    It’s been quite the ride but today brings us the last of FOK Pinky’s video installments from Sweden. For his curtain call, Pinky doesn’t even need to say a word. It’s Midsummer Eve and, as you can see, music, dancing, cocktails, and more have taken over.

    Like Pinky himself, it’s an understated and sublime glimpse at the greatest of Swedish holidays. We get the feeling sometime in December, when snow is thick on the ground and the sun makes only brief appearances, we’ll turn this on and remember the sweet taste of summer.

  • Midsummer Moments with Street Carnage

     

    This week, Pinky is back with some hard-hitting journalism for Kanon straight from Sweden's Midsummer parties. And what says party more than a Metal band. And who loves metal more than aristocrats. Well, maybe they aren't really synonymous but it's just the kind of craziness Pinky was enlisted to discover after months of darkness.

    Unsurprisingly, he captured some of the most organic beauties in the world falling under the spell of our favorite organic vodka in the world. The view looks great, and our good friend is pretty much speechless, as are we.

  • Midsummer Adventures: Swedish Girls by Street Carnage

    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.
