Yes, London has crap service and none of the convenience New York has, however it really is a more global city and has some gentle civilities that are usually lost on residents. Forgive me, but the difference between my minicab driver's courtesy on the way to Heathrow yesterday and the asshole cabbie who picked me up at JFK and then yelled at me for giving him a non-cash tip has left me feeling fragile.

But don't deny your true feelings. All the Jay Z YouTubes in the world can't change the forces of nature.

Yeah -- every fucking corner in NY looks like every other fucking corner. I can ID my location in London within two seconds, but New York remains a mess of 90 degree angles to me.
Booooooring!

I can take massive overhype, as long as the product can actually deliver. His singing sucked. Does he have anything else to offer?

Not a WEEK, not a fricking WEEK passes without some by-numbers article in the NYT or elsewhere stating that Berlin is hip. These articles are usually written by people who don't even speak German and wouldn't know what the actually scene here is like if it bit them on the arsch. Often the jist of these articles is: "Berlin! It's just like New York with cheap rents! There are artists here! And internet startups!" as though that weren't the case in every bloody major city in the Western world.
I love this city, but it's ludicrous to say it's outstripping New York.

Still, I give him an A for effort, if not execution.

As with most things, Bowie did it better.

Honestly though? This guy has Vegas act written all over him (not necessarily a bad thing).
