Meet Mokonoki – the new playmate at Klippan14 Feb 2010

Happy Valentine’s day everyone! Here at Klippan the love recently rose with 50% when a new member of the Klippan crew entered the scene. Let me introduce to you Mokonoki!

He quickly found his place next to Bupp and seems to adapt fast to his new home. Don’t get fooled by his somewhat grumpy face, it’s his character and he wouldn’t change for all love and icecream in the world. Bupp is the opposite; always pleased with the circumstances and enjoying the moment, so this yin & yang couple should be perfect for each other.

Wicked heels found at Style.com13 Feb 2010

Oh my effin’ God! Style.com is as huge as the URL gives hints of, and like us they like to go out in the streets and find interesting styles to share with their visitors. I found these amazing heels over there. You gotta love the designer’s effort, although I don’t know if many women voluntarily would risk their ankles for  this.

Bad interior design11 Feb 2010

I guess this is how we would have started out if we had decided to do InteriorGiveAfuck instead of TrendGiveAfuck. This is a perfect example of how it goes when someone who kind of thinks he got it does his thing. You know, the guy who thinks he’s actually quite a good dancer, or pretty good with women, or in this case, has a good sense of style and interior design. You don’t wanna be mean and tell them they’re not, but with just a few pinpointed tips they would get so much better at what they do.

As long as you are aware of wahat you’re doing it’s all fine, because we can tell; you got your style and your flavour all over the place. But when you’re not aware, then things go flipside very fast. 

Please, don’t do this at home:

- Having 90% of your furniture from Ikea doesn’t make it very personal.

- Shoving off your media equipment is not captain in any way.

- Squeezing in your bar on a tiny side table, and have it on display in your living room is not captain either. Especially not when it includes bag-in-box vodka.

- Fake brick walls does not make it look like a NY studio. It just looks tacky.

- DON”T PUT A SLICK AS HELL BALL CHAIR IN YOUR OTHERWISE UNBELIEVABLY BORING LIVING ROOM.

Moby – In This World3 Feb 2010

Classic ambient electro I guess everyone recognizes. These poor guys in the video are a lot different from the earthlings, and yet no one sees them. Aww

Don’t be afraid, say HELLO to them, and buy them small espressos next time you see them! Most talkative persons you meet are actually just friends you haven’t got to know yet.

The XX, Weekday, girls’ taste in music, and guys’ will to change anything26 Jan 2010

We don’t have this blog to be politically correct, so I take the liberty of saying: Swedish girls’ taste in music sucks. Too many are saying “I listen to a little bit of everything” when they really mean they listen to the terrible pop channels or Eurovision Contest winners and nominees. Blah.

Okay, Swedish people in general have bad taste, but what an article in Swedish events blog “DN På Sta’n” indicates, is that of all shopkeepers in different clothes shops, guys are the most prominent in complaining or taking control of what music is being played in their shop.

Why? I wish I knew!

A while back before I got work as a graphics and web designer, I used to work at 7-Eleven. All 7-Eleven stores have a contract with Swedish radio channel RixFM (which sucks balls, mainly because they plays the same Top 10 tracks over and over again) and must be played during all 24 opening hours. I, of course, always brought my iPod with me, to many customer’s delight. Like 7-Eleven, most shops have a deal with a channel, or must play CDs or playlists ordered from “up top”. Weekday, on the other hand, has quite a different approach, and quite different music. From the article mentioned earlier I read “because most of the employees are male” and “guys have demands”. They even have a DJ booth at their store.

C’mon, you girls with strong wills and opinions – teach your girlfriends that there is so much music out there, and when you want something – go ahead and take control! You just might meet a guy with the same taste in music and life

DanceGiveAfuck 003 feat. Ke$ha – Tik Tok20 Jan 2010

We met Ke$ha at a party in Stockholm. She said she wanted to see us making a music video. So we did. Adorian had a charlie horse. The Licious had ants in his pants. We prove that Elementary School Disco and Capoeira, mixed with Jerking is really captain!

How do you like Ke$ha’s tune “Tik Tok?”
