“Thanks so much for downloading our first EP, ‘frankencottage’. We hope you liked it. A link to our second EP, ‘Music Box’ should be landing in your inbox within the next couple of weeks, a short time before its official release.” — Dark Mean’s email list.
I’m drooling already. And if the lovely artwork - and pre-release title track I found - is anything to go by, this will be as great as the previous EP.

A pretty incredible, and beautifully both articulated and presented, concept video from a research project initiated by Swedish publisher Bonnier, “which aims to capture the essence of magazine reading, which people have been enjoying for decades”. I think they have done a great job, and it will be fascinating to see what parallels there are from next week’s announcements from Cupertino if indeed, there are any.

First-Person Tetris
A pretty impressive take on Tetris, although the title is misleading. Don’t forget to arm yourself with motion-sickness pills.

The Take-Away Shows
A growing collection of low-key performances from a great collection of artists, kind of similar in format to the Black Cab Sessions, which I also recommend.

Inklet
Neat application which, combined with a Pogo Sketch pen, turns a Macbook trackpad into a tablet.

Whenever a link on your website opens in a new window a panda cries

TNEF's Enough
Josh Jacob’s little app which will extract files from those ridiculous winmail.dat attachments Microsoft Outlook/Exchange insists on mangling files into.

This is the age of the empowered, cynical, skeptical, hype-resistant customer. It’s a great time to be a customer and it’s a great time to be a customer-centric organization.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an image of a completely frozen Britain before, so this satellite photo taken today is especially impressive. The image was featured in the catchily titled MODIS Rapid Response System gallery. (Thanks to @will_j for the link.)

A sculpture of Rome’s Colosseum is just one of the exhibits at this year’s International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival at Harbin in China. The Big Picture has many more great photos of some of these epic ice structures.

My Favourite Albums Of 2009
I collected tracks from my favourite 10(-ish) albums from last year over the last few days here. I hope there’s something new for you. As always, I fully expect to find a ton of albums I didn’t know about in time — suggestions welcome.

The Cave Singers — Summer Light
At just 35 minutes, Welcome Joy is short, but oh-so-sweet, and opener Summer Light is the perfect first course. If you’re not sold on the simply picked melody, gorgeous layered vocals or building drums, it’s time to book that hearing test. A very welcome joy indeed.
