We launched Frekvens.dk today, which is the non-profit project I've mentioned I've been working on for a while. Frekvens (which means frequency) is a music weblog written in Danish by me and the plan is to add a lot of entries about concerts, albums, and general music news every day. There aren't a lot of good music websites in Danish, so we figured we could use our knowledge of music and weblogs and create something interesting. I've written entries since the first of October, but the design wasn't ready until today (we still need to do a little tweeking, though), so there's a lot of stuff on the weblog already, which we thought was a smart approach. That way people won't just come to an empty weblog, but will be able to get an impression of what we're trying to do. So if you're interested in music and can read Danish (or if you're just curious in general) you should check it out.

One of the news items on Frekvens is obviously the news of Elliott Smith's all to early death. I have his last three CDs and I think he was a brilliant songwriter with an extraordinary voice. It really made me quite sad to hear that he wasn't going to be around to make records any more. There'll probably come a posthumous release of the album he was working on, but it would have been nice if he could have been one of those guys, who kept on making records until he was 70.

In more uplifting news I finally got around to watching X-Men 2 the other day and I thought it was absolutely brilliant. The story was cool and there were a lot of things that surprised me during the movie. All the morphing stuff Mystique did was cool and storyline involving the Cerebro machine was cool as well. This is one of the few times where I think the third movie is actually a good idea.
