Sinner DC - They Never Stay

2010-02-23T18:50:00.003+01:00

While we're at it posting music videos let's have a look at this fantastic video directed by my After Effects teacher Joan Guasch, starring myself amongst others. As you can see Joan forced me too ride a set of escalators barefoot over and over again ( a major nightmare scenario for me. ) on what I remember as one of the coldest days ever in Barcelona, but on the other hand he also thought me how to do stuff in After Effects. So I guess we're even steven on this one. Anyhow, enjoy this video and also make sure you visit Joan's website.

Iranian Wedding

2010-01-08T01:57:00.003+01:00

Yes, Iranian weddings are awesome, I would be the first one to agree! The food is great, the people are nice, and the dancing is insane even though it gets out of hand from time to time. Now during my 27 years I have been to a couple of them, mostly when I was a kid. But nowhere in my recollection can I find ANYTHING like this! If there was a top-list of Iranian weddings this one would without an doubt be the undisputed super heavyweight champion of them all! Is there really a dude with Aladdin pants and a MJ jacket doing freakin handstand on crotches or am I dreaming!??

Snus Hits The States

2009-10-01T19:48:00.002+02:00

Stephen Colbert seems to be very into Sweden lately, first with the appearance of Luleå's finest, Movits and not so long ago with the Swedish tobacco industries finest, snus on the Colbert Report. Cuudos to you Stephen! As we Swedes know snus is not something to mess around with if you're a newbie, no sir. First time snusers normally end up vomiting involuntarily, which is not to be confused with voluntary vomiting, which according to my people seems to be a popular pastime amongst kids nowadays. Stephen however handles it like a Lapplandish lumberjack! Have a peek here, since I can't seem to embed the damn clip.

The Best Night of Our Lives!

2009-09-28T15:26:00.004+02:00

So the weekend is once again over and with it the Mercè 09 festival. This is ( for does who don't know ) a street festival with free concerts from some pretty big acts playing around Barcelona, and as usual it sucked balls. Crowded streets, drunk teenagers gone bat shit and bad sound all around.

The Friday was ok with The Go! Team playing at Plaza Real. We also went out to Forum to check out our buddy Hector and his friends thug it up a notch with their fixed gear bikes on stage at the 7 Notas 7 Colores concert, which meant we had to wrestle our way home on the metro at 5 in the morning. So in other words the Saturday started out with a "stay in and do nothing" mentality.

The Saturday night started out with watching the Barça game in Gracia with Hector, Madde and Albin at this bar Hector had been talking about with 1 euro beers. So naturally the "stay in and do nothing" mentality quickly changed to "hey why not" when Hector suggested we go hang out in Born where his friend Oliver from 7 Notas 7 Colores was DJing. Well at the place Pedro, Mackan and Vanessa showed up and the whole Equally Foolish crew was united. Soon the mood went from "hey why not" to "this could be something", and the rest ladies and gentlemen was a night for the history books!

To our surprise non other than Tony Touch a.k.a Tony Toca was also there since he had Dj'd for 7 Notas 7 Colores the night before, and beat after beat and song after song was laid down. I think they played every tune we could ever wish for and the mood went straight up to "I can't handle this no more" which in it's turn meant an invasion of the dancefloor.

You know when your expecting something to stop just because you think it cant get any better? Well this beast would not be stopped! Well after 3 a clock when they normally close the place and people had left, the beast transformed it self into a private gig with Oliver a.k.a Mucho Muchacho doing some freestyling on the headphones and Toca at the tables, and when they played the song which I have posted, we all went into "fainting like a lady in a classic movie" mode and I personally felt like I was 15 again.

The morning after I didn't wake up with a hangover, but with a smile on my face going from one ear too the other! Thank you Hector, Mucho and Toca for the best freakin night ever!

The Real Life Bloodsport

2009-09-08T10:18:00.002+02:00

I was watching the 1988 movie Bloodsport on TV last night, and to my surprise the freaking story is actually based on a real fighter named Frank Dux. Although he didn't have Jean-Claude Van Damme's ridicules accent, he did participate and win a secretly held underground full contact mixed martial arts tournament called "Kumite" by beating the living crap out of the ruling champion Chong Li, visously portraid by Bolo Yeung, the dude with the thorax that puts the porn industry to shame.

