Check out this short video of Chef Chris Cosentino who recently created a menu based on Ben Harper’s song “Number With No Name.” Wicked cool stuff.
It’s no secret, I love and live for new music Tuesday. Today may be a monumental one as many well known artists put out highly anticipated albums.

But wait, there is so much more. Jessie J’s new album Who You Are, Panda Bear – Tomboy, Atmosphere – The Family Sign, Jason Isabel and The 400 Unit – Here We Rest, The Feelies – Here Before and k.d. Lang – k.d. Lang and The Siss Boom Bang: Sing It Loud are also out today.
Just released, check out the line-up for Outside Lands Festival August 12-14 in San Francisco. Should be an incredible three days with Phish, Muse and Arcade Fire headlining. Throw in The Black Keys, Deadmau5, The Roots, Foster The People, The Decemberists, Girl Talk, MGMT, Beirut, Arctict Monkeys, STS9, Warren Haynes, Big Boi, The Original Meters, Major Lazer, !!!, Joy Formidable, Toro Y Moi, The Original Meters and a whole lot more, you have yourselves a pretty sick group of musicians.
Marina and the Diamonds were the latest to take their act to Book & Stage in Las Vegas. Here are some images I snapped from the show on April 8. Not exactly the best photos I’ve ever taken but it was a little tough to capture Marina as she was a ball of energy jumping around nonstop. Besides having what seemed to be an unlimited tank of energy, she has an incredible voice and is a heck of a performer. If you have the chance to see her live, don’t miss it.
