Post Punk Kitchen

These chicks put the "V" in vegan!

The Post Punk Kitchen will kick the Food Network's ass. That is our mission. That is why we exist. Uh, no not really, that's just incidental I guess. The Post Punk Kitchen is about happiness and fluffy white bunnies and running through the daisy fields barefoot, throwing tofu at passers-by and sprinkling all the earth's creatures with magical nutritional yeast. OK, well maybe our manifesto is not yet complete, luckily writing copy for websites is not all we do, we also cook! And film it. For you, our wonderful audience! So stop reading and start watching and then start cooking and then kick Emerill's ass and run through the fields!

How iMet My Neighbor on iTunes

Great story on NPR this morning about a guy who was using iTunes at his house and someone else's iTunes folder pops up! You can listen to it here:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6809099

Morning Edition, January 12, 2007 · One night, NPR reporter David Kestenbaum was listening to music on iTunes. And he was bored with his playlist. Then he noticed something strange — a mysterious folder called "Anna's Music" had popped up his screen. He'd never seen it before.

And the weird thing is, when he went to listen to the music, it was just like his. Everything he had, she had: Beck, the White Stripes, Beth Orton... It was as if he'd found his musical soulmate.

Who is Anna and how did her songs end up on Kestenbaum's computer?

Lennon or McCartney: Who Wrote That?

From the Across the Universe site, dedicated to The Beatles:

Being that the Beatles were a four-piece band, and eventually ALL of the members wrote the songs, it can be confusing for some listeners to know which Beatle's songwriting is preferred. I have compiled a list to the best of my knowledge of who wrote what song, but there are a few disputes, which I'll note. Also, if a song is not included, then it is not written by a Beatle, and you can find out who wrote that song by viewing the albums page, finding the album the song is on, view the track listing and see who wrote it. Collaboration songs will be noted here as well, but only the ones that were a "true" collaboration. Most of the songs have input from more than one member at some point, but I'll list who the dominant writer was.

See the list here!

Robert Christgau

Robert Christgau has been called the "Dean of American Rock Critics". He wrote for The Villiage Voice in New York for over 30 years, and is the master of the one-paragraph album review.

Now these are all online at his website: http://www.robertchristgau.com/cg.php

Here's an example review, for Europe '72 by Grateful Dead.

Europe '72 [Warner Bros., 1972]
This live triple is where everybody except certified Grateful Dead freaks gets off the bus, but I've still got my card and it ain't a joker. Sure they're beginning to sound very complacent--the whole "Morning Dew" side could be scratched, and the long version of "Truckin'" proves conclusively that the song doesn't truck much. But the best stuff here--the ensemble playing on "Sugar Magnolia," the movement of "China Cat Sunflower," Garcia's It Hurts Me Too" solo, the lyric to "Ramble On Rose"--is a lot more than laid-back good. It's laid-back brilliant. Most of the rest, patchy though it may be, is laid-back good. Also, I like the way they sing. (And write.) B+
