“Dear idiot”

Somehow, it’s incredibly funny to act politely towards people you’d really prefer dead.

I like the morbid endnotes.

“Tokyo Moving”

Last October I travelled to Tokyo. And today I found some footage dating back to my amazing days in the biggest metropol of the world.

The live pictures were originally used to assist a new song titled “Rain In Summertime” by the splendid Danish band Velour as a rough first music video to their new album, “Undress Your Alibis”. Instead we chose to illustrate a different song called “Janey Black” – with a more ambitious storyline (this video should be finishing its colorgrading very soon! I’ll let you know, when it does).

But now, I present to you the awesome left-overs from the Tokyo shooting, quickly mixed and assisted by another fine tune:

“Tokyo Moving“

(music is Dntel’s “Anywhere Anyone”)

Lungs under control

While the Danish smoking ban ignites the anti-smoking industry of “stop smoking courses”, nicotine gum and something as ridiculous as reminding texts that tell you “don’t go there, man”, bar owners have entered their own silent battle against the ban. Creative shortcuts are being found around the country, i.e. a wardrobe with room for 200 coats – just to bring down the serving area (if the serving area is less than 40 sq. metres, smoking is still allowed).

But why introduce avoidable laws? Should the Danish Parliament go through the tiring process of agreeing on new laws, if the laws are so vaguely defined, that any bar owner wanting to compete for the smoking crowd, can move around a few chairs and set up half a wall.

I see two possible reasons for this interpretative legislation:
1) The government wants to tighten the bar, but still match its maternal “ism” (liberalism) and allow for bar and cafe owners to decide for themselves.
2) The government wants to start out lightly with a few holes. This gives the bar owners a feeling of “ha, we’re smarter than those legislative pricks” at this early stage – and slowly – every second year – the law will have a few extra points added to it – until you one day get hanged for smoking.

I’m afraid the second guess is nearer the reality, except for the ultimate stage, which might be exaggerated.

PS: I’m against this law to begin with.
