Creepiest ever.

I ♥ the New Cut Copy

"Need You Now" is my favorite of the day. So '80s, so dreamy. And that artwork? Sheer amazing.

Bahama Mammas

Jenny C and I are just back from a few days at the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort, where we tore it up, laughed, danced (and injured my back on a beach lounge chair... long story...)

We made use of the Bahamas' free companion airfare offer, making this the second MLK holiday in a row that I've escaped to the Miami-Bahamas area for the long weekend.

I wonder where I'll be next year......

New Destroyer Video: "Kaputt"

I'm looking forward to the forthcoming Destroyer album "Kaputt," which will be available January 25. And now, thanks to this spectacular new title track video (via Pitchfork), there's obviously a lot more to be excited about. Flying whales, mid-90s pimple perv teen, and mystical dance sequence? Check, check and check.

Best. Concert. Ever.

Berlin

I just got back from visiting my lovely friend Ashley and some of her awesome crew in Berlin. What a terrific week, and a fabulous way to spend Thanksgiving -- in a big German apartment in Neukölln, filled with about 40 people from all around the world (and plenty of Brooklyn expats!). Other highlights of the journey included a 24-hour stint in Prague, "blind dining" at unsicht-Bar, wandering through the beautiful Christmas markets, and meeting my all-time favorite animal celeb, Knut the polar bear (he is addicted to fame and will swim up to you if you call his name or wave to him!!! Ahhh!!).

It was quite an inspirational trip and couldn't have come at a better time in my life. I enjoyed Germany quite a bit, and hope to return soon -- and ideally in the summer, next time.
