The xx – Intro
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
I’ve been watching the winter Olympics quite a bit this year and was reminded of how much I like this track by The xx. You may have heard it in this commercial. I find it amusing that they advertise (what I consider to be) horrible music [...]
As I mentioned before, my photo has been selected to be in this year’s DCist Exposed photography show. The opening is Saturday, March 6th, from 6pm-10pm, and it looks like it will be a good time. I designed an e-flier of sorts from my photo (above) and pasted the press release below. I will be [...]
Lykke Li – Let It Fall

It’s a bird.
The other day (while waiting for some friends at a bar) I had the urge to draw something. I asked the bartender for a pen and this bird showed up. He appears to be falling. The other side of the napkin has [...]
Phantogram – Let Me Go
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
This past Monday I saw Phantogram at DC9 and quite enjoyed it. The more I go there, the more I like DC9 as a venue and bar . . . it’s kind of like having a band play in your (large) living room (if it [...]
Tipper – California Rolls
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
A couple weeks back I went to San Francisco to visit friends for a week and to celebrate my birthday. During my trip I drove down to Santa Cruz and Monterey with a friend. I had a fantastic time and hope to go back again soon [...]
Moloko – Over My Head
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
With all of this snow lately, it seems to be all that’s on my mind. If you are not a lover of snow, have no fear, my California photos will be up in the next week or so. I took a little break from working [...]
Massive Attack – Psyche (Featuring Martina Topley-Bird)
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Lately I have been in a bit of a music funk, so I was pretty excited to hear the new Massive Attack album that came out this week. I had a hard time picking one song (since I like all of them), but [...]
Arovane – Windy Wish Trees
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
If you live around DC you may have noticed that we’ve been getting a ridiculous amount of snow lately (terms include Snowmageddon, Snowpocalypse, SnOMG, Snogasm and more . . . I prefer to just call it snow or a winter walloping). In my neck of [...]
Tom Waits – Chocolate Jesus
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
It’s that time of year again . . . it’s World Nutella Day! It’s been snowing here most of the day, but I was determined to hunt down the illusive Nutella jar and get its photo (then eat its contents). I found this one attempting [...]
Duran Duran – Planet Earth
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Please excuse my absence from this past week (or so). I was in California visiting friends, driving along route 1, celebrating my birthday and doing other fun vacation things. They say it’s winter over there but I say it’s spring. The weather was perfect . [...]
