When I like something a lot, I tend to become a little over-consumptive. I threw this together a couple weeks ago for breakfast when I woke up craving Italian. Now I eat it almost every day after work.. figured it was worth documenting. Healthy snack too.

theGOVERNMENT HOOKER

The wait is finally over for Gaga's sophomore album (not including The Fame Monster extension). Too early to pick favorites, I like this one a lot, but the whole album's great. I love that she decided to incorporate more rock influence with her unique dance style, instead of following the bubbly/cheap-ass/generic/candypop that's blasting on every radio station right now. It's a fun album and a different take on popular pop music. I heard she managed to crash the Amazon site on the first day of release, but I believe it's up and running again now.

HANNA

so i may have a new favorite action movie. it took me a while to get out and see this film, but it is awesome. really cool cinematography and even better soundtrack by the chemical brothers. cate blanchett's faux-american accent was annoying in parts, but other than that it was great. go see

fleet foxes, helplessness blues

love this song. their entire new album's great. despite the peculiar waste of beverage at the end of it, the video's not bad either.

Kurt\VILE

this fellow's music is quite less obtrusive than his surname might allude. one of my favorite artists right now, and his full album is well worth the purchase. enjoy

VACATIONER:trip

both song and video are great. http://www.vacationermusic.com

it's beginning to look like SPRING

my four yr old sister. she doesn't seem quite as pleased with the melted one

True to Utah form, the weather the past month has bounced to-and-fro. From snow to sun. And back and forth. And back and forth. And back and forth.
Hopefully the sun's here to hang out for a sec this time.

lykke li: GET SOME!

This is my favorite album at the moment. Came out at the beginning of March, but she's an amazing talent and the whole record's top notch. Get some by clicking ablum artwork:

VEGAS +gaga

 

  K so, I haven't been in much of a blogging mood lately, but here's the report on my trip about two weeks ago to Vegas to see the Lady herself.  I have to say it was probably the best trip I've ever been on.  Not only because we saw Gaga, but because an extremely generous, well-connected, and wealthy friend paid for essentially the entire trip! He got us a penthouse in the Rio, rented a private pool, and paid for limos to take us wherever we went. One of the nights, he also bought us dinner at an AMAZING restaurant called the Bayou, and later, a table at The Bank (a nightclub), which was another kickass night.  

Meeting Gaga was fun

Okay so unfortunately that was just a look-a-like; she was still nice. But the concert was greeat, as expected. I've never seen an artist get such a work-out in one performance before; I'm sure that's why she's so thin. Musically and visually inspiring. A+ googs. And thank you "rich friend" for such an incredible trip. May you be blessed.
