Fish in a Meat District
Waiting for a place like Fiskebaren in Berlin.
Good product, sense of aesthetics and loving what you do = success.

It’s Claudja with a “j”.
Here’s an ode to dj’s for being the ones who remind us of music we forgot existed or introducing us to new tunes, that make a dull January sky seem a bit brighter.
Thank you Christian d’Or for the reminder.
Thank you Dixon for the introduction.

What’s in your fridge?
If Christmas wasn’t so far away I would have wished for “Where they create” by photographer Paul Barbera.
Photos and descriptions of the spaces where creative minds create. Interviews included. Not only how their daily environment influences their output, but also what’s on their desk and even what’s in their fridge.
So here’s to a Januray present for myself.







“The learned is happy, nature to explore; The fool is happy, that he knows no more”
*Alexander Pope.
I love to be reminded how many remarkable places there are in the world – so much more out there, yet to explore.
I just came about Where Is This over at Spejlvendt. A lot of the sites have been located by knowledgable readers, others you might know the location of?


Here is an amazing 360° degrees version.




Berlin inside
Saw this mini poster on a light pole a couple of weeks ago.
Timed with the upcoming Berlin Fashion Week Liganova (in cooperation with Berlin magazine “TRAFFIC – News to-go”) launched the latest edition of the seasonal Berlin Inspires guide.
“Local heroes” from the fields of fashion, design, art, media and culture share their insider tips on where to go and what to see.
€6,95. Get it here (and as App from 16.01.)

“If you are going to walk on thin ice, you might as well dance”
With the weekend around the corner I wanted to share this “I just can’t help but dance”-set by Richy Ahmed (and a naked Pamela).
Happy Weekend!

Slow down and breathe
Most of the music I post belongs to the energy kicker category but here’s one for the contemplative state of mind.
That makes you feel like a minute contains more than 60 seconds.
Obviously (as a new wave fan) Tuxedomoon’s In a Manner of Speaking is a given power ballad on my meditative soundtrack.
For a slightly more sensual feeling go for this cover by Nouvelle Vague.






Temples of Love
These highly inspiring temples are located in Madhya Pradesh, India approximately 650 km from New Delhi. A UNESCO world heritage site and apparently of the most visited Indian tourist attractions. Wonder why?
Originally there were 85 temples but only 20 remain well preserved 1000 years after the “erection” which begun in the mid-9th century and went on for 250 years. I wonder if the workers had a hard time focusing?
Khajuraho: One-on-one, orgies, up-side down, animals – all fantasies and/or experiences are openly portraied. Wunderbar!






Danish femme in Berlin.
No, not talking about me. Agnes Obel.
Obviously a good combination. Denmark and Berlin.
“That’s what’s fascinating – the girls.”
Time to feature photographer and friend Autumn Sonnichsen. A wonderful person doing brilliant work – and with amazing cooking skills and a dynamite laugh. What more can you ask for?
Much more nudity here (also an “about” video with Autumn but everybody knows that sex sells, so…)

“Never trust spiritual leader who cannot dance.”
The soundtrack of a home
What does yours sound like?
Comprising my mother’s voice and the sounds of her garden, this video is my first Pogo mix of the real world.
