Here at Kanon we’ve enjoyed our fair share of amazing Midsummer parties. And while we’re more than happy to sit back and enjoy ourselves at this annual solstice soiree, we really wanted to freshly experience Midsummer through the eyes of a few of our favorite FOKs. Yes, we’ve raised the maypole a few times in our lives, but we wanted to share the day with some Midsummer virgins.
One of our favorite virgins (Midsummer that is) is Beau Derrick aka Pinky of TV Carnage. Thankfully for us, he took time out from directing music videos for the likes of Crystal Castles and making Adult Swim specials (garnering praise from the likes of Johnny Knoxville and Michael Cera. Oh and The New York Times) to head out to Sweden and experience first-hand the madness that is Midsummer. Also lucky for us, Pinky brought his camera along and lent his unique voice and talents to documenting all that went down. One more lucky for us- his first short focuses on the all important question, “Just why are Swedish girls so ugly?” Many examples of this geographic anomaly are given. Thank you, Pinky. We think further research into this is a must.
