    Star Chefs Rising Star Gala

    not very vegetarian friendly.

     

    These are all restauranteurs and foodies who are focused on ingredients, technique, and flavor combinations, not veg-friendly lifestyles. But yeah, you are right. It would be nice if they had an award specifically for vegetarian chefs. Althought I don't know if there are enough of them out there (particularly in fine dining, where this is focused) to merit such distinction.

     

    Looks like you'd just have to keep slugging back the wine, champagne, and cocktails.

    :throwup

    And yeah, between this, the concert tickets, my MS, and the brain surgery...

    My friend Josh was honored as the "Rising Star" sommelier and invited me to be there, as his guest. Very posh and a lot of fun! T'was a cocktail party-like reception, with each of the honoured chefs set up at a different station, offering 2 small plates each. Here are those offerings:

    Who's a better songwriter (Let's make it interesting):

    I'm just thinking that Davies is (of course, since I started this thing), pound-for-pound, the best pure songwriter of the bunch.

    •Waterloo Sunset

    •Two Sisters

    •Sunny Afternoon

    •Oklahoma, USA

    •Picture Book

     

    and, yes

    •Lola

    and

    •You Really Got Me

     

     

    And dozens more are so freaking amazing that they bring me to tears, as much for the quality of the craft as for the emotional content of the song.

    Son Volt

    - Remember that time Trace was better than AM and we all thought you were the future? Then Wilco kicked your ass for the next decade? You must really hate that.

     

    ouch.

     

    Still, Wilco has never recorded a song as good or as timeless as "Windfall" or "Tear-Stained Eye"

    (nor has Son Volt, post-Trace)

     

     

    (EDIT: And, of course I say this with a ton of love for Wilco.)

    Yeah, that's me on TV

    As I tried to tell you once before - you are just digging a hole for yourself by posting this stuff over and over again. Most people are not going to take this stuff seriously - due to your constant self promotion.

     

    But - at the end of the day, there is no rule about how many threads a person may start here - so I guess you have that going for you. You'll notice that I am not making fun of you, or jumping on you - but rather trying to get you to see what the deal is.

     

    I see. And thanks.

    And, I seriously do forget whether or not I have posted these things before.

    My memory is for shit and I did do a search for this particular topic before posting this.

     

    So, apologies to everyone here for, what appears to be a bombardment of posts about my music and my band. I do hope that I contribute enough in the way of other posts about other bands that won't ostracize me from the community.

     

    Mods: feel free to delete this thread.

    What am I missing here? My Bloody Valentine

    It took a VERY long time for Loveless to hit me, too. All I can say is, if you generally like that type of thing, keep listening. Spin it again every now and then. There are a lot of layers to sort through, but once you start to hear the little bits and pieces, you start hearing more bits and pieces and then you start to hear more untill finally you hear it all.

     

    And when you do, it's a revelation.

     

    I speak from experience.

     

    So, if you feel like it, just keep listening. It will be very rewarding in the end. Or, if you feel like you've listened to it way too much already, give your copy to a friend who might appreciate it.

    why not put it on youtube and then post a link?

     

    i bet i would click on that, but be too lazy to send you a pm.

     

    also i would be unlazy enough to post and say that.

     

    I had it on YouTube, but the station made them take it down. So, I'm distributing it to friends for private performance.

    And, sorry rareair.

     

    I guess you could just post here that you want to see it, and I can send YOU a PM.

     

    At any rate, thanks to y'all who have shown interest.

    And now, I hope that in several months, when I get the bug up my butt to share this again, I will remember that I posted this -- twice.
