Music again

I know I've mentioned before, but Broken Social Scene is possibly the best live band there is. Here are pictures from the show I was at. Lisa Lobsinger wore the prettiest dress I'd ever seen.

Also, You Forget it in People may well be the best album that has come out in my lifetime.

Food Recommendations

1) Magic Stars from Publix: They are Publix's version of Lucky Charms and they are amazing. I eat them every morning without fail and they're half the price of Lucky Charms.
2) Louisiana Hot Sauce - Not too hot. Very cheap.
3) Trader Joe's Cinnamon Almonds - Ingredients: Almonds, sugar, cinnamon
I JUST FOUND OUT THERE IS A TRADER JOE'S IN ATLANTA.
That alone is worth the trip.
I was going to keep recommending food stuffs, but now I need to plan a trip to Atlanta.

No one has checked on me this morning

I think everyone forgot I work here. Whatever. As long as I get paid.
I decided to do a round-up of sites I actually read/use regularly.
I am planning a trip to gorgeous San Francisco and my favorite flight finding tools are SideStep and Farecast. SideStep is kind of like Travelocity or one of those sites in that it compares flight prices, but it compares them between the airlines and the discount sites so you get a more full picture of what is available. It is also nice looking and easy to use. Farecast is a neat little tool that predicts whether ticket prices are going to go up down or not change. So far, I have found it to be pretty accurate. It only works on major airports right now, but for a Tampa to San Francisco flight, it works fine and is very accurate.
I also like to read this blog. I think the rampant stealing of intellectual property on the internet poses an interesting issue. I generally agree with what the people on this site say. They are pretty levelheaded.
A friend of mine sent over this article about sex play on the internet.
I also thought I'd link to these oft-linked to items from Forbes. It is a list of inventions they wish would be invented . Some are dumb, some are really cool. But the whole plausibility thing is the most interesting.
I found this place which seemed really cool and fun. It makes me wish I had a more creative job. I mean, I use work time to be creative. Sometimes I write stories, plus my incessant blogging. Though I also use work time for the much less productive social networking aspect.
Speaking of that. I got a Virb account. My name on there is, of course, SylvieBean. I encourage everyone to get one before it gets all crowded and ugly like myspace.

I was going to update

But fuck it. It is a holiday. I am spend the day watching the 5th season of Scrubs.

Be back tomorrow.

Oh Fucky Fuck

I have been so bad this week. It isn't even like I have been busy.
People need to worry less about friendships. If you want something, ask. If you want to know something, ask. If you are busy, say so. If you neglected someone for awhile, apologize. Everyone needs to stop being a baby all the time.
CLOTHES:


I'm always looking for cute dresses for work and this one would be perfect if I had a little something to go over it.
And if you're in Chicago, I have heard good things about this place.
The pictures are stolen from my favorite French fashion boutique which I am sure I mentioned before. But look at that top! Look how cute it is. I would look so cute in it. And the skirt is adorable. But that top is perfect.

Ted Leo - 'A Bottle of Buckie'

Since I talked about how good he is live, I thought it only fair that I share. I am tired today and don't feel like looking for things. I think tomorrow will be a clothes day though.

It took awhile to get this shit to work: Music

So, as you can see, YouTube and I are friends again, but I am still a little pissed that it took 8 hours to post my video. But yeah.
Now this isn't the place for personal information, I have somewhere else for that, but I wanted to start of the music post with a story:
One day, many years ago, when The Unicorns were still a band, I went to see them in Tampa. While waiting in line outside the venue, I saw Alden and the roadie, Max, outside the club. I walked up and introduced myself and they invited me and my friends to dinner. It was awesome for a little while, then it sucked when we realized that Alden was the biggest fucking prick in the world. (Jaime and Max were nice). So whatever, dinner sucked. The show was awesome. We danced and it was cool. So we get them to sign some shit for us (and Neil was a cool guy. He didn't go to dinner so we met him after the show). We help them out a little getting their stuff out of the club and then just as we are leaving, Alden asks if I want to blow off my friends and come back to his hotel room. I said no. Why, you ask? a) I don't sleep with strangers, b) he was really sweaty, and c) I was at the show with my boyfriend. I know one of the girls I went with is friends with someone who did actually sleep with him in Miami, so it is nice to know I was one of the many girls he propositioned.
Ok. Whatever. That story is funnier/cooler in my head.
So, I hadn't been on Pitchfork in awhile and missed a lot of news. Here it is in handy list form:
1) Neko Case and Rufus Wainwright are going to touring together. I am a huge Rufus Wainwright (and Louden) fan. But I know not everyone gets into his brand of fag rock (like folk rock, but gayer, in a good way).
2) This is actually more about a book, but my celebrity writer crush (after Sarah Vowell), Dave Eggers has Sufjan Stevens (my music super crush) writing the intro to the latest in the Non-Required Reading series. I have all of them and they have gotten progressively less good, so maybe this year they'll step it up and it'll be mind-blowingly good again.
3) Ted Leo is touring more. I seriously recommend seeing him. His music is not only outstanding, but he is clever and funny and a lot of fun to watch.
4) The Austin City Limits music festival is supposed to be the best there is and Texas is a really fucking sexy state. I would love to go, but I won't. You certainly should though.
There is a lot of sexiness in this post. Even the things not intended to be sexy were a little sexy.
