    Welcome the newest member of Muzak Nation:

    I was at my local Whole Foods and, much to my surprise, "Ball and Chain" came across the Muzak channel, loud and clear. Well, not too loud, of course, because that would bother the customers.

     

    It was simultaneously wonderful and awful. But the best part of it was watching this 50-something Hinsdale woman (Hinsdale is a very wealthy, WASP-y community in the West Suburbs of Chicago) doing an absentminded little shuffle in front of the organic granola, and twirling her $300 sunglasses.

     

    And this is after hearing "Blitzkreig Bop" over the Walgreens Muzak system a year or so ago.

     

    Punk is the new Barry Manilow.

    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:

     

    Kendal Duque {Sepia}

     

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

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    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.
