I've probably heard this song somewhere before, but this time it just stuck like glue. I can't even remember where I picked it up from. It don't matter, it's simply fantastic! The whole sequence starting at 1:30 to 2:15 is just epic. 'This Must Be The Place', Talking Heads.

mp3'Thats Not Litter, Thats Groundvertising'
A sort of new phenomenon regarding advertising; concert posters and general announcements plastered on sidewalks and other various ground levels. A really nice touch I must say, especially in a town like Stockholm where people tend to spend 8 months out of the year scurrying the city streets in gloomy weather obsessively staring at their feet.
Even Stockholm's public transport system have picked up on the trend. Here's advertising for a new metro card being introduced in the coming months.

stockholm'Desire Path'
I've been intrigued by shortcuts like the one above for some time, and I finally found a few words to explain my curiosity. The thing is that paved roads and sidewalks have been designed from an authoritarian perspective telling people where they
should walk whereas shortcuts are created where people actually
do walk, organically and free forming. When people stop using these paths vegetation grows back and nature takes over once again. You could probably turn this small observation into a quasi-philosophical outburst regarding urban planning, societies as a whole, fixed rules, organic vs mechanical flows.., but I won't. It's Sunday morning and I haven't even had coffee yet. Anyhow, funny enough after doing some netsearch it turns out that these shortcuts actually have an official name;
'desire paths/lines' or 'social lines'. There's even a whole
Flickr group on the subject. True nerds can also watch this
videoclip.

An obvious desire path that by the use of material have turned into a paved shortcut. (Observe how the grass by the signpole have grown through the holes of the layered bricks).
Wikipedia tells a great story on how landscape planners in Finland are known to visit parks immediately after the first snowfall, when the existing paths are not visible. Footprints in the snow indicate where people naturally choose to walk, which can then be used to guide the routing of new paths.
