Canblau
Tapas i verdensklasse i Århus
Klostergade i Århus kommer i fremtiden, udover klostergrønt og fulde unge, til at rumme byens nok bedste tapasrestaurant. Siden de fleste af byens såkaldte tapastallerkner ikke har meget med tapas at gøre, kan Canblau måske endda med rette kalde sig byens eneste tapasrestaurant.
Køkkenchefen på stedet hedder Jimmy Holm og han har tidligere været ansat på ElBullí i Spanien. Hvorvidt han har været der før eller efter Adría gik amok i det molekylære ved jeg ikke, men konceptet her hælder mod før. Vi vil her på LeHype besøge Canblau på Søndag og vil i den forbindelse introducere en ny stil indenfor vores anmeldelser. Hvordan den ser ud kan I jo se hvis I har lyst. Indtil da kan i læse mere om Canblau her..
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
In Aarhus we have been fortunate enough to have lived to see the day when a classy tapas inspired restaurant opened its doors in our town. CanBlau is the name and its has class, at least if we tend to believe what we have heard. The chef Jimmy Holm is a former chef from ElBullí in Spain – former world’s best restaurant with the iconic chef Ferran Adría behind the wheel. Here at LeHype we are to visit the place on Sunday to check out the goods and bring you the judgement. Just for the fun of it..

A hipster so hip you can’t help but love him…
This morning I found myself dancing around listing to this great song. This type of quirky, lo-fi, indie pop usually stays pretty hidden from the masses. Darwin Deez, a hipster so hip you can’t help but love him…

Jason Clay Lewis “Drill Baby”
Oklahoma-born New York artist Jason Clay Lewis recently published this somewhat disturbing piece of work in connection with oil spill in the Mexican Gulf. The sculpture resembles an infant tattooed with religiously modified references to the incident. The name of the sculpture, “Drill Baby”, is a reference to the republican “Drill, Baby, Drill”-campaign which sparked some level of controversy in the US.

Oh Land: White Nights – the Submarine Sessions
I randomly stumbled across this song by Danish pop-darling Oh Land, and I spent the last couple of hours listening to it on repeat. The song’s a homage to New York, and since I’m a sucker for the Big Apple, I guess it makes sense that I love it… The above clip is an acoustic version, recorded in a submarine by Third Ear. Unfortunately White Nights won’t be available for purchase until October, so for now you would have to swing by her MySpace if you want to check out the studio version – which you should. Pop music at it’s best!

Wine tasting tonight!
Hey guys! Johan and I are hung over proper, and Esben is busy preparing tonights wine tasting. Hangovers and wine tasting might sound like a bad match, but nothing beats a bit of alcohol to recover from a hangover, so we’ll be fine! We’re drinking some expensive Spanish shit, so it’s gonna be a blast I’m sure. We’ll upload pics aplenty in the near future!
In the meantime, you guys could listen to this killer song, written by Leonard Cohen, peformed superbly by Nickel Eye

Roy Liechtenstein posters
Jeg er ikke den store Urban Outfitters-fan. Omend konceptet er ganske genialt – en livsstilsbutik for de unge og hippe – så viser kvaliteten af udvalget sig alt for ofte i sidste end at være middelmådigt. Der er dog selvfølgelig en undtagelse der bekræfter reglen, og det er deres glimrende, og ofte billige udvalg af bøger. Især deres udvalg af design- og kunstbøger er opmuntrende, eksempelvis kan man få denne lækre bog, stokfyldt med plakater fra den amerikanske pop-kunstner, Roy Liechtenstein. Bogen er den første der samler en så stor del af Liechtensteins værker i et bind, og hvor man normalt ville tro, at en bog som denne koster på den gode side af 500 spir, så skal man kun slippe knapt 250 kr. for 151 siders elite-kunst. Ikke dårligt!
______________________________
I’m not unconditionally a big fan of Urban Outfitters, I mean, the concept of a life style store for the young and hip is quite brilliant, but way too often their selection is just… well, let’s say not of my taste! There is of course one exception to this rule, and that’s with their rather great and, quite notably, inexpensive selection of books. The selection of books on design and art is particularly great, for example they have this nice book, filled to the brim with posters by American pop artist, Roy Liechtenstein. The book is the first to gather such a large collection of works by Liechtenstein, and while you would normally suspect books of this kind to ring in at at least £ 50, this one’s available at only £ 25. Not bad at all!

