The combination of too many days in a row at work and unanticipated physical labour (read: physical labour) made today go on forever. Tonight I’m resting and then cramming for tomorrow’s day of recording at our friends Peter and Caitlin’s basement studio, the Bottle Garden. It’ll be the first time we’ve recorded outside of our apartment so it’s exciting and a bit hard to predict.

Directions for fresh mint tea: put mint leaves in a glass, add boiling water, enjoy.

Here I am giving a little geography lesson at work, showing the new girl from France where stuff is in North America. Also showing her that Canada is a sumo wrestler leaning out the window of a passenger train to wave at you.

Woah, this is the exact photo that this album cover was based on. I never saw the original, just a scan of Steve B. Meyers’ painting, which had a blonde woman replacing this sweet 70s lady.

Poached eggs with parsley

I know blogging your breakfast is a cliche, but I consider myself a bit of an expert when it comes to that first sacred meal. This morning (after eating the above breakfast) I was struck with the idea to start a FuckYeahBreakfast tumblr*. I’ve certainly got the credentials.

Well, as with most half-baked early-morning bursts of inspiration, someone on the internet has already thought of it, hence: FuckYeahBreakfast. The frustrating thing is that whoever started this tumblr did so in August and posted a bunch of photos on the first day and then one other photo a week later and now they haven’t updated in over 2 months! I know I could do so much better!

So I’ve decided to start a brand new blog without any fuckyeah associations. I give you: A Perfect Spread, a tumblr dedicated to honouring the holiest of meals in all of its forms. Follow it, if you like. You can submit your own photos of perfect breakfasts to be posted there by going to: http://aperfectspread.tumblr.com/submit

Thanks guys! Stay greasy!

*For those watching from outside the tumblr walls, there’s a tradition in here of creating tribute blogs in the pattern of FuckYeahSharks or FuckYeahUndercuts or FuckYeah1990s.

Our new setup in the living room. We’re on a bit of a cd-making spree, trying to have enough stuff ready to give everyone before we leave for Australia in December.

Reinventing the Magazine

Reinventing the Magazine:

“There was nothing quite like Aspen, beyond very short-run art projects, for nearly 30 years. But today, at a particularly tough time for magazines, a number of publications are again looking beyond the standard glossy format, experimenting with different manifestations of what a magazine can be. In doing so, they are offering their readers special experiences that Web sites and other free-content digital distractions can’t match.”

If he's black, he must rap

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:01:27 -0500

If he's black, he must rap:

R. Kelly. Bobby Brown. Ray J. Estelle. Sisqo. Russell Simmons. Shaggy. Damon Dash. M.I.A. Santigold. Kelis. T-Pain. Akon. All of these people have two things in common: 1) At one point, they were referred to by the New York Post as “rappers,” and 2) None of them are.

Great post on ignorance and lazy racism.
