Turntable Kitchen’s Earthquake Survival Kit
May 28th, 2012
As fog-dwelling San Franciscans, Kasey and I are huge fans of the California Academy of Science. The amazing museum sits just a few blocks from us in Golden Gate Park and includes a stunning aquarium, a state-of-the-art planetarium, a natural history museum, and a rainforest dome. Not only that, the museum hosts an ever-changing series [...]

Turntable Kitchen :: May 2012 Mix
May 29th, 2012
It’s almost down to the wire, but there was no way I’d miss the chance to release our May 2012 mix. After all, I’ve uncovered far too much great new music for me not to share it. For example, we have some irresistible jams from the likes of Mozella (from her sessions with Brian Holland [...]

Chocolate Cakes with Rosewater Frosting, A Birthday
May 24th, 2012
Everything starts anew. Year after year that I live in San Francisco, I am reminded that the fog will roll in right around my birthday. And I will overdose on peaches. I revisit the trails, mountains, and seasides that I always do. Year after year. I’ll revive my bicycle, and a few pairs of shorts [...]

May 25th, 2012
Since I’ve started this blog I’ve seen far too many promising young artists who don’t know how to self edit, foolishly over-saturating the market with subpar material and, as a result, damaging their reputation as an artist. If I were managing a band/artist I’d caution them against any sense of urgency to release new material. [...]

May 21st, 2012
I just got back from a whirlwind business trip to New York City, so I’m just getting into the swing of things (this morning was a rough wakeup call!). For today’s recipe, you’ll have to head over to Whole Living, where I’m guest posting (!!!!). Rhubarb doesn’t get a lot of love, but it holds [...]

May 24th, 2012
For a relatively new artist without a debut record to his name, Frank Ocean certainly has managed to attract a lot of attention. Unfortunately, it’s not all been good. For example, he’s already been threatened with a lawsuit by The Eagles’ Don Henley if he so much as performs the track “American Wedding” live because [...]

May 16th, 2012
To love a city is to get involved in a complicated relationship. It means to persevere in the face of inconveniences — stairs and cobblestones, small aisle ways and laundromats. The thrill of city life is knowing that the best is always out there, but the worst is always out there, too. I’ve been a [...]

May 23rd, 2012
Grand Resort is the project of Dominican Republic-born multi-instrumentalist Andrés Pichardo. Pichardo initially made his way to the States to study at a school in Massachusetts where he recorded the material for his debut album in his bedroom. Subsequently, Pichardo relocated to Brooklyn where he had the tracks mastered by Josh Bonati (The Men, Widowspeak, Zola Jesus). The gauzy, [...]

May 14th, 2012
A few months ago, my friend Danielle and I decided to come together for a creative collaboration. I had written a little essay about food, music and the life that Matt and I share together, and we thought it would be fun to give a little visual perspective to it. I knew I would ask [...]

May 22nd, 2012
I’ve always been a fan of The Rolling Stones’ tune “Ruby Tuesday.” So after watching Arcade Fire perform the track alongside Mick Jagger for the Kristen Wiig farewell on SNL, I was inspired to feature it here. The tune was released in 1967 as the b-side to the single “Let’s Spend The Night Together” and [...]

Croque Monsieur French Toast Bake, prepared by Jewels of New York, photograph via Sunday Suppers I’ll be honest: I’m not a big fan of brunch (I much prefer splitting my breakfast and lunch into [...]
Continue Reading...Single Serving: Night Panther – Snudge
May 21st, 2012
Philadelphia-based Night Panther are serious about bringing the sexy back to upbeat indie pop. Or at least it would seem that way based on their debut single. Without a doubt, “Snudge” is an intoxicating blend of brilliantly-lit synths, rubbery rhythms, and velvety melodies. The duo, Farzad Houshiarnejad and Mike Cammarata, would seem to have some hot lightning on [...]

May 9th, 2012
We women are constantly reminding each other that we support one another. We welcome and share each other’s ideas. We compliment each other on our clothing choices and haircuts. We boast about each other’s cooking skills. We raise a glass to each other’s promotions, raises, and career accomplishments. We tell each other that we all [...]

May 18th, 2012
The track “Untitled(LovedU)2″ from Blu’s 2009 album HerFavoriteColo(u)r doesn’t just sample Radiohead’s “You and Whose Army?”, the track is the very foundation for the entire cut. Indeed, it’s not Mr. Barnes voice we hear first, but Mr. Yorke’s as the MC sings along on the tracks opening line. From there, the Radiohead frontman’s vocals are [...]

May 7th, 2012
When you live in California, sometimes you feel hours behind everyone else. Weirdly, we watch a recording of the ball dropping in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, instead of our own. The sun lets many of us sleep a few extra hours, while most of the country is already up and at ‘em. But [...]

May 16th, 2012
I was introduced to the music of Edmonton-based producer Thomas Michael, who records music under the nom de plume Ghibli, via a post by the always awesome Tim of Smoke Don’t Smoke. What struck me immediately about the music was how unique and yet familiar Ghibli’s latest album Rare Pleasures sounds. Indeed, Michael hashed the [...]
