Check out this short documentary of my flatmate + music partner’s recent trip to Gernika. John did say it was all eating and drinking. Well, this movie definately proves it.

Just a tip: Watch till at least 5:00 minutes.

Sweet mix for waking up by a 22-year old Danish Dj who goes under the alias Nam Nam.

In case you need directions: Volume on max and keep legs (preferably whole body) moving while making coffee, checking mails, reading the paper or whatever you do when you wake up.

Marlene Dietrich in Josef von Sternbergs ’Der Blaue Engel’

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

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!