Here's two clips, one where Mr. Dux takes his fury out on a Jack Daniels bottle, two champagne bottles and finally topping it of with putting his fist trough a layer of goddamn bulletproof glass! The second clip is an interview he did in 2008 where he talks about his career and how he breaks stuff. Enjoy.

What I thought would be just another mundane reading exercise turned out to be one of the most interesting and entertaining texts I have ever read. Written in 1972 the subjects that Berger talks about are highly relevant until this day. Here's the BBC television series also from the 70's that lead up to the book. Enjoy!

Apologies!

We would like to apologize to all of you who showed up at IDEP after 22:00 and had to stand outside without any info, and everybody who went all the way to the old location to find that there was no expo.

Due to limitation of time and resources to communicate the sudden change of plan to everyone mistakes where done and we are terribly sorry for that!

Thanks!

Thank you all for showing up for our, quote "very much over and misleadingly advertised and poorly oraganized" expo! Without you guys and your thirst for Swedish creativity ( read alcohol ) we wouldn't had the great time that we had!

I personally would like to thank, Oscar at IDEP, Alessandro and Fabio at IED, without them this would have been impossible.

Our sponsors for the event, Freixenet for the cava, Snö for the gift-bags, IDEP and IED for all they did.

Albin for sharing the stress of organizing the expo, Belen, Sally and Tia for helping out with everything. Mackan for bringing his Dj equip for a short set. Klara for setting up her own stuff and saving us a lot of time.

The staff and students of IDEP. The reception ladies for dealing with us setting up an expo while they were working. The janitor for all his help.

Nico, for doing the website, Ignasi, Marc and the rest of the guys who helped out with cutting, writing and hanging stuff.

And of course all our friends who exhibited their works!

Interview: Dj Delirious & Thomas Niemi of Happy People

2008-11-17T10:14:00.003+01:00

A while back I was at "The Palace", the headquarters of Dj Delirious to have a chat with Thomas Niemi creator and mastermind behind the brand Happy People which in a couple of days will exhibit his new collection in Barcelona Spain for the first time ever! The occasion is of course From Sweden With Love, a first of it's kind event at the restaurant Gente de Pasta.

Find out why Thomas digs Mediterranean underwear and what Dj Delirious has to offer you kids in his goodies bag!

Let's start out with some short personal info.

MC: Marcus Carlsson form Bjorksgatan Lulea, 28 years old also known as Dj Delirious.

TN: And I'm Thomas Niemi, 30 years old, born in Svappavara but I have lived in Lulea for most of my life. I run my brand Happy People, I also Dj under different names, Youngucci, Toast Ghost etc.

I heard you used to have a club together, what was that about?

MC: Thomas usually books me as a DJ whenever I'm in Lulea, at the moment I'm living in Barcelona, but I go back home a couple of times each year and he always books me, Thomas is the promoter and organizer behind the whole thing.

TN: Yeah, me and a couple of other guys run different clubs and invite DJ's and artists.

Do you have artists form Sweden or are there any international names as well?

TN: We have actually had people form all over the world.

And if you have to name drop?

TN: Well then we can name drop two Jamaican artists we had a couple of years ago, Sunjay and Alozade that we flew in form Jamaica. Then we had Michael Knight, Million Styles, Kazey from Paris who is a really good DJ and in a couple of weeks we will have a guy called Strip Steve from Bordeaux, he plays two venues in Sweden one in Umea and another one Lulea and we're the guys behind that. And of-course Marcus who has his place booked with us whenever he's in town.

So what do you normally play Marcus?

MC: Electro-house or whatever you want to call it, it goes under a lot of names these days. A lot of bass and pretty funky stuff and I mix it up with old hits and goodies.

And what is the biggest difference between playing records here in Barcelona as opposed to Sweden, do people like the same music?

MC: Well I feel like there's a big difference, here in Spain the music usually tends to get a bit dark specially here in Barcelona. People here like heavy or minimalist Techno and I'm starting to get a bit bored with it, In Sweden people normally go out to clubs to get there party on without really choosing a place based on the music they play there, specially on Thomas's nights people really expect to hear different types of music and he or Bruce Lp normally play their hip-hop and dancehall before I go on and I really like it cause the people get started up in a good way.

