Saw Drive this week. Love the movie and love these two songs.
A Real Hero
Under Your Spell (Not the album version but it will do.)
Fresh…although, not so fresh
April 25th, 2010
This post is almost a year in the making now. I took a trip to Toronto last August and while there I came across this awesome vegan/vegetarian restaurant on Spadina Ave. called Fresh, which happened to have an even better italian restaurant right next door. I, being the devout carnivore, got the veggie burger so I could at least pretend I was eating meat. I ended up stopping by several times during my trip.
playlist
April 25th, 2010
In light of recent (becoming distant) events, I decided to make a break-up playlist. Maybe it’s a little lame, maybe it’s a little depressing, but hey, it made me laugh. *Note* These songs don’t have any connection to my previous relationship. I just like them. Enjoy.
LCD Soundsystem – “Someone Great”
MSTRKRFT – “Heartbreaker”
Snow Patrol – “You Could be Happy”
Grizzly Bear – “Knife”
Billie Holiday – “Solitude”
Fiest – “The Park”
Airborne Toxic Event – “Sometime Around Midnight”
Postal Service – “District Sleeps Along Tonight”
Earl Greyhound – “It’s Over”
Jeff Buckley – “Last Goodbye”
The High Line
March 16th, 2010
In my last trip up to the big city, I got word of this newly constructed elevated park, officially named The High Line. The park’s been constructed on old rail lines from the 30′s and it’s amazing how serene the park is, even though it’s amongst the metropolis. It’s beautiful.
Yinka Shonibare
March 1st, 2010
I’m a little delayed on posting this, but there’s been an awesome exhibit at DC’s African Art Museum by Yinka Shonibare. He takes classic scenes portrayed in previous art works (literature, operas, paintings, etc.) and reconstructs them using colorful textiles, headless mannequins, or erotic positioning to show a completely different perspective. Although, no photography was allowed, I snapped a couple shots. Don’t tell anyone.
