which is accompanied with great music.

Watch the trailer below, go watch the movie and listen to the opening scene/soundtrack by The Chromatics - Tick Of The Clock - recommendable!

I have been watching the American TV series Mad Men about Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York City for the last couple of years. The main character as you all may know is the great advertising and don juan, Don Draper. His ability as a problem solver (women, advertising etc) is unique and if you ever get a problem you can't solve? Well you have been saved by Don Draper.

Check out the below "Don Draper a drink fixes the problem model". Funny and effective. And a bit unhealthy.

Heart is the new name for the redesigned Museum of contemporary art in Herning, Denmark. The museum, which opens today, was designed by American architect Steven Holl. The name of the museum and the corporate identity is designed by the Danish branding and design consultancy firm: Kontrapunkt A/S. I think it is brilliant.

The danish newspaper Berlingske has wrote an article about the new museum today. They are very happy about the result and they request everyone to visit the museum. Check out the article written in danish here or read on for an english version (Taken from berlingske.dk and translated with Google translate). Chech out the pictures of the new museum below or visit their website here.

Being a "fan" of electronic music superstar Ricardo Villalobos for a long period I think I do owe him a post on my blog. This blog post I have found on the music portal FACT magazine and is not written by me. As the title says it is all about essential Villalobos stuff. The 10 best records made by Villalobos followed by a kind of nerdy music description is what this post is all about. Nice reading.

Enjoy

One of the fundamental - and most exciting courses I have been studying throughout my master at Copenhagen Business School is Consumer Behavior. Responsible for the course was Marketing Professor Torben Hansen ( He recently wrote a chapter in Philip Kotlers well known Marketing Management book and won a prize for his research) - super competent scientist within the field of Consumer Behavior and marketing.

And what has this got to do with Facebook? Well. One of the theories we were taught in Consumer Behavior is about people, individuality and groups and how every one of these adopt trends. The theory is originally developed by an American Marketing professor named Everett M. Rogers.


FISCHMOB AKA DJ KOZE

Fischmob is a Hip Hop group founded by a German dj/producer named DJ Koze (Super cool dj). In highschool I had german..and I remember the lessons as rather boring and not very sexy. And what a shame actually. German can be so nice and sexy. It took me quite some years to acknowledge that. Well...it is never to late to regret that you have been mistaken.

See what I mean?:


TWIN PEAKS

A fundamental "mistake" in my childhood is the lack of being introduced to the absolutely amazing tv series Twin Peaks instructed and directed by David Lynch. Anyway I had the pleasure of receiving a gold ediition dvd from my girlfriend with the entire series of Twin peaks. This autumn I therefore spent at least one evening a week in company with Twin Peaks. 29 episodes. And what a great experience.

The whole setup is just fantastic and I do recommend that if you have not seen Twin Peaks. Well..off you go...it is great. Check out these videos below. The first is the intro for Twin Peaks. Very cool.
