Broken Social Scene

How I love you. New album is out: Forgiveness Rock Record.

I've also been listening to a lot of their earlier stuff recently. Even found a concert poster from their February 2009 show that, when I met Wade, he had an extra ticket to. He also happened to have a crush on me at the time, score! Either way, find out more about Mike King Crash, a local Portland artist who does a lot of concert poster design. Sophie bought us a fabulous Yeah Yeah Yeahs poster of his for Christmas.



For your listening pleasure: Looks just like the Sun.

Street Art

Art fills the VOID!

Khao Man Gai's Food Cart on SW 10th and Stark - a taste to behold. The Taiwanese lady who started the cart was brilliant to focus on one simple meal; what they do best: chicken, rice, and soup. As you can read here, Khao means rice in Thai. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. And the sauce! Oh, the sauce.

A giant Dungeoness Crab swaying it's legs above the infamous Jake's Seafood. Although people knock on the food for not being to Portland quality standards, I had a lovely meal there once with momma, Hannah, and Clare - enjoyed the fish immensely. Should probably look into whether or not it's local Oregon fish. In my line of work, I could know these kinds of things...

I would define neighborhood agreements to be a definite form of street art. Although, I must criticize, this was taken at the Plaid Pantry and 28th and Burnside, mere blocks from my house, and nobody ever asked me...

Love this sign. Around the corner from my house, makes me giggle.
