Ah, and while we are at it. I have to show you two of my favourite tracks for the time being. Two songs by the Klaxons. And as you can see: neon colors all over the place..

Klaxons – “Gravity’s Rainbow”

Klaxons – “Atlantis to Interzone”

Turn up the volume for this track!!

Ok, no question about what colours and style we ought to follow the next months: Its New Rave with neon colours and a happy mix of the 80s and 90s rave. Klaxons sing the soundtrack well, BUT I think that somehow things become so similar. Just have a look at the screenshots of the Norwegian musicfestivals websites:

Øya:

Quart:
Hove (not really the same colorscheme, but quite similar freaky illustration style to Øya):
Oh, and if I have to choose festival: Hove has by far the best line-up. At least for my liking. Anyone want to join me!?

Have just discovered http://www.netvibes.com/ It’s a site similar to Google’s “Home” site, however being a Mac addicct, I prefer Netvibes layout and easy userinterface. Also I love the idea that one acctually doesn’t have to log on to be able to use it. Registering is however useful, as Netvibes saves the settings and they won’t get lost in case you delete your cookies. Also if you use multiple computers like me, you can easily get your personlised page on the other computer by logging in.

The RSS feeds are quite good too, being able to see Aftenposten, NYT, Spiegel and El Pais at the same time.

Only, I think they should get a smaller clock. The so called “mini-clock” is really not “mini”. More like “major”. Oh, well. Can’t get’em all at once I suppose..

Happy easter! (and if you happen to see Valentin today: congratulate him from me. It’s his birthday! Hurra!)

Fantastic funny Apple presentation

Found this REALLY ugly site http://www.kongkaffe.no/ promoting coffee. It looks really like the Borat site. If figured out that someone w money was behind the site. Who else would put 2 full newspaperspreads in Natt&Dag..;? Surely not some guy called Roar…?

I think its quite cool made though and it works well. Made me look at least..

This Tarantino movie looks really cool! The art department have done a really good job with the trailer and especially the website. Have never seen a site with so much info and extras. Closest I come is “V for Vendetta”, which also have great design.

The “Make your own trailer” of Grindhouse is excelent (seen on the left):

A really interesting book concept by Penguin:

Just discovered the artist Hanne Hukkelberg through Andreas Palegolas who plays with Rockettothesky. He made this fantastic video for the song “Cheater’s Armoury”, see more of his stuff at: http://www.palegolas.se

Three of Hanne´s songs can be heard here:

“The Northwind” and “Cheater’s Armoury” are so far my favourites. So get her albums “Little things” and “Rykestrasse 68″!

Some live stuff, mainly from music festival in Barcelona
