Hi.
Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

All in music
Yes, two of them. First, the official mixtape feat. M.I.A and Diplo and everyone else that'll make your hipster glands swell to dangerously large proportions. Second, the official prequel mix for FACT Magazine: less names, no less fun.
If you don't know about Mr. Gambino, you're late. I mean, Wikipedia says he has 6 aliases already (Cheezy, Bambino X, Bam-B, Sir Durton Cloud 9, Ms. Long-Lady Stanhope, and Bambini). And that's not even counting his real name he usues as an actor, writer (for 30 Rock) and stand up comedian, Donald Glover.
House of Balloons is my favourite mixtape of 2011 so far. It's actually a free, complete, unmissable album.Can't deny that artwork, either. Even their website is on point.
I've spent the last three days in the woods with no WiFi, reading actual books (on paper) and looking at squirrels chasing past my window. If you ask me "How are you doing?", my answer is: "I'll be fine." And I mean it, too.
It's fun. It's got a great beat, a chorus that goes like 'ho-oh-oh-ooh-ooh" (a 'sample' of New Kid's On The Block "The Right Stuff") and it rhymes 'faux pas' and 'je ne sais quoi' with oom-pa-pa.
The new Radiohead is not the smack in the face "In Rainbows" or "Kid A" turned out to be. It's not a stadium-filler like "OK Computer", either. What is it then? I dunno. A soundtrack for a fast ballooning head? Static fom the empty space inside your heart? I'm just guessing here.
The Rye Rye gig in Belgium last summer was one of the best things I'd seen all year. Her much-delayed RYEot powRR Mixtape is finally out, announcing the debut album. Almost 90 minutes of full-on rattling, rumbling, eardrum-piercing club bangers.
Smokey Robinson's original "Cruising", transfered directly from vinyl.
It's Gucci Time! Mad Decent drops a second instalment of the Free Gucci Mix Project with nuttin' but British remixers and guest MC's. Some fingerfacetattoolicking' good stuff here. Buuurrrrand new!
Let's see what we can... *folds* Whoa! A genuine rainbow pyramid vinyl.
I've never heard of Kid Fresh before, but anyone who puts Slayer on a mixtape with Rihanna and Lil' Wayne and gets away with it is allright in my book.
Now that we're back from L.A. L.A. Land and almost fully decompressed, I'll start the new year by sharing some of the stuff I've picked up along the way. (Don't thank me yet. The list I've compiled so far includes a dead writer's collectibles and a psychedelic anthem about Chopin's wife dancing a jig...)
