I drank a rhubarb schorle with a Danish musician yesterday who had just met with some of the guys from Danish band Efterklang. Apperantly they live just around the corner from me.

We all went to high school together but are not in touch today. Appears, I might bump into Casper or Rasmus the next time I walk down Kastanien Allee or go grocery shopping in Rewe.

- on our bikes. We Danish people ride bikes.

Beautiful song + beautiful (and very “this is Denmark”) music video by multi-artist Kristian Leth

Tomorrow, Hercules & Love Affair at Lido. Doors open at 20:00. See you there!

Prince. July 5th. At Waldbühne. Sigh

At least when it comes to grocery shopping. How come only three supermarkets are open? Friedrichtstraße Station, Ostbahnhof, Central Station. I don’t understand.

Well, here I go. Off to Friedrichstraße, listening to Caribou. If you haven’t listened to his new album Swim yet, do it!

Fellow Berlin resident Phonique recently released a new album and I LOVE this track: Our Time Our Chance (feat. Ian Whitelaw).

Go Micha! – who is touring in Sao Paolo/Brazil these days. In case I have any readers there, he’s playing in Goiania at Fiction tonight.
This video was also shot in Sao Paulo – in Lions Club.

And the album is called “Kissing Strangers”. Hence the post title. Ta-daa!

If I wasn’t such an anti-large-concerts person I would so go to the KISS concert on May 26 at O2. I can’t imagine what their show will be like. I honestly thought they had retired.

If this is how they looked in 1997 how old are they by now? Can they still walk plateaus? Check out 7.15. Go Paul Stanley!

and how bizarre ist this cover of Rick Ashley’s Never Gonna Give You Up. Scary, really.

So let’s stick with the good old stuff….
