I loved Merriweather Post Pavilion, and this new track definitely continues in the same vein of sonic lushness, Animal Collective are on a roll that I hope doesn’t end soon.
Beautiful beautiful music from one of my favourite bands, Grizzly Bear. If you don’t have their album Veckatimest by now, go go go to the shops NOW!
The best ramen I have ever eaten - in Higuma Ramen restaurant in the old Ramen Alley (Ramen Yokocho) in Sapporo. My ramen was deliciously spicy, the gyoza were steamed (as opposed to fried to within an inch of their crispy lives) and the owner was amicable and very genki. I’m going back to Sapporo in a few weeks for a conference and this will be my first port of call for tasty noms.
