Teenage Engineering
Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 2nd, 2010
Teenage Engineering makes really (really) nice looking things from their Stockholm studio. The first thing that caught my eye was the OP-1 synth. It looks amazing, with a fun, minimalistic design, but it actually seems like a very resourceful little music box as well.

Another good photographer i wanted to post here after Kim Høltermand the other week (almost starting to look like a photography series this) is Patricia Thompson. She caught my eye with the picture above. The composition and colours in that photo really struck a cord in me.

Problems in Firefox 3.6
Posted by Editors on January 28th, 2010
I’ve just noticed some problems with the site that appears in Firefox 3.6. For some reason it will not load the CSS, which of course messes things up. We’re working with the problem and hopefully it will be fixed very soon. In the mean time (if you are effected), use another browser, like Safari, or an older version of Firefox (3.5.7) to get your latest music and design updates the way they should be.
Beacuse of this, the site might be a bit unstable and the colours and the typography might look a bit off for a short while.
Oh, and if anyone has any idea what it could be, we would appreciate help.
Update: The problem is now fixed. Apparently, The newest version of Firefox has become particulary picky with quotations marks. We had overseen one single qoutation mark in the CSS file, causing the whole site to go down. So the morale of the story: be very cautious in the furure with quotation marks when coding CSS.

Therefore, since we haven’t had a tradtition for being exceptionally different and innovative so far, we’re gonna do our own list of top 5’s from the past 12 months, and we promise, this upcoming year, we’ll do some seriously innovative, original writing to make up for it.
