I Didn't Even Know It Was In My iPod
You know those songs that come up once a year on random play? This was one of them. Frente's cover of "Bizarre Love Triangle". I've always loved this take - maybe even more than the original?

Probably one of the coolest and most unique museums I've been to. Check it: http://matadornights.com/ramonesmuseum/
Berlin has way too much good food! I spent a day eating as much as I could. There are some cool pictures here and a rundown of what's good. You'd be surprised at the diversity of food here. Sure, there's big sausage things. But good pizza and thai food too? Hell yes.
I never know how to deal with these surveys/lists. I mean, Vietnam is the #5 happiest place on the planet? Would that be before you eat the chicken that's been laying in the sun for 4 days, after you've seen the dead motorbiker (everywhere) or after you've run out of breath in Saigon (which happens a lot, with that pollution thing).
The following does a good job of deconstructing the Happiest list:
I caught Noah and the Whale this week in Berlin. It was about my eighth time seeing them. They looked tired and beaten...they played like it too. It's hard to watch a band play like this, like the road is catching up with them. The venue was too big for where they're at - they'd have done well to play a packed-out smaller room and fed off the energy. I saw them at Reading and Leeds this month - they killed it. Hopefully they'll pull it together.
I love the new album. Here's a track that gets stuck in my head all day long.
