Happy Friday to all yall!

We all know how much I like a good web hoax; this one, which actually had the balls to take out an ad in the Economist, may be shaping up to be the best ever.

Just a few synthesizer based tracks I’ve been digging lately.  Enjoy.

Bjork - Play Dead

This string anchored, almost symphonic piece is Bjork at her lyrical best.   Equal parts sullen and hopeful, you cannot deny the weight of lines like

Darling, stop confusing me, With your wishful thinking.

Brilliant. 

LISTEN NOW

“How long.. how long must we sing this song..”  Er, I mean, “Wait for this to feature Denver”

Don’t be evil.  *Unless it pays well.

All of my friends rave about Ratatat, and while I’m still getting into them, I have to give props for their choice of studios.

The dose is back, boyeee!

First off, stalking; one more American industry outsourced.

Living downtown offers plenty of perks for the few, the proud, the drunkards. 

First off, home is never more than a soused stumble away at the end of the night.  Next we have the benefit of dozens of bars to choose from on a given night, as well as Denver’s finest liquor store, Argonaut, just minutes away. 

Finally, at least in Denver, we have one of the biggest perks of all, the “City Book”.  City Book is a coupon book that local businesses use to advertise.  It always contains plenty of buy one get one free drink coupons and the like.  In the past, I’d used a few of the coupons once in awhile, but realized I was missing out on some real savings by not making more of a concerted effort. 

Thus was born the idea of the Drunken Sherpa Coupon Crawl. (more…)

Last night I made the rounds in my old Capital Hill hood drinking, eating raw fish and soaking up the setting sun. 

The prior evening I got a hip tip from a waitress about a tasting that was being held the next day at Aqua.  She told me it would include free food AND booze and that the festivities would start at 5PM.

One of my big projects right now involves utilizing public transportation.  Once the south east light rail opens in 60 days (but who’s counting) I plan to ditch my car entirely.  Last night’s outing was no exception.  I had considered taking an actual BUS to my destination (which I haven’t rode, save to the airport, in approximately 15 years) but realized I could use the walk.  (more…)

..and the mother of the year award goes to:

Lonelygirl15 is either brillant viral marketing, or a bit creepy.  Be sure to check out her videos on YouTube as well.

Why exactly would this be considered ‘news‘? 

Today’s musical education will arrive after work. 

Who knew being a contributing editor @ Urban Monarch could become a second full time job…?