Ok Thomas let's talk a little about Happy People, how did it all start?

TN: I started my first brand in 96 which was more of a skate brand and then in 97 we had our first shop called Rudie. In 2000 I bought the store and changed the name to Agent and at the same time I started having clubs that where called Happy People's Club, from there on I started making clothing and changed the name of the store to Happy People. In the beginning I mostly had T-shirts and hoodies but during the last couple of years I have incorporated more fashion design to broaden it a bit more and now I have collections with shirts, pants, jackets, beanies and bags in addition to the T-shirts and hoodies.

Do you have guest designers or do you do everything yourself?

TN: I do all the design and come up with all the ideas and then i get some help form people like Albin Holmqvist and Victor Persson with some of the graphics since I'm not that good with Illustrator and that part. But all the ideas are mine.

Marcus, you have also done some stuff for Happy People right?

MC: Well since I study Fashion Marketing here in Barcelona I help Thomas with some of the PR and communication and give him tips on that, stuff like writing press releases for magazines and media in general. I also helped out with making the look-books for the two last collections.

TN: It's really nice to have someone to help me out with that since I work so much my self, someone to exchange ideas with and get tips from about stuff I really don't know that much about.

You recently started a web-shop with the help of Marcus right?

Yeah with the help of Marcus, Albin Holmqvist and a Spanish guy I never met, that's the guys who have helped me out with starting the web shop and it's the forst website I have had during these 8 years and it was about time to have one so it feels really good!

Tell us about the new fall/ winter collection you recently released.

TN: Well as you mentioned it recently came out, I always name my collections and this one is called Stand By Me and is inspired by the movie with the same name. I have tried to create the feeling I get when I watch that movie, the American 50's with a Happy People twist.

Are you working on anything new?

TN: I have kind of started on some new stuff, since I work with each season at a time I don's feel the same pressure as the other brands who work on several seasons in advance. I try to build up something based on an idea and when I get an idea the process is relatively short form that to the final product and I really enjoy working that way. Then me and Albin Holmqvist just started on a thing that's really not for any collection, it's more a fun and in season thing.

So how do you like Barcelona and the fashion here?

TN: It's the first time I'm here so far I haven't really seen anything that have inspired me, however I shouldn't really rule anything out in the short time I have been here. (laughs.)

I heard you went to the flee market in Encants, how was that?

TN: Yeah that was really fun, I love going to markets and Encants was insane, stuff everywhere, a bit chaotic but I loved it found a lot of cool stuff. I saw a lot of furniture that I wished I could take with me back home. I kinda like the underwear culture in countries like Spain, France and Greece and I usually get stuff like wife-beaters etc when I'm there. I look at stuff like that, traditional clothing, things elder people wear etc. (laughs.)

Ok let's talk a bit about the expo, is it the first time you're a part of anything like this or has there been more fashion shows?

TN: Let me think. I have been more involved with fashion shows, I also organized some shows on my own for different collections. I feel like it's important cause it the clothing by it self doesn't necessarily show the intention I had with it and by having fashion shows or in this case an expo you are able to show how you think they should be worn or combined so it's going to be really nice! Too bad I can't be here for it, but I'm looking forward to it anyway.

Is it the first time you're showing your stuff outside of Sweden?

TN: No I actually done some things in Norway, mostly in Scandinavia and a thing in Russia as well. Never in Spain though.

So Marcus what can we expect from you on the opening night, have you thought out anything?

MC: Good music! Since it's a Swedish theme to it there's going to be a lot of Swedish stuff, really depends on the crowd. I have some ideas but I won't tell you, it's going to be an surprise! (laughs.)

And finally is there anything you guys want to add, anyone you would like to thank?

MC: I would like to thank for the opportunity to dj at something different than the typical night club, it's going to be a blast!

TN: Yeah I would also like to thank for the opportunity to be a part of something like this, it feels good after all the hard work, it's always nice to get appreciation for the time and effort you put into something. I would also like to thank Albin Holmqvist for all his help.