The Bucket of Death!
Johan og jeg har i selskab med den legendariske Michael Høyer opfundet et, hvis jeg selv skal sige det, temmelig genialt koncept: The Bucket of Death (yes, det er et cool navn)! Det er i bund og grund macho-udgaven af en klassisk bowle. Man mix’er hvad man nu vil mix’e i en rengøringsspand, som man med fordel kan fylde med is og lidt pynt i form af lime, mynte eller hvad der nu passer til indholdet. I lørdags lavede vi en simpel blanding af mørk rum, cola, lime-sirup og frisk lime. Og i øvrigt en vigtig detalje: man skal som minimum bruge en hel flaske stærk spiritus, ellers er det ikke cool, og fortjener ikke det magiske Bucket of Death-prædikat. Anyways… BoD-nætter ender altid med at være forrygende cool, og lørdag var ingen undtagelse! Den stod på Klub Stuka X Tartelet Records-fest, og som altid når Stuka er involveret, var det et hit! Sjov og løjer i lange baner!
______________________________
Okay, so Johan and I co-invented this über-cool concept: The Bucket of Death! Pretty fuckin’ killer name, huh?!?! Basically, it’s the macho version of the punch bowl. You mix any drink in a giant cleaning bucket, preferably filled with ice, and maybe limes, mint leaves, or whatever applies to the drink you’re mixing. On saturday we opted for a pretty simple mix of dark rum, coke, lime cordial, and fresh limes. And by the way, there has to be at least one full bottle of booze in it, or else it’s not cool, and it certainly want qualify to be a Bucket of Death! Anyways… BoD-nights (a hip abbreviation of Bucket of Death, in case you didn’t notice) are always fun, and Saturday was no exception! We went to a Klub Stuka X Tartelet Records party, which was – as always when Klub Stuka’s involved – a major hit. Very much fun indeed!
There it is in all it’s glory: The Bucket of Death!
Johan’s cool neck piece – he got it in Israel, of course!
Stylish bruvas, Morten & Johan. Johan (to the right) in a jacket from Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, a vintage necklace and a tee from Acne. The ring is from MTWTFSS.
Nice little lace-detail from Morten Kryger.
I was sporting my Dries van Noten jungle print tee, vintage Nehru-style blazer, Diesel chinos, and of course my two best friends: Docs and my Antonioli man bag

Foodsnob: The number 1 in restaurant blogging
Verdens måske bedste restaurantblog. Den hedder Foodsnob og er et must for alle der er interesserede i mad. Der findes efterhånden mange udemærkede blogs om hvordan man laver mad. Det er der jo ikke noget galt i. Men man har længe savnet blogs, der kunne manifestere de midler det nu en gang kræver at spise på verdens store restauranter uge efter uge. Sådan en blog er Foodsnob, og hurra for det.
Jeg har fulgt bloggen siden den startede og jeg må indrømme, at det her nok er så godt som det kan gøres. The Foodsnob er Englænder og såkaldt Foodie. Dem er der efterhånden for mange af. Men foodsnob er dog en ok en af slagsen. Han bruger alle sine penge på mad. Han bor endda hjemme hos sine forældre. Ikke at han ikke har penge, for det har han. Han arbejder i financial district i London og tjener ganske godt. Men bare ikke helt nok til at have hus og spise på l´Aperge hver måned.
Man kan ikke gøre andet end at tage hatten af for dybden i hans besøg. Specielt i Paris og London er der ikke mange steder der går hans næse forbi. Han beskrivelser er lange, præcise og velskrevne. Der er ekstremt mange oplysninger om hvert enkelt sted, både kokkene, maden og historien.
Hvis man ikke er interesseret i udenlandske michelinrestauranter, burde det kunne berolige, at foodsnob er en stor fan af de københavnske michelinrestauranter. Det er der jo også kun grund til at være og der er da også rig mulighed for at læse om dem i de forskellige dagblade. Jeg vil dog vove pelsen og påstå, at man ikke andre steder end her, finder så grundige beskrivelser af de forskellige steder. Som et eksempel, vil jeg anbefale jer, at læse beskrivelsen af specielt Noma og MR. Man kan læse hans anmeldelse af Noma her. Der er billeder af alle retter akkompagneret af lange beskrivelser. Årets forret, Brændt Mark fra MR, fra sidste år bliver beskrevet så grundigt, at man kan forstå tanken bag retten. Noget man sjældent kan på baggrund af en dansk anmeldelse. Der er dedikationen til forskel. Om ikke andet skal man kigge det igennem for billederne.

