SWEDISH POWER METAL

If you're out and about this fine evening, swing by Local 522 (the one on 6th Ave) and check the hilarious 'Dudebuggy'. These strapping Swedish dockworkers are known as much for their hits as their on-stage antics. Songs like "Going Off Like Hasselhoff" and "Merchant Ships of the Night" will have you longing for the foggy shores of Stockholm.

Here's a little taste of Swedish Remix from my man Pierce for all you lovers out there.

CALGARY AFTER DARK

I recently had the fortune to have one of my side projects go to print. Swerve picked up my long exposures series of Downtown Calgary at night. Above are the pages, click them to see them BIG! (so you can read it if you like....sorta) Photo essays are the most fun.

NAKED & FAMOUS

Canadian newcomers, and North American answer to Cheap Mondays, Naked & Famous Denim use only the most unique and rare denim fabrics from Japan. The prestigious mill in Japan, from which they import all their fabric, is committed to producing only the best (and most expensive) denim in the world. Throughout each step in denim production (weaving, dyeing, finishing…) the mill uses a combination of old school and modern methods and practices. So much culture and history is poured into the fabric so that it can be appreciated by the denim purist.

They keep all their jeans raw and simple. No washes, no embroidery, no gimmicks… just the best fabric in the world combined with modern fits. They have eliminated these costly (and in my opinion unnecessary) after-effects, and have stripped down their jeans to the core essentials. Now true denimheads and newcomers alike can enjoy these special fabrics at a reasonable price.

Check it out here.

MODERN RAZOR

Some guys need to have it cut close every time. While the modern dual, triple, and quad blade razor may do it for most, they simply do not work for all. Baxter of California, known for their line of men’s grooming products presents their Double Edge Safety Razor. The DE Blade razor is made in Germany and designed to you that extra close finish. Presented with serious wet shavers in mind, the safety razor was first introduced in the late 18th century as an alternative (and ‘safer’) to a cut throat blade. DE blades are commonly known as the blade your father or grandfather used to use – today, classic style wet shaving is making a resurgence, along with the durable goods category. Look for it at the end of January through select retail outlets.

THE KNIFE TO RELEASE DARWIN OPERA ALBUM.

Commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma to write the music for their opera based on Charles Darwin and his book ‘On the Origin of the Species’, The Knife decided to make this a collaborative process, working with artists Mt. Sims and Planningtorock for the first time, to capture the huge width of the Darwin and evolution theme. They extensively researched Darwin related literature and articles, with Olof attending a field recording workshop in the Amazon to find inspiration and to record sounds.

‘Tomorrow, In A Year’ is a unique musical project. Richard Dawkins’s gene trees have formed the basis of some of the musical composition, artificial sounds have been mixed with field recordings, with the music inspired by everything from the different stages of a bird learning its melody, to a song based on Darwin’s loving letters about his daughter Anne. These are compositions that challenge the conventional conception of opera music.

Pushing the experimental process further still, composer, choreographer, costume designer and set designer worked separately, only coming together 3 and a half months before the first performance of ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’ in Copenhagen on the 2nd September 2009. Described as “shifting the position of operartic art in a single leap”, further performances of ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’ are confirmed to take place in Athens (8-9 Jan), Stockholm (29 Jan-1 Feb), and Munster (5 June), with further dates to be announced.

Olof Dreijer says: “At first it was very difficult as we really didn’t know anything about opera. We’d never been to one. I didn’t even know what the word libretto meant. But after some studying, and just getting used to opera’s essence of pretentious and dramatic gestures, I found that there is a lot to learn and play with. In fact, our ignorance gave us a positive respectless approach to making opera. It took me about a year to become emotionally moved by an opera singer and now I really do. I really like the basic theatrical values of opera and the easy way it brings forward a narrative. We’ve approached this before in The Knife but never in such a clear way.”

The first track to be taken from the album, called Colouring of Pigeons, is free to listen to here.
