Rolling Stone reported last week that Baltimore has the best scene. Now, Blender is chiming in, too, with its take on Bmore. Master of performance media Dan Deacon, hip-hop mastermind Blaqstarr and Geologist, from Animal Collective, offered their picks for touring the city:

• Paradox, 1310 Russell St., for best late-night dance party
• The True Vine, 1123 W. 36th St., for best store to patronize when you want to actually pay for CDs
• Floristree, 405 W. Franklin St., for best venue to see white kids spazz out
• Faidley Seafood in Lexington Market for best crab cake
• Baltimorecrime.blogspot.com for best resource to plan your trip

The best tip comes from Blaqstarr, on Faidley’s: “Ask for the house cocktail sauce. I keep it on the side to dip and kill it from there.” Duly noted.
