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 [...]

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 [...]

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: 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, [...]

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: BoardWalk – I’m To Blame

May 14th, 2013

Los Angeles’ duo BoardWalk, Mike Edge and Amber Quintero, started recording music together last summer. The dreamy and ethereal “I’m To Blame” is the first release and calls to mind early releases by Beach House or Tennis. In other words, despite sounding pretty minimalist and DIY in nature, the tune is nonetheless atmospheric and lovingly melodic. Take [...]

A Mother’s Day Giveaway with Sucré

April 30th, 2013

A few weeks ago, I started thinking about Mother’s Day. What I wanted to do to celebrate my mom. And then suddenly, I had this realization that I’m a MOM. To another little human! A little person who wakes up in her crib and stares up at me with her big eyes every morning, and [...]

Musical Pairings: Junip – Junip

May 13th, 2013

I like the idea of being a risk taker. By it’s very nature, it sounds adventurous and exciting. It sounds totally baller. It’s the essence of YOLO (and FIDLAR for that matter). But although I like the idea of being a risk taker in theory, I’m not a risk taker in practice. Not a true [...]

Turntable Kitchen City Guide: Louisville, KY

April 25th, 2013

A few months ago, I was flipping through Flipboard (ha!) on my iPad in bed when I came across Lonely Planet’s list of Top 10 US travel destinations. The number one place on their list? Louisville, Kentucky. I yelled out to Matt, who was brushing his teeth in the bathroom to relay my curiosity about [...]

Single Serving: Airbird & Napolian – In The Zone

May 10th, 2013

This jam from Airbird & Napolian, which features guest vocals from Erika Spring, has a beautiful house groove and a catchy-as-hell, get-your-ass-dancin’ shuffle. Yeah, I’m feeling it. A full length is coming from Cascine this winter. Thanks to Gorilla vs. Bear for sharing this.
