Off The Record blog feat. Uusi Fantasia

We don’t know which should be the main subject of the post – the blog or the band – but for those of you who don’t know Uusi Fantasia, get to know their music. Reason: It’s beyond ok. Get to know here.

And then about the Off The Record blog and their latest post.

According to themselves:

“Off The Record is independent live music / short film video blog…Bands are invited to play short, mainly acoustic Off The Record session in some unique place such as bowling alley, museum, sailing boat, gym, market place cafeteria, sauna, fan’s apartment…”

Their latest post is pretty unarming.

It’s Uusi Fantasia playing live in a sports hall in Helsinki, with a Finnish old school singer Freeman. This time they sing in Finnish, but if you have limited skills with that, we think this might still be quite nice.

Great pics of classic Finnish design in Artek Open Archives. Have a look! Terrible flash-site unfortunately not loyal to the design principles of the company…

I Know Why No

nordicpordic — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 09:42:33 +0000

Designer Aino Vainio, who’s behind the I Know Why No – collection, must be really poor, since all her clothes seem to have holes in them.

Her designs are pretty cool and so are the photos. Very Finnish.

Pictures are from different collections. Idea for the post is stolen from liisajokinen.com. Thanks again!

You’ve probably heard of this one already. Angry Birds.

nordicpordic — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 14:16:56 +0000

If you’re one of the 11 million +++ players of Angry Birds here’s probably not much new to you. We just wanted to introduce this iPhone blockbuster by a Finnish game developer Rovio. It’s been the no1 paid app in 67 countries, including UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia and US, where it held the top position for almost half a year. So…umm…that’s about it. Cool game.

This is the game that proved to be pretty addictive:
