I was walking the aisles at my local Asian Grocery store and I came across some nondescript video game. It was selling for slightly more than a shilling, so I figured I’d take it home and see what the game was all about. I loaded it into my computer and was surprised to see an unripe jackfruit appear on the screen. If you aren’t of [...]

Time for Just One More Bowl of Chili Mix: Generationals, BellaMaine, Good Graeff, The Oh Hellos, White Like Fire, Wire, Aware Wolf, Big Eyes and Young Fathers

Kit Carson, frontiersman and mountain man, allegedly gasped out the words “I wish I had time for just one more bowl of chili” before succumbing to an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Considering he lived his final years in the great state of Colorado, one can infer that Kit wasn’t just talking about any chili. He probably was referring to the green kind. Green chili you say? [...]

Yes that is a Vegan Taco. It is also a Vegan Taco shirt. The only problem? The taco came from one business, the shirt from another. J-Fur was famished after a day of grocery shopping. I had always wanted to try a hole in the wall taco place just past the farmer’s market so I pulled in without a thought to the attire I was [...]

What Spring Does with the Cherry Trees Mix

What Spring Does with the Cherry Trees Mix: Dan Friel, The Royal Concept, Apparat, Moxi, Boxed Wine, Campfires, I is Another, Satellite Stories and Wooden Wand

Poet Pablo Neruda masterfully blends love, fruit and slaughtering butterflies in his poem Every Day You Play. The poem’s essence can be summed up best by its closing line “I want to do with you what the spring does with the cherry trees.” In most of the world spring isn’t yet here. In Florida, I don’t think it ever left. Still, it would be premature [...]

A couple of things I really enjoy in life (hockey and America) are both staring at their own versions of a “fiscal cliff.” How we’ve gotten here is a testament, not to smart politicking, but to two sides that are more concerned with saving face and not coming out the “loser” than seeking a viable solution. The long term effects of such short term thinking [...]

George Ade once suggested that “one man’s poison ivy is another man’s spinach.” I think back to the time my grandmother built a fire out of poison ivy while us kids were out sledding well into the cold Pennsylvania night. All that smoke hitting me square in the face would, in less than 48 hours, cause me to swell up. My right eye was half [...]

Madonna once breathlessly sang “You’ve got to make him express how he feels.” At the opposite side of the spectrum, NWA proclaimed “I’m expressin’ with my full capabilities, and now I’m livin’ in correctional facilities.” People, people, we’ve got to find that balance. You don’t want diarrhea of the mouth, I’m talking the kind that starts hindering your ability to get car insurance (right AC?). [...]

Don’t Amount to a Hill of Beans Mix: XOV, Blonde Summer, Diamonds Under Fire, Dan Deacon, Slam Donahue, Kid Cudi, Men Without Hats, Gracie, Franz Nicolay and Pan

by: Tender Branson in legumes, playlist on Sep. 2, 2012

For many many centuries the bean, the powerful purveyor of vegetarian protein, has been regarded as the epitome of worthlessness. In the fairytale Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack’s mom was pissed that he came home with beans instead of something more valuable so she tossed them out the window. I echoed her frustration in high school when I had to read The Bean Trees instead [...]

by: Tender Branson in playlist, savory pastry, vegan, vegetable on Aug. 1, 2012

In 2001 I traveled across country with the girl I was wooing (who later became my wife). When we hit Idaho we spent a night sleeping in our car on the side of a mountain, miles from civilization. The next morning, stiff as hell, I vividly remember traveling through a number of areas named “Butte.” There seemed to be a Butte for every mood and [...]
