Volt by James Glazebrook As far as we’re concerned, the “Christ” in Christmas still stands for something – as in, “Christ, we’ve eaten SO much!” A few days and many kilos ago, we started the season’s eatings in style, with a slap-up meal at Landwehrkanal eatery Volt. Zoë’s family and I enjoyed a modern take […]

Scroll down for Istanbul-born Erkin Gören‘s Turkish lyrics and the English translation, and visit his website for art, music and more.

Katie’s Blue Cat by James Glazebrook When we moved to “Kreuzkölln” (ew) seven months ago I would bemoan the lack of decent coffee this side of the Landwehrkanal; now it seems like every other street has an excellent café. Competition is fierce for the title Best Coffee in Berlin, so let me word this carefully: […]

Defne by James Defne was a favourite of ours even before we moved to Berlin. We discovered it while strolling along the Landwehrkanal one spring, took friends there on subsequent trips, and continue to use it as our go-to for intimate mid-range dining. Defne serves a reasonably priced fusion of Mediterranean and Turkish in the leafy surroundings of […]

February 11, 2013 Music Montag: TUSK (Spandau Ballet and Enya covers) by James Glazebrook TUSK by Heinrich V. Schimmer Bat. Shit. Crazy. (In the best possible way.) The biography on this singer/dancer/producer’s SoundCloud namechecks such fine acts as Grimes, Tears for Fears and Vangelis, but really nails it when it lands on Kate Bush, “from […]

March 19, 2012 Music Montag: Pan-Pot by James Glazebrook The new compilation from Berlin-based DJ/production team Pan-Pot comes complete with an hour-long documentary… HEY, WAKE UP! The film skips over the usual pitfalls of melodrama (Berlin Calling), hysteria (It’s All Gone Pete Tong) and tediousness (everything else about dance music, ever), mainly because its protagonists […]

February 18, 2012 California Breakfast Slam by James Glazebrook We’ve *hearted* California Breakfast Slam since it was based near our old Kiez, before it shut down and then magically popped up a few streets away from our new flat!
