Right this turntable by Lenco had it’s debut today at the IFA today in Berlin. What  is interesting about this you ask? Well it records straight to a USB memory stick or a SD card. Considering these days one can play a set with just a laptop FAB is all I can say.

As I am a snob I do not usually look to Ikea for house articles, however this one slipped under my radar. Perfect if your space is small. Starts out as a table for your nick knacks, and ends up as a place for your laptop.

Whiskey.



Scotch Whisky maker Highland Park have released a rare edition 1964 Orcadian Vintage Series whisky.


The reason I have this here is because of the description which I had to share.


The expression of the Vintage Series 1964 is closely associated with the other whisky’s from Highland Park, however it is combined with a fascinating spiciness, crushed black pepper, crème brulée and a toasted vanilla pod has been added to the complexity.


Finally, the rare whisky consists of water to reintroduce the smell encountered on the nose accompanied by distinctive hints of smoked cheddar, vanilla sponge and paprika.


I am still wondering if I missed the piece of meat.


Price : 4,589.06 EUR

New city bikes from the Danish bicycle company Biomega. This one designed by London designer Ross Lovegrove.

Whats interesting , and I don’t have a clue about bikes is that there is an absence of the traditional chain, in it’s place, is a carbon belt.

 

 

 

That hole is designed so as to hang the bike up in tight urban spaces.
