Here’s a short video I did of Tayisha Busay performing in Soho’s Brooklyn Industries. I saw them also in October at another Brooklyn Industries event. They’re pretty fun and the music is catchy.

On my return to New York I decided to take a video of what was outside my window. I fell in love with the beautiful landforms and thought it would be great to use the miniature effect on my point and shoot camera. What this does is not only focus on a certain part of the frame, thus making the image look miniaturized, but it also speeds up the scene, so everything moves fast. Of course when you’re flying, you don’t really notice the speed. I say for every minute of actual shooting, the video will be about 10 seconds long.
Anyways, enjoy the video. The actual order of location is not correct, as the Grand Canyon is at the end of the movie, and not in the middle.

Here’s a delightful video I created of one of my favorite Burmese dishes. It’s Coconut Milk Chicken Noodle Soup. And it’s amazing. There’s also a vegetarian alternative. Instead of chicken or broth, you would substitute those ingredients with mung beans and if available, vegetarian broth.
Hope you enjoy it and I will probably try to make this dish myself.

Christmas is only 9 days away and my favorite activity during this season is not shopping (ugh…can’t stand the crowds), it’s not the parties (ugh…yes I am that wallflower by the punch bowl), and it’s not playing in the cold, soon to be upon us snowy weather (definitely NOT!). It’s actually baking.
I loves me a carb-fueled day by a hot 350 degree oven. Bowls and ingredients spread out on a wide table (or kitchen island..sigh…) ready for creating something unknown and hopefully tasty. Like a mad scientist I love experimenting with different ingredients, like adding apples to brownie tarts, and this time adding some instant coffee to some gingerbread men cookie dough. After the baking comes the fun of icing the cookies. Instead of the traditional smiley face design, I utilized the ever ubiquitous emoticons of happy, questioning, winking, shocked, and a few others symbols. Call it the 21st century gingerbread man if you’d like. I call them delish.
The guy on the left is suppose to have an iPod. Hey! I’m not Picasso…

Maybe on my next science experiment I’ll try chopped canned olives on my brownie tarts. Oh yeah, sweet, salty, and well…you never know!

I was early pre-Black Friday shopping yesterday and headed over to the Coach store just for a looksy. Unfortunately that always turns out into a depressing thing. Well as I walked in, I spotted this bright and beautiful iPad case. Of course I don’t have an iPad, but I have been looking for a reason for buying one. So I guess this is a sign that I need to get one. Maybe I’ll wait for the iPad 3. Still, she’s a beauty, ain’t she?
The Julia Embossed Patent Tablet…sigh…
Here’s a close-up detail:
Price tag – $198

Would you like a cuppa? How ’bout a few hundred? If you’re around the Flatiron building on 23rd Street between 5th Avenue and Broadway, check out these imaginatively illustrated paper coffee cups by Gwyneth Leech.
You can also catch her in action Tuesdays-Saturdays (11am-2pm). The exhibit lasts ’til the end of the year, so you have some time. Until then, have a cup of joe and watch this short video I did of her exhibit.

Saturday’s showcase ended early at Lucky’s Burger. Before my turkey burger, I had to do some work. Headed to the LES to catch the melodically beautiful harmonies of Savoir Adore and the catchy dance beats of Beat Connection at the Bowery Electric.
It was then off to Pianos to catch You Won’t whose multi-tasking drummer was mesmerizing to watch. Following them was Lady Lamb and the Beekeeper who showed off her guitar skills, unfortunately to an annoyingly rude crowd who talked throughout her set. She even told the audience to shut up, but what do you expect…the bar was next to the stage.
I was pretty exhausted by Saturday. I’m just glad it’s over, but also pretty sad it’s over. Well, until next time, here’s a 4 minute recap of CMJ 2011.
The bands appearing in the video (in order of appearance) include:
Atlas Sound, The Dum Dum Girls, Casiokids, Viva Brother, We Are Augustines, Fallulah, Little Red, Small Black, Dom, Locksley, The Beets, Lady Lamb and the Beekeeper, Beat Connection, Savoir Adore, You Won’t, You Say France and I Whistle, Hands, The Duke Spirit.
The ones in bold include a musical portion from their set. Enjoy.

Day 4 of CMJ music fest and I’m still going strong. First up was a trip to the Ace Hotel, to catch the last bit of EMA, before I rushed over to the Living Room. Unfortunately wristbands for the Paste show were not ready, so I headed back uptown for a nap at Barnes and Noble. Then it was back to the Ace Hotel for Bradford Cox’s Atlas Sound. So glad I arrived early. Some people couldn’t make it in to the hotel.
Cox came out in pajamas, apparently he has a room at the hotel. As he sound checked his own equipment, he wittily chatted with the applause-ready crowd, which he thought way too weird. The perfectionist in Cox had to stop during his set to make sure the sound was perfect. I’m no musician, but it sounded pretty good from where I was sitting.
Then it was off to the Living Room, where I got to play with some guitars and pedals upstairs in the Googie’s Lounge at the Stomp Box Exhibit. It’s just like going to Guitar Center, but you get to play with a variety pedals right in front of you!!! There’s one more day to enjoy this exhibit, so go early.
After guitar practice, it was off to Spike Hill. We Are Augustines played a set full of vibrant guitar melodies and alot of sweat.
Danish singer Fallulah, joined by a backing band, performed a dance-ready set full of fun beat and a crazy-ass back bend, which may very well be my favorite image of the festival. WOAH!
UK’s Viva Brother later performed a short six song Brit, 90s influenced set, to the dismay of some people in the audience who wanted a little more. The band wins the award for most gear brought along, as stacks of cases lined the side wall like a tower.
Finally, Norway’s electro band Casiokids performed a late night set of fun, danceable pop.
Was a great night and sensible shoes are what got me through the whole day! Thank you New Balance!
