Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins: My Lifelong Breakfast Story

February 22nd, 2012

When my parents and I moved from Russia first to Israel, and then to the United States, our relatives said goodbye to us knowing there was a very real possibility they’d never see us again. At the time, technologies like Skype didn’t exist and Russia had a strict “get out and don’t come back” policy. [...]

Musical Pairings: Blu & Exile – Below The Heavens

February 22nd, 2012

Blu & Exile’s 2007 debut Below The Heaven was unquestionably one of the best underground hip hop albums released in the past decade. But, like a lot of great underground music, it’s taken time to discover it’s audience. Sure, the album brought them a loyal audience nearly immediately upon it’s release, but it took other [...]

Guest Post: Shrimp Etouffée by Amanda Areias of Give Me Flour (Mardi Gras Edition)

February 20th, 2012

I’ve been a huge fan of Amanda’s beautiful site, give me flour, for some time now. Her writing makes me want to travel to her homeland of Brazil, which she reminisces about often. And her photography, well, it speaks for itself. From gorgeous desserts to breads and stews, her photos capture the magic of food, [...]

Served Three Ways: Three Covers of Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”

February 21st, 2012

The memorable three note guitar riff powering the Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” was intended as a throwaway placeholder to be replaced with a blaring horn section. The band ultimately decided to stick with the guitar, and, according to Mick Jagger, it was that track that “changed [The Rolling Stones] from just another [...]

I’ve got lots of great new music for you today. Here We Go Magic teamed up with Radiohead-producer Nigel Godrich and we have a taste. Frankie Rose released another single and you can have a bite of that too. Next we’ll follow that up with some bassy, glitchy palate cleansers courtesy of Bondax and Booddha. [...]

Soup Weather: Lemongrass Shrimp and Miso Udon Soup

February 13th, 2012

There is a well-known state of weather. And it’s not Spring, Fall, Winter or Summer. I call it ‘Soup Weather’ and it can strike at any time, be it on a cold snowy day or a warmish Spring night. You may not call it soup weather, but I believe you’ll know exactly what I’m talking [...]

5 Questions With… Breathe Owl Breathe

February 17th, 2012

I caught up with Micah, Andrea and Trevor from Ann Arbor, Michigan’s Breathe Owl Breathe before their set at San Francisco’s Bottom of the Hill. Their live show is upbeat and whimsical. In fact, I’d venture as far as to say I’d never seen a band appear to have so much fun on stage (The [...]

Frozen Banana-Chocolate and Peanut Butter Loaf: The Possibilities

February 8th, 2012

There is a neatly arranged time and place for everything in life, including peanut butter. I used to tell Matt, even before we were married, that I believed in the concept of soul mates. Something about our meeting and the way that we clicked made me feel confident that there was a reason that I [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: February 2012 Mix

February 16th, 2012

The February 2012 Mix is the first time we’ve featured most of these artists, but you can be sure you’ll be hearing more about them in the coming months. For example, I can’t get enough indie r&b recently, so artists like AlunaGeorge, Milo Mills, and Woolfy have been getting a lot of plays in our [...]

Cognac Ice Cream from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams: The Sexy Ice Cream (For Valentine’s Day)

February 6th, 2012

When I lived in Italy, I learned three very important things. Don’t talk about God. Don’t talk about politics. And eat pasta as a first course. I’ve managed to be pretty good at sticking to the first two rules, but it’s on the third that I waiver. It’s an internal struggle that I have; in [...]

Today we’re sharing something REALLY cool with you.

Musical Pairings: M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming

February 13th, 2012

Having named his band M83 after the spiral galaxy Messier 83 (a.k.a. the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy), it is clear that Anthony Gonzalez is attracted to things that are grand, luminous and stunning in their scope. At the same time, Gonzalez’s music has always demonstrated his desire to grasp and recreate a nostalgic, child-like sense of [...]

Eggplant and Meyer Lemon Risotto: Color

February 2nd, 2012

All of the walls in my house are white. I hadn’t intended for it to be that way, but for the past seven years, I have lived in a rented apartment where painting the walls is off-limits. I never thought it would get to me so much. You see, my bedroom in my parents’ home [...]

Diary of a Music Blogger: Various Artists – The Roots of Chicha

February 10th, 2012

I only first knowingly experienced cumbia last year when Kasey and I visited Colombia. It was everywhere we went. In the tropical wall-ringed Cartagena, for example, rhythmic, Caribbean-inspired cumbias spilled out of small clubs packed full of late night revelers into the early hours of morning. But Cumbia wasn’t limited to the coast. In Bogota, [...]
