AllThingsRadio: New Music Summer ‘08 & Relation to Food!
Been listening to a lot of music lately! I’ll keep it concise, food-related (and random). Prepare yourselves. LOL.
Weezer - Red Album
Speakers: good for the commute home from work, being awkward in high school and air guitar-ing.
Headphones: looking through old yearbooks.
Highlights: #4 Heart Songs is cheesy / sappy, but genuinely hit home.
Food Relation: If this was playing in the background, I’d prolly fix myself a patty melt with jack cheese on sourdough bread, spicy fried okra, a strawberry banana milkshake and roasted garlic chocolate chip cookies - something new, but oh so very familiar of the past.
N.E.R.D. Seeing Sounds
Speakers: good for cleaning the house, drinking with friends and gettin’ bizzay.
Headphones: hitting the gym, assembling IKEA furniture.
Highlights: Everybody on the Internet seems to hate Yeah You, but I’m digging that saxophone.
Food Relation: Poached Shrimp on Shiso Flan, Peking duck tacos, red cabbage slaw and a perfect lychee mojito - a combination of many things that may not necessarily be a combination at first blush, but is.
Coldplay Viva La Vida
Speakers: Great for start the day shower / changing / ironing morning music and intentional melancholy sessions.
Headphones: Waiting for the bus in the rain and doodling in your notebook.
Highlights: “42″ is a beautiful track that starts off nice n’ mellow then goes into this crazy snare-heavy instrumental session - love it.
Food Relation: Center-cut heirloom pork chops with yorkshire pudding, a cranberry-horseradish sauce and haricots vert - warm, inviting and well balanced.

WOW. That was HARD to do. I doubt I’d EVER make a menu like the ones I described above, but I’ll sure as heck make SOMETHING from the list. Overall, I love all three albums and should be playing them over and over again (until something else comes along, right?). Hee hee.
Music + Food = YAY.
