I never got around to tell you about my visit to Copenhagen last month. Here are some bullet points.
- It's hella expensive
- It's impeccably orderly
- The most bike friendly city in the world because it's flat and government has made every street bike friendly. Also, the bikers are considerate and the pedestrians are as well of the bikers.
- They are coffee crazy. Visit the Coffee Collective and you'll understand
- You can walk to anyplace in the city -- takes an hour to walk from one end to the other
- The interior design will blow your mind
- Tivoli, yeah, a tourist hub, but beautiful at night
- Smørrebrød, tasty tasty goodness
- They love their beer, and I love them for it
- Not as baby/stroller crazy as Sweden, but still a little nutty
- Danish women, yup.
This brings me to the city's exciting export, Indians. I also had the coversation with music bix peops about all the acts with hard to google names. In this Indians is the one man band Søren Løkke Juul. 4AD has snatched up the artist, who release his debut album next January. His first offering is the neo-folky strummer called "Cakelakers". Once I find out what a cakelaker is, I'll let you know.
In the meantime, he's making his first extensive U.S./Canada run now, opening up for Other Lives.
