Ranting, Raving, Crazy Complaining

The lovely lads over at The L Magazine asked us to spill our biggest gripes about the Brooklyn music scene, and du-f course, we happily obliged. Taking one of my vices and personality pitfalls and turning it into an editorial piece is a complain train I'll happily hop aboard, and being given the opportunity to talk about our feelings — because we have a lot of feelings — was grand.

Find out what some fabulous Brooklynites chimed in about and see what drives us two crazy riiiight over here. A hint: we love blogs, and hate blogs, and aren't scared to talk about them. (blogs, that is.)

Here Is A Sandwich In Me, For All To See.

It's no secret that Donald and I are certain breed of fatties when it comes to eating, and now, thanks to my favorite food-music hybrid blog Eating The Beats, my glorious personal gluttony is on display. Literally, actually, because that photo above is what I look like about every 90 minutes — throat full of sandwich, and terribly ecstatic about it all.

Find out about what artist-requested meals we've cooked for bands like Acrylics and Boy & Bear, why I'm one can of bean soup away from becoming a 90-year-old and the reason why you might not want to eat my whole wheat pancakes over on the site. 

Mega-thanks to Laura at ETB for allowing me to talk about my digestive system for longer than anyone should ever allow me to!

Oh, The Nerve!

Happy early Valentine's Day, losers!

I'm not calling you names because of the off chance you may be alone on the Hallmarkiest of holidays, because we all know you are never alone when candy is around (just ask my best friends "LUV U" and "4 EVER"). I'm bashing you all because you're currently reading intead of doing the one thing y'all should be doing — listening to love songs and wallowing in a sea of neverending thoughts about someone you love/d/will soon love.

And what's VD — oh sorry, that's something else that comes from loving — without an easy-listening playlist? Our pals Nerve.com asked us to contibute our favorite love song from the past year, and the one we plucked out of our brainlists is quite the doozy. We hope you enjoy, and check out the rest of the suggetstions from the fine people who contributed. That Mark Ronson tune has slowly crawled its way up the guilty pleasure ladder and ain't going back down any time soon.

Hey, Look At That!

Blogs.com included lil' ugly us in their list of Top 10 acoustic music session blogs! We're positively jazzed to be among such good company, musical pun only slightly intended.

The website says they're the best in blogs. The best, people!

We're putting this one on the fridge.
