An Astonishing Journal for Gentlemen
I read about this journal/blog on Kitsunenoir.com (the fox is black) almost a year ago, but forgot all about it, until I fell over my notes just seconds ago. It’s absolutely astonishing. I can’t understand how I forgot.
Grain & Gram – The New Gentleman’s Journal, is posting features and interviews with craftsmen and artist about their work and passion. Rarely have I seen a blog that is made so beautifully and with so thorough articles. The photographs are magnificent as well as the videos. I must admit, I have no idea whether it’s still running or not, because they, for some unknown reason, choose not to date their posts. Anyway, go check it out – maybe we are lucky to get some more.
I love the combination of the small illustrations and images in circles!
The images and video are from one of the features on the website. I suggest you pour yourself a big cup of coffee before jumping in, you wont be able to let it go again.

Chocolate season at theselby.com
This weekend the temperatures in Copenhagen are heading for 0 degrees. I can’t wait for a cozy indoor winter with books, warm bewrages and lovely chocolate. I would love to taste the legendary chocolate from The Mast Brothers chocolate factory, which is New York City’s only bean to bar chocolate factory. Check out more fantastic images at theselby.com

Slaraffenklang – a free album on a rainy Monday
Photo by Kenneth Nguyen.
I can not believe I missed this! I have been listening to Efterklang for a while, and I have become a big fan. Apparently they played in Pumpehuset with Slaraffenland a while ago. I read about the concert at a relatively new, but awesome blog called The Bistro. You should definitely give it a try, great food and splendid service – Do not worry about you not having the time, it is open for you 24 hours a day.
Also, check out the man behind the post: Photographer Kenneth Nguyen. He took some great photos at the concert, and has an awesome portfolio, recently updated with photos from the Distortion festival in Copenhagen.
Here is a tasty bite from the concert:

What defines heroism? Superman? Fidel Castro? Afghan resistance fighters? Our soldiers in Afghanistan? Captain America? Heinrich Himmler? Where does one cross over from heroism to terrorism? Where is the line separating freedom from oppression? Protagonist or antagonist? What lengths do we go to gain that bit of ego inflation?

We giggle every day when visiting FYVM
Tumblr-blogs is becoming a daily pleasure for me. For a long time I have been reading blogs containing lots of photos and writing. These tumblr-blogs I wanna show you is simple, fun and quick. For a couple of months I followed Fuck You Very Much (FYVM) without knowing that my friend Kristoffer (en7oy) actually was one of the two bright people behind. FYVM is sort of a visual diary where Kris and his friend Sine (?) is posting photos with a one-line description of their thoughts about the photo. Everytime new pics are posted I giggle and smile, I think you will to! Also follow them on twitter. Two other tumblrs I think you should take a look at is threeframes.net and theimpossiblecool. Anyone who knows other great quickies, please share??
