“I used to spend five hours in a record store looking for albums. Now everything’s online. But I can’t find artisanal sausage online and eat it right away. Maybe food markets are the vintage record shops of 2012. There’s something attractive about finding something no one else has, but then sharing it. I was sending text messages to all my friends in the neighborhood to come out. With a record, you’d keep it for yourself.”

A little Jack White with your burger?:

What’s playing over the speakers is as vital as the menu, so restaurants are turning to ‘music sommeliers’ to create playlists to eat by.

“The chefs are the new rock stars, there is no question about it. My grandfather was a chef and, believe me, he was poor. He didn’t have a brand-new car or was living in a big old house like Mario, Emeril and the boys. They have become superstars and people like watching their every move. And I’m one of them. I’m a fan and I own restaurants, so I see both sides of it.”

It’s a sad day for the Phoenix/Media Communications Group. And Boston. And fans of independent media & music. Read the full story at ThePhoenix.com.

This is so sad. This is where I got my start in radio, and the interwebs for that matter, first as an intern then as an on air jock, online marketing manager, and host of the new music show.

It’s like McDonald’s buying Apple Pan.

butchwalker:

Do you like the vocal stylings of Daryl Hall? Do you like paella? How about some red wine? Oh… I forgot.. Do you like to jam? If your name is Butch Walker, then HELL YES. sign me up for that. You can catch me doing the entire list of those things with Daryl on an episode of Live From Daryl’s House at http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com/

Eat your heart out, cheerleader girlfriend in elementary school that broke up with me after she gave me her vinyl single of “Kiss On My List”….

How the hell did we not know that Daryl Hall has a show where he cooks, eats, and jams out with a guest every week!?!
