Foodspotting
So if Foursquare is the new Facebook, then Foodspotting must be the new Race Around The World for foodies. Foodspotting strips away the jargon of restaurant reviews and serves you up a photo of the best dishes from around the world, from the actual person eating it.
“Randy F” (from Palo Alto, CA), the top Foodseeker, has posted 1837 food sightings, has 192 followers, and I do believe has tasted every food on our fair earth. But Randy, have you ever tasted the sweet potato fries at Burger Urge in Fortitude Valley, Australia? You may be 1835 sightings ahead of me, but sweet potato fries are my turf, super foodie! (I’m now going to back away from Randy F’s foodseeking awesomness and plan my sweet potato domination on Foodspotting!) But if you’re in Lake Grove, NY, check out Bobby’s Burger Palace!

The detail involved in Miso’s work really needs to be seen to be believed. I saw some of her latest work which involves hand-cut and pin pricked images of animals and cityscapes, and literally sat in awe at the beauty and was totally perplexed at the time and patience it would have taken to create these pieces. Often using white on white, or black on white, it re-iterated to me that sometimes in a world full of colour, there is a still a place for just white. Read more

We invited Greg Gillis, aka Girl Talk, who aside from being the DJ of the moment is also the remix whiz behind tracks from Beck, Tokyo Police Club, and Grizzly Bear, to give us a rundown on the songs he’s wearing out right now for our sister site, My Secret Playlist. He started off by propping Beyonce’s anthemic single, Single Ladies [listen below]. Go figure! ‘This is one of my favorite Beyonce tracks ever. It has so much energy, and the chorus gets dark in a great way. The clapping never stops. The video is a flawless execution of a performance style clip. It’s perfect’. Read the rest of Girl Talk’s Secret Playlist.

Austin-based Future Clouds and Radar, the eclectic art-pop ensemble headed by Robert Harrison, has recently released its sophomore recording, Peoria. Where their self-titled debut album showed Harrison as the central figure in a large musical cast, Future Clouds and Radar’s latest offering finds the core band focusing their kaleidoscopic vision into a single cinematic narrative about the illusory nature of mortality. Throughout, Harrison stays true to his genre-hopping eclecticism, leading the journey through a maze of fuzz-box vocals and ethereal keys.
