Sprechen Sie Deutche Baby?



North American Halloween Prevention Initiative.

In aid of Unicef, this project is going down with the help of -amongst others- Beck, Devendra Banhart, Jimmy Tamborello, Karen O, Feist, Buck 65 (above, albeit blurry), (Win & Regine from)Arcade Fire, Thurston Moore and Malcolm McLaren. THEY ARE MAKING A HALLOWEEN VERSION OF "DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS", YO.

You can listen to it here!

Berlin is a really good place to be next month, what with Wilco and Stars stopping by.

September 10th, Wilco @ Postbanhof
September 14th, Stars @ Maria

Buying fun beads with Le Tigre in the background is always a good time. Hooray for Tukadu bead shop in Hackesher Markt. Afterwards we stumbled into an alleyway with wooden tables taking up the space between the two graffiti-ed walls. This might be Cafe Bravo. Hot chocolate in a bowl with lots of sweet cream, outside on a bench or inside where it's dark, the furniture is antique (see 1 ornate couch and 1 white piano) and the walls are papered with magazine covers.

Wir Sind Helden. They are German. They make nice songs. Like "Gibt Mir Ein 'O'. They have a band-member called Jean-Paul Tourette. In another language their name means, "We are heroes". Hooray!