________________________________________________
The Foodsnob is, in my book, the best restaurantblogger in the whole world. I love this guy. A benchmark when it comes to details an knowledge on the subject.
The Foodsnob is a foodie. We see a lot of them these days. Only a few of them are serious and even fewer of them share their experiences with the rest of us. It is only our luck that The Foodsnob has chosen to share his experiences with us. He mainly visits Michelin restaurants from Paris and London, but there is also many post from Denmark, Germany and USA. He is especially in to the Parisian restaurant l´Aperge which he visits every month as far as I know.
The articles posted by the foodsnob are the most elaborate and precise descriptions I have ever seen, when it comes to restaurants. As an additions he takes pictures of every course served and that is a bonus worth mentioning. These pictures gives us everything we need when reading the revues in the papers. As an example I would urge you to read the post on Danish superrestaurant NOMA.
To afford this, he lives at his parents and spend every penny he has on restaurant visits. This fact gives him an extra point in my book. This is pure dedication. I can only say this much. If you have any interest in the world of food, this is a must read.

Busy busy busy!!
Johan og jeg er to bloggere på farten! I går stod den på Jean//phillip, Wood Wood, Bruuns Bazaar og David Andersen, efterfulgt af en 12-hestes bytur med den legendariske Michael Høyer. Ondt i hovedet og masser af skrivestof til bloggen er et mismatch, så vi venter lige lidt endnu med at kaste reviews og billeder afsted, men vi kan afsløre at niveauet på andendagen (ganske som forventet) generelt var noget højere end i onsdags. Især Jean//phillip og David Andersen (igen, ganske som forventet) begejstrede os. I dag hedder den Minimarket, om end det er mindre interessant for os, og Henrik Vibskov. Og til at runde aftenen af, er der et par fashionable fester… Gaaaaaaaaab!
_______________________________
Johan and I are bloggers on the run! Yesterday treated us with Jean//phillip, Wood Wood, Bruuns Bazaar and David Andersen, followed by die hard partying with the legendary Michael Høyer. Headaches and blogging material aplenty’s a bad match, so we will wait a short bit before we publish reviews, photos, and all that jazz. But we will tell you that (not surprisingly) the level of quality went up a notch compared to wednesday – particularly Jean//phillip and David Andersen excited us (again, no big surprise). Today it’s Minimarket and Henrik Vibskov, followed by a few fashionable fiestas… YAWN!

Soundtrack for the Weekend
Weekends soundtrack giver sig selv, i virkeligheden. Johan er netop hjemvendt fra landet der flyder med mælk og honning, og det fejrer vi med en herrefrokost i morgen, akkompagneret af jøde-helten Matisyahus Youth-album, og primært med kosher-hittet Jerusalem på repeat!
______________________________
This weekend’s soundtrack is a no-brainer really. Johan’s just returned from the land that flows with milk and honey, and to celebrate the return of the king, we will throw a macho dinner party (is there such a thing, really??), accompanied by mega star – by Jewish terms, at least – Matisyahu’s Youth-album, and primarilly with the smash hit Jerusalem on repeat.
Youth is available via HMV at £ 5.17
“Jerusalem, if I forget you, let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do!”
