All Things Chill

Queen & King hash: Fried potatoes, roasted beets, cubed flat iron steak, fried egg, goat’s milk butter, truffle salt. chive.
At home, when I think of all the ingredients that I have at my disposal, I run a check against all the flavor profiles that I have and create accordingly. I choose one strong flavor [...]

Original post here. Super excited to head down to Chicago and re-immerse myself into the familiar. I remember I did a Chicago theme’d mixset a few years back, so I decided to post it again. If you’re totally sick of my mixsets my man Jorge was featured on WNUR a few weeks [...]

Saved the company some $$$ by dj’ing the company party at the Seattle Space Needle! Good times, good times. Quick video before everyone showed up. Had to keep it family friendly and even though I played newer tracks for the kiddies at the end of the night… here’s a string of songs [...]

Inara George’s breathy and delicate voice with Greg Kurstin deliciously retro, yet relevant beats and melodies make another jump into my portable musical device in the form of a new album: The Bird and the Bee – Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future.
I was (secretly still am) in love with their previous tracks: F_cking [...]

You guys are probably busy with all the new Macworld LOVE, but AOL just released a Shoutcast iPhone app (App Store Link)! WOOHOO! This means that you can take your favorite Internet radio stations away from the computer! PREPARE FOR A TON OF EXCLAMATION MARKS! LOL.
If you didn’t know, I’m a [...]

Youtube link here. I’m not convinced that Kanye West is best suited for long strings of choruses, but the the driving beats, the perpetual wave of synths and the “sing, but you want to shout it at the top of your lungs” lyrics are too powerful for me to ignore. I’d be remiss [...]

“Like wax on your tongue.”
That’s what it feels like to listen to The Whitest Boy Alive, a spinoff project of Kings of Convenience of which Erlend Øye is the lead singer of both entities. Brecken and Mark got me in the know. Hee hee. This may be a disservice to Erlend, but [...]

Via Skratchworx. Midi controlled sexiness. I love my Technics 1210’s, but I’d love a separate scratching gizmo to take on the road with me.
SELL THIS PLZ!

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 / [...]

Finally, a Twitter + Hype Machine + LastFM solution that I didn’t even think I needed! Sexy. Read up peoples, it’s gonna blow your mind – via Three Imaginary Girls (based in Seattle, WA!):
My technology-loving multi-tasking ass is rejoicing at this moment. Now you can have Hype Machine send a tweet to Twitter [...]

I’ve been a big Death Cab for Cutie fan since Ben Giddard’s foray into electronica with The Postal Service. Their last album, Plans, was actually playing on my iPod nano this morning on the way to work (while I hacked and slashed baddies on my Ninja Gaiden DS demo – more on that later). [...]

You Tube link here. Taken from a recent tweet:
Favorite song (and way to say I love you) of right now: Ingrid Michaelson – Take me the way I am
Apparently, it’s been featured on an Old Navy commercial just like Lights – February Air… which only makes ME WANT TO BUY EVERYTHING FROM OLD NAVY. [...]

Flickr album here. So the gig went well and it was a really great turnout for a FREAKIN’ Tuesday. It was everything that the flyer said: Jorge spun the vinyl and I played the horn. Good times, good times.
Jacqui, Clint and Jake stopped by – looking totally FIERCE btw – [...]
