“I’ve never played for lines before,” joked Bjorn Yttling, one third of Swedish popsters Peter Bjorn and John. The scene was last night’s Zune Originals party at Skylight Studios, where queues snaked around both Yttling’s DJ booth and the live painting in progress by Japanese graffiti artist Nobumasa Takahashi (who was clad in a vintage Yamaha jumpsuit for the occasion). The cause for all the queuing was the chance to customize one of the 500 Zunes (Microsoft’s answer to the iPod) that were being handed out. The assembled scenesters, who included Jeremy Kost, Phillipe Blond, designer Kai Kühne, Leigh Lezark, Sepp’s Markus Ebner, and Tommie Sunshine, could choose from one of 27 original graphics created by 18 artists, including Catalina Estrada, Laurent Fetis, Kenzo Minami, and the London-based Finn Klaus Haapaniemi, whose contribution was a fairy/pirate hybrid. His take on the party? “I could move here.”
