Dinner with the Band: Steak Burgers and Frites... →
Addendum to my Dinner with the Band post:
So… thanks to Eric I’ve basically spent a lot of today watching Dinner with the Band, drooling over Sam Mason and the food… which made me want to cook. Except I don’t cook. So I just ordered a burger, fries, and an iced cappuccino from Veselka (particularly after watching this episode).
This is like yesterday, when Ben (from...

Dinner With The Band to Air on IFC →
Three things I love:
Sam Mason
Bands
Watching Sam Mason cooking with bands
There you go.
But in all seriousness… 3 years ago a chef friend of mine took me to this chef convention/afterparty as a “networking tool”. He basically knew I would go up to awesome chefs and just start talking to them, not knowing who they were… and then have to introduce him. Sam Mason...
On my newfound obsession with Scott Pilgrim
Me: OMG I'm OBSESSED with Scott Pilgrim
Ronen: I FUCKING TOLD YOU... Now thank me for taking you to his party & go buy book 1.
Me: I want to re-meet him. And I'm buying them ALL. Ramona is badass with the evil bf's and the shorts and the tights. I want Scott Pilgrim to be my boyfriend!
Ronen: duh, he's awesome. You have excellent taste. Now what did we learn from this?
Me: That I should follow you around in case you leave awesome books behind?
Ronen: That you should always listen to me and do what I say because I'm always right. Even if it takes you a few months & me accidentally losing a book for you to realize it. :)

legospaceship:
Swedish band Blackstrap (a recent and very agreeable new find yielded by the sixytone) documented their recent US tour on Tumblr. This strikes me as a truly fantastic application of Tumblr’s strength’s. Blackstrap posted text updates , video’s, and pictures from their various stops across the United States. What better way to keep your fan’s update on your tour status? Or...
The Talking Heads on musical steriods... →
efstein:
two drummers, two bassists, and Belew on guitar. I’d like to think that if I was borne 20 years earlier I’d have been on tour with these guys in the early 80s. Just a crazy onstage performance.
Two drummers, two bassists… (FDAO?) that is all. :)
get it? Hurt... like the SONG
Me: I have Nine Inch Nails stuck in my head now.
Jacob: That sounds painful.
Me: ...
ohhhh. ha. nine inch nails... in my head.
that would hurt.
WatchNine Inch Nails- Wish Live with Dillinger Escape Plan
My reaction watching this video: “Oh my god it’s Bill!! Oh my god it’s Bill!!”
I haven’t seen Bill since his days in The Rivalry (In a time a like to call the Cosgrove era, which was basically hangs with Mike Cosgrove and his “boys” The Urgency, The Rivalry, and Kidnapkin). He’s now apparently...
Talk About a Ladies Night
Lady Sovereign Live Performance and Ladytron DJ set, tonight at Tribeca Grand.
Why do I even have to contemplate whether I should go or not??
Oh and Jacob of The Faint is also DJing…
This should be a given. Right?

The Image vs. The Sound
“There’s something to be said when your attitude complements or supplements your music. But when it doesn’t complement or supplement the music…it just… doesn’t make sense. Does that make sense?”- G
We were discussing a recent write-up about a band we know from the scene. Rather than really reviewing the music, it was more about the persona of said...

WatchThe Interpreters, Drew Berry: Biomedical Animator
Um, this guy and the work he does is amazing. Animations in this video include:
The Malaria Life Cycle
Apoptosis

The Malaria Life Cycle is a bit scary with the giant mosquito, but the DNA replication is cool. You can see enzymes working on the strands of DNA- DNA helicases breaking the bonds, DNA polymerase...
“Dance is a stylish, feminine, and sexy sport. It’s something that comes...”
– Stella McCartney (on her Dance line for Adidas)
I always say dancing is my exercise. I say it jokingly these days regarding dance parties, but I’m allowed to say it because I used to be a ballerina.
