aaaaand, we’re back…. there seems to be a theme going on in these posts… stool and muzak. i’ve already touched upon the former, so i’ll take a turn with the latter. (btw… papa loves mambo… the scene where marty’s on the hoverboard behind young biff’s ride and the song is playing on the radio, they go through the tunnel and he loses radio signal… boo yah!) anywho… so, mikey wants me to chat a bit about the John Legend/Corrine Bailey Rae concert I went to on Tuesday at UCI Bren Center. It was stellar. Moving on.

Amy Winehouse. She has a face best hidden behind a paper bag, but damn the chick can sing. She’s Shirley Bassey meets Lauryn Hill reincarnated into a tatty, foul mouthed, jewess brit with the face only a mother could love. Check her out. I dig her. Like a grave. Just close your eyes so you’re not distracted by the incongruity between the horse face and the kick ass voice.

Amy Winehouse – Rehab

After the smoothie incident, and the flied lice compromise I’ve come up with some conclusions.
1) When the inkling of not going back to the office occurs, go with the gut feeling and head to the beach. I’m sure the smoothie explosion would have easily been adverted.
B) The British (Jamie Oliver) weren’t meant to cook asian food, otherwise they’d have a wok. (Note to self, buy oil and better yet.. a wok.) (random imagery: Russel Peters saying “I’m Englishhhh… awhhhh.”)

Denouement
Regardless of how the events of the day progress in negative fashion there is always music to level the playing field!

Here is a great song/video from a classic indie/electronica/alternative group from England.
Ladytron – Destroy Everything You Touch

Another great song from Stockholm Sweden band Peter, Bjorn and John.
Is it a bit idealistic? *shrug* The guy playing the bongos is hilarious.

Take a listen and watch!

Peter, Bjorn and John – Young Folks

Moved out of my parents house, moved into a new apartment.
Got a new phone and new phone number.
Pushed the reset button on the loft405 site.
