Just some random pictures of our oldest monster. Carol took all of these and they turned out great.
By popular request, here is my recipe for our new favorite desert, Mango Sweet Sticky Rice…
I would normally share this kind of thing with Kennedy who would llol or cqtm, but she’s out of town. So I’ll share it with everyone.
Its been a little while for an update. Sorry about that. Maybe this will cover the bases at least for a little while. Read the Rest »
When we’re in the mood for music, but I don’t know what we’re in the mood for, I always play Band of Horses. It drives Carol batty. So, since I can’t decide what to play for Music Monday…
It took us too long to get these up here.
I have been getting texts and calls all morning from everyone asking how our weekend was. If you dont know what I am talking about - here is a quick run-through cause there is another short film to follow. Read the Rest »
The Mates of State (video below) released their new album this week and it is easily their best. We saw the Mates of State play just a couple weeks before we got married. Carol and I started reflecting on all the bands we’ve seen live together. We’re actually disappointed in how small this list is, but we’re doing our best to lengthen it. It helps living in a real city again.
Anyway, here is a basically chronological list of all the shows we could remember:
Dosh (Insanely impressive live… note saxophone)
WHY?
Alias
Sole
Odd Nosdam
Bright Black Morning Light (So boring. We fell asleep. Literally.)
Papa M (aka David Pajo, one of the original members of Slint, who I saw on their reunion tour with Rick, but Carol couldn’t come)
Aspects of Physics
Pinback (Great studio band, underwhelming live show)
Simon & Garfunkel (At Staples Center, the largest show we’ve seen together.)
The Notwist
Cex (twice in one day)
The Postal Service (Best. Show. Ever.)
Mates of State
Styrofoam (we also saw Alias a second time at this show)
Yacht
The Blow (who you know from one of our videos)
Electrelane
Arcade Fire (okay, maybe this was the best show ever)
Mia Dia Todd
Jose Gonzalez
This song is SOOOOOOO Good.
