The music of St. Vincent (Annie Clark). She reminds me of Fiest blended with Jenny Lewis and with a dash of Bjork. The New York Times posted an interview with Annie Clark who described the concept behind her new album:
“I wanted to make something that had the whimsy and the sweet of something very pure, like the Disney films, but also something that was kind of bloody and gory and disgusting,” she said. “I tried to combine those two things, both things that I love in equal parts, and see what happened.”
Stellar video clip of her performing my favorite song, “The Party,” off her album Actor.
Twitter. After being away from the micro-blogging powerhouse for a few weeks, I quickly fell back in love with it. Unfortunately, many Twitter newbies don’t feel the same way. I still stand behind my theory that Twitter is the equivalent to LiveJournal on a 140 character diet.
Sahale Gourmet Nut Blend. Essentially this stuff is a party in your mouth once you have a few. The blend consists of almonds, flax seeds, apple, dates, and red pepper, all which make this a completely addictive snack.
The Sparrow. I hope to finish this book by the end of the week. I’m currently half way through and have loved it so far. Interplanetary flash backs and flash forwards with exceptional character development. I haven’t enjoyed a book this much since I read The Lathe of Heaven.
