BIG HEARTED BUSINESS

The Ends Of The Library

Thursday, March 28, 2013

Borges claims that the library is endless, infinite, but it’s gonna end next month, in NYC, and you can join the party at Goethe Institut. (Oh, and while you’re already there, pick up a phone for some free time travel).

WHAT ALI WORE

Thursday, March 28, 2013

This is, of course, what Berlin dreams are made of: Australian photographer Zoe Pawton, based in Berlin and also working in a café in hipster district Neukölln, presumably to make ends meet, noticed Ali passing by every morning, looking impeccably stylish at 83 (and being a father of 18 kids), got friendly with him, asked [...]

FOOD OF/FROM THE EAST

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

The Carton is a quarterly magazine about food culture in/and the Middle East. Beirut based The Carton’s latest issue contains beautiful illustrations by Wissam Eid. Keep wondering about the interview of  The Wanton Bishops with raw meat on the table.

STYLE ICON

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

It might be a bit of an understatement to say that our current cover star Kim Gordon is somewhat of a style icon – which is a role that she also isn’t 100% comfortable with, it seems. As she says in our interview: ‘I look at old pictures sometimes and it’s just like, ‘Oh, God, [...]

Berleenhorn Gifs

Monday, March 25, 2013

Don’t get this the wrong way. We do love you all. But this shit is still too funny. We’ve all been there, so it’s laughing about our rookie selves in style, mainly. Reminiscent Gifs appear to be an appropriate way of taking on the everlasting theme of this blog: the Berlin greenhorn. Probably more charming and [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: HOW TO DRESS WELL

Monday, March 25, 2013

I don’t know about you, but soul music usually tends to give me stomach cramps – so I’m not sure exactly why I would find How to Dress Well so awfully endearing… Anyway, apparently he really kills it on stage, so lucky us that he’s coming to Europe on tour soon.

RUST AND BONE

Sunday, March 24, 2013

If you haven’t yet, high time to catch up on French director Jacques Audiard’s latest offering, Rust and Bone, with Marion Cotillard at her most stunning yet – and we just added another name to our personal interview wish list.

THERE’S MONEY IN THE BANANA STAND!

Saturday, March 23, 2013

I can’t wait to hear that line again – if you haven’t watched Arrested Development from 2003 – 2006, now’s the time to catch up. After the show’s been cancelled for 7 years, new episodes are planned to be released in May by Netflix. Be warned: the first couple of episodes are tough, but they’re [...]

SITUATIONAL COMICS

Friday, March 22, 2013

When Judd Apatow asked Chris Rock (in Vanity Fair, January 2013, guest-edited by Judd Apatow) if comedians of today are better than they used to be a couple of decades ago, he answered “… Hell fuckin’ no. … There are a lot of good comics out there, no doubt, but as far as the quality [...]
