Sounds like money just a killer group of people, the amazing french duo, Justice, one of the most innovative music video directors, Romain Garvais, and a great record label, Ed Banger, what more can you ask for. So this is a definite must find when its releases later this year.

This is great interview about Dan Brown of the Holiday Matinee Fame, accidentally became a music mogul.

Accidental music mogul Dave Brown helped launch the careers of Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes and The Album Leaf, among others. These days his record label turned consulting company, Holiday Matinee, beefs up the resumes of dot-coms and other merchants of cool. I got a chance to talk to Brown about the details of his journey from music enthusiast to a record label founder. Illustration by Matt Stallings.

Continuing Danish Architecture Week - yes I gave it a theme name - I wanted to share the newest project by 3XN: The BLUE PLANET, located in Copenhagen, at the island of Amager. “We wanted to stage a totality of the experience one has visiting an aquarium. The starting point was this magnificent experience of actually watching fish in their element. We wanted to create that adventurous feeling, and we took inspiration in the natural phenomenon of the whirlpool or maelstrom drawing you into the deep. A sculpture at the coast it unites the natural elements of water, air and earth.” You can check it out on their website, 3XN.dk.

 
Now I know this isn't danish architecture, but I felt the need to share the news of Diller Scofidio + Renfro's new website. If you like DSR as much as I do, you'll be excited to know the website, not only badass, but also constains a bunch of new projects by the firm from NYCity. So PLEASE do me, and yourself, a favor and check out their new website.

 

I feel as I have to make up for the, apparently, not-so-new news of Coop Himmelb(l)au's korean project while at the same time I want to take the chance to showcase another project of one of my favorite firms...BIG. These are the Walter Towers, in Prague, Czech Republic. BIG states, "What will appear as four different towers is actually one continuous building that is sliced up and pulled apart to maximize the amount of surface and facade area to create attractive apartments.” Seeing that I'm a sucker for Danish firms like JDS, 3XN, and BIG I have decided that, for the next week or so, I'll be introducing projects from each of these firms...hope you enjoy!

 

A new company Sunrgi claims to have developed a method of making solar panels that can produce energy at around the same cost as coal. The method they use is to simply magnify the sun before it hits the conductor using the same principles children around the world have used to fry ants. This could be revolutionary but I sadly remain skeptical untill i see it implemented since I am still waiting on Nanosolar to live up to their claims