You might think a football shirt designed by ( and probably for.) Steven Seagal would be bad-ass. Well, you're wrong. Haven't you exploited and done enough damage to the once so proud indigenous people of the North-American continent? //Shahin

Awesomeness: Spike Jonze Gap Commercial

2008-09-19T10:33:00.002+02:00

Hey friends! Who said that guy's can only do one thing at the time?
Check out our main man Furio showing off his mad cowboy skillz!
If you dont think The Sopranos is the best series ever aired you're stupid. No exceptions!
Oh if you're faint hearted or just a pussy and feels sorry for the people getting beat up, remember that they didn't pay their protection money, Whatcha gonna do?

( I just feel like we have to point out that Furio doesn't discriminate women, they get the same treatment as everybody else, whether it's a fat juicy punch in the face or sweet sweet lovin'. //Shahin )

Weirdness: Penguin becomes a 'Sir'

2008-08-18T16:58:00.004+02:00

"A penguin which was previously made Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian Army has been knighted at Edinburgh Zoo."

It's somehow not surprising that the penguin Nils Olav made it all the way to the rank of Colonel-in-Chief in the Norwegian Army, nor that he's been knighted. What's surprising here is that the link is from BBC, which I up to 15 minutes ago considered a serious source for serious news.

The Mighty Morphing Power Rangers

2008-08-05T17:03:00.005+02:00

It's not like the show wasn't cool as it was, high production value, special effects, robots, morphing and transforming, awesomely choreographed fight scenes and last but not least a kick ass metal theme song! Do I need to go on? But for some reason this French version of the morphing sequence makes things ten times more awesome. It's like the rangers went to college and came back smarter and more cultural than ever. They sound like they could tell you if a wine was bad or not just by smelling it, blindfolded and under attack from evil.

Bad Fight, not the good kind of bad

2008-08-01T16:20:00.003+02:00

I once saw a pretty bad fight scene, I saw my buddy Ålen "The Eel" get his pizza kicked out of his hands by a chick who thought he was someone else. This fight scene is not as bad as the one just mentioned, never the less bad.

Religion VS. Physics

2008-07-30T15:51:00.003+02:00

The saying what goes up, must come down does obviously not apply to the christian religion. On the 20th of April Brazilian Reverend Aderil Antonio Carlis took of with the help of hundreds of helium filed balloons, I will repeat that, HUNDREDS OF HELIUM FILLED BALLOONS....... in order to raise money to build spiritual rest stops for Brazilian truck-drivers. It all makes perfect sense right?

What Reverend Bat-shit insane forgot was that the laws of physics demand that,and I can't stress this enough, what ever goes up, must come down! So he crashed into the fucking ocean and died, making him the all time champion of dumb ass deaths.

Now if his mission had been to kill himself I would be in awe. Think of it, what a way to go! Actually this gives me something to aim at in life. Thank you Reverend!

Ryan Sheckler, misunderstood teen or "Paris Hilton on wheels"?

2008-07-24T16:45:00.004+02:00

I remember Lee Smith once saying that he thought that Ryan Sheckler thinks that what he's doing is "normal" and that he probably can't see whatever wrongdoing he's doing is as lame as a lamas ass on heroin. Now for you who don't know, he's pretty much ruining skateboarding and turning it in too some sort of extreme action reality TV eye-raping spectacle.

I have to say that I kind of believed what Lee was saying. I thought, well the poor guy is most likely clueless and thinks that this is what pro-skateboarders do. Oh boy where we wrong!

In this little ESPN article I'm about to post, you will see the true face ( pimple free as it is nowadays ) of Ryan.
We also get opinions from friends of Sheckler, such as amish boy turned pro-skateboarder Jereme Rogers.

"The real skate rats, they don't want to see Panasonic have anything to do with skating". "Personally, I think skateboarding is harder than throwing a basketball into a hoop, so I'm all for it growing up and being taken seriously. Ryan is helping do that, and he gets hated on the hardest.". Lady's and gentlemen, do I even need to tell you how fucking wrong he is!?

So please reed this interview and hate harder and faster than you ever hated before, cause it is the hating that has kept skateboarding interesting for centuries and centuries to come.
