“In This City” is one of the most enticing tracks on Enon’s High Society . Featuring chugging percussion and spacey synths that flow smoothly beneath vocalist Toko Yasuda’s sensual singing, it marked a significant change in Enon’s musical direction from the darker, weirder Believo! . The video takes place in a futuristic, overly crowded city that most likely represents Tokyo run amok…read more
Enon may be one of the most underrated bands of the past decade. Their 2000 debut, Believo! , was weird, unpredictable and smart. The official follow-up in 2002, High Society , although still unpredictable, saw the band reinvented with a new lineup and songs that ranged from garage rock to synth pop. This Single Serving is a rare recording of their cover of…read more
Happy New Year from Musical Pairings! We hope you’ve enjoyed following eating/sf and Musical Pairings through 2009 (Musical Pairings very first year in existence). 2009 was a good year for us, but we’re hoping 2010 will be even better: for you and for us. We’re taking the day off, but I wanted to leave you with this video for this Death Cab…read more
You may remember Chiddy Bang from the Musical Pairings ” Best Free Mixtapes of 2009 ” list, a number of Musical Pairings’ previous monthly mixtapes, and as a Single Serving post way back in November. They are a college hip hop duo (Chidera Anamege and Xaphoon Jones) that hail from Philly. Well, they are back with an awesome video for their…read more
The word vanilla is sometimes used to refer to something in its simplest form, to suggest something is bland, and/or something is without frills or kink. But there is nothing bland or simple about the vanilla bean ice cream recipe Kasey is sharing over on eating/sf today. Indeed, the use of quality ingredients such as pure vanilla bean…read more
I originally included this track on the Musical Pairings’ December mixtape, but that particular mixtape isn’t long for this world (mixtapes hog up a ton my storage space so I only host them for a limited time). Nonetheless, it is a pretty awesome track and I wanted to give you a second chance to check it out if you missed…read more
Welcome to the Musical Pairings @ eating/sf: february mix. This one features a lot of the music that I’ve been listening to since the first of the year – except that I left Spoon , Yeasayer and Sleigh Bells off (primarily since they have already been gracing these pages a lot in the past few weeks). I think there is a…read more
Kasey and I are in Ohio today and haven’t had a chance to do a regular post for today (Monday). So, instead I’m leaving you with this Matt & Kim video for “Lessons Learned.” Watch as Matt & Kim run naked through Times Square. It’s fun for the whole family. By the way, Musical Pairings now has its own…read more
Happy Holidays from Musical Pairings @ eating/sf! For us, like many others, the arrival of the winter holidays means spending some time traveling. At the time of posting, Kasey and I are in flight from San Francisco on our way to Ohio to celebrate Christmas with my family. And when I have to spend time traveling in a car…read more
Crookers finally released their long, long, long anticipated new ep “Tons of Friends.” The album is very good, although it represents a new direction for the duo from Italia. It represents a move away from their past work in Electro House into more of an Indie Dance genre. Expect this album to be very popular everywhere, not just…read more
