You’ll never wear that again! This fantastic Facebook App drags up old photos of clothes you’ve long forgotten about. Seriously, it’s time for a closet purge. And what better reason to clear out those old clothes than for charity? This clever App by Stockholm Stadsmission not only points out garments you’ve long forsaken, it also informs you about how to donate them to charity for the homeless.

In Stockholm, Sweden, metro stations are decorated like big, underground art museums. The colorful painted ceilings are a stark contrast from American subways, which aren’t exactly the most pleasant places to be. Within the Stockholm subway systems, you can find large art installations and painted murals all throughout the cave-like tunnels. Now you have a reason to want to take the subway.

For young or ever youthful visitors to Stockholm, Sweden, in the warm months, outdoor club Trädgarden is not to miss. More like the expected scene of edgy Berlin than clean, pastel Stockholm, Trädgarden is an outdoor space under the bridge of a southbound metro line. The grimy location is craftily covered by colorful lights, three bars, wooden bleachers for people-watching, large blocks for sitting or dancing on, and even old video games like Space Invaders, which guests can play projected onto one of the bridge’s pillars. People show up every open night, but a Saturday around 1am is a spectacle.

Imagine a library full of books that have never been read, have never been cared about, and have never been borrowed. Stockholm-based artist Meriç Algün Ringborg has created just that; opening the Library of Unborrowed Books for three weeks. The 600 books were collected from Stockholms Stadbiblioteket (Library) and displayed to try and question why they haven’t been chosen. The books exist, but does anyone care? On a slightly awkward note, the books must have been borrowed for the exhibition.

I’m addicted to TV series’s like Underbelly and Sons of Anarchy, so I had to see this movie about the Stockholm underworld. Jens Lapidus’ first book of his Stockholm Noir Trilogy, Snabba Cash, was made into a Swedish film. But with its success will come a Hollywood version, Easy Money – if you can’t read subtitles. Daniel Espinosa directed it, which led to him getting the Safe House job. Zac Efron is lined up to take the Hollywood lead.

A street art collector I know recently introduced the work of Stockholm-based artist Ikaroz to me. I really dig his illustrated characters, but he is equally well known for his well-made tags.

Bored of the too-easy point/click way we find new music, I decided to make my own songs harder and more interesting to get hold of. I spent a year hiding CDs with my music on in cities around the world (with a little help from friends). I filmed the whole thing, including the responses I got, and edited it to a song from my new EP, Realityicide.

Last year, around this time, I had just returned home from being stuck overseas in Sweden due to the volcano eruption in Iceland. I missed gigs and events back in the States, but not all was lost. In Stockholm, I found the work of artist and engineer Tomas Saraceno.

With more than five scientific patents, Tomas’ artistic vision aims directly for the future, and the future is in the sky. He’s designed these amazing, home-made balloons that, layered with sky plants and facilities, aim to create an autonomous, floating nation. Definitely worth a look.

Yum, yum, yum! These are some of the entries received for the Swedish Museum of Architecture’s yearly gingerbread house competition, which is based around the theme this year of ‘monster’. This sweet collection of architectural wonder is on display at the PUB department store in Stockholm.

Will you be visiting Stockholm in the near future? If so, be amongst the first to pick up a pair of Noko Jeans, manufactured in the anti-social country, North Korea, and marketed in Sweden. 1100 pairs of these novelty jeans were made for girls and boys to wear around the world — except, of course, in North Korea, where the State dress code strictly forbids them being worn. Oh, it’s a crazy world we live in.

Chemically inconvenienced, distinguished, at peace with the floor, every single ‘-faced’ prefix, all phrases amongst the 2,964 synonyms for being totally wasted. DRUNK, The Definitive Drinker’s Dictionary by Paul Dickson, has been illustrated by former New York Times Art Director, recent GOOD Magazine Guest Art Director and current temporary Stockholm resident, Brian Rea. His hilarious and whimsical pieces are hanging right now in Brooklyn’s own Melville House. Stop in for a look, check the book and exit immediately to the nearest glass of whiskey. Being drunk never has been so explicable.

Smak på Restaurangen is an ultra hip Stockholm restaurant where flavor reins king. At the heart of this stylish Scandinavian space is a modern culinary concept where gastronomic exploration is encouraged, if not mandated. Based on specific flavors alone, diners select tastings of 3, 5, or 7 small dishes. Fancy wasabi or truffle, tamarind or mint? At Smak på Restaurangen any or all can form the foundation of your meal. Drinks too follow the same concept with offerings revolving around sage, blood orange, and watermelon, for instance. The concept and atmosphere behind Smak på Restaurangen is what makes it one of the most talked about restaurants in Stockholm. Admittedly, the ever-changing list of well-known DJs guest spinning at the bar doesn’t hurt either.
