A Peek Inside the May Pairings Box (The Smoke Box)

May 22nd, 2013 Baked Vanilla Cake Donuts with Maple and Meyer Lemon Glaze

This month’s Pairings Box was devoted to smoke. We wanted it to smell like campfire when you opened your box, and I think we achieved that goal with the month’s Premium Ingredient, Hickory Smoked Pacific Sea Salt. This month’s recipe collection included: Sweet Potato Chips with Hickory Smoked Pacific Sea Salt Turntable Kitchen’s Smoky 6 [...]

Single Serving: The Preatures – Is This How You Feel?

May 22nd, 2013 The Preatures - Is This How You Feel? single

I’m definitely digging the groove on this lead single from Sydney, Australia-based The Preatures‘ upcoming EP. The band lay out a tumbling, old-school soul vibe while vocalist Isabella Manfredi unfurls a sweet and sultry croon that reminds me a little of Feist at her most upbeat. It’s incredibly addicting. Not only that, because they sport two [...]

Curtain Call: Strawberry-Raspberry and Mint Frozen Yogurt

May 20th, 2013 Strawberry-Raspberry and Mint Frozen Yogurt

Recently, I wrote a short piece about summer movies for Gather Journal. It skewed toward being poetic and inspired a fair amount of nostalgia. The article came as a surprise to my friends and family who know that I am somewhat notoriously not a movie person. I am spectacularly behind on new releases (though I [...]

Case Studies is the project of Seattle-songwriter Jesse Lortz (also from the band The Dutchess and the Duke). His sophomore LP, This Is Another Life, is slated for release on June 11th. I haven’t heard the whole release yet, but I pre-ordered a copy of the release based solely on the strength of the album’s first single “Everything.” [...]

A Nice Number

May 13th, 2013

I’m turning 30 in a few short weeks. A nice number. If feels heavy, but in a good way. Like a quality watch, or a cutting board made of real wood. I have accomplished a few things that I am proud of. I never made a ’30 before 30′ list. I have visited 19 countries [...]

Musical Pairings: Jessie Ware – Devotion

May 20th, 2013 Jessie Ware - Devotion LP

Until recently I didn’t consider myself a fan of pop music. In fact, I’d once believed that pop music was the antithesis of everything I liked about music. In high school I’d have described myself as a fan of “alternative music” which meant I was obsessed with Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Bjork, and Radiohead’s The Bends and OK [...]

The Flower Recipe Book: An Interview with the Authors + Two Recipes!

May 8th, 2013

I’m charmed by The Flower Recipe Book by Alethea Harampolis and Jill Rizzo, owners of Studio Choo, a floral design studio here in San Francisco. I first came across their arrangements at the San Francisco Kinfolk brunch last year, and was blown away by their approach to arranging flowers. I adore having fresh flowers in my home, [...]

Single Serving: Shark Week – Go West

May 17th, 2013 Shark-Week-Go-West-label

Our friends at Analog Edition/Everybody Taste are back with a brand new vinyl single from D.C.-based quartet Shark Week. You may remember these swaggering garage rockers from our October 2012 mix (their track “Get High” was a highlight). Shark Week’s latest offering features a pair of bluesy, sunburnt grooves the four piece recorded in the Santurce neighborhood [...]

Blackberry Almond Skillet Cake, Leaning

May 1st, 2013

One of the best things about having a blog is being able to throw something out into the ethosphere and encourage people to talk about it. The conversations I have here, with you, are some of my favorites. We both sit behind computer screens, but we’re still talking. Sometimes we talk about super touchy feely [...]

Single Serving: Oscar – “Never Told You” & “I Don’t Care”

May 15th, 2013

If you’re looking for a new artist to get excited about, you need look no further than 22-yo London-based Oscar Scheller. He’s released only three tracks so far, but they are damn good. “Never Told You” opens with a chugging rhythm (likely pinched from “Paid In Full“) balanced alongside bright, shuffling keys. When they enter, [...]
