Some writers can’t tell a story. Their prose is beautiful; their characterizations and descriptions, dead on.
TASTE OF THE TOWN
Vimala’s Curryblossom Café
Vimala Rajendran grew up in Bombay, India, where she learned to cook from family, street vendors and friends.

BEER – this word evokes memories of places I’ve been, good times shared with friends (and strangers who became friends) and meals I’ve enjoyed.
Gimme Five! Matt Kalb of Le Weekend
Matt Kalb, Robert Biggers, and Bob Wall (aka the men of Le Weekend) know how to shake up pop sensibilities with experimental layers and enigmatic structures, but can their fearless lead singer/guitarist handle the gimme five treatment? See for yourself after the jump.
Download “Ballad of a Hungry Mother” from Phil Cook and His Feat‘s new record Hungry Mother Blues out now on Trekky Records.
Freemail: Nightlands – Covers
Download Covers, the new digital release from Philadephia, PA’s Nightlands. The single features two tracks, a version of Lindsey Buckingham’s 1981 hit “Trouble” and Scott Walker’s “Big Louise.”
In 2005, Alanna Meltzer-Holderfield and Eddie Garcia joined forces under the irreverent moniker Jews and Catholics to create guitar shredding, bass thumping, furiously psychedelic rock music. It’s been six years since their first gig and in that time they’ve released a record, traded a drum machine for an actual drummer (Tyler Reeder), and melted a few faces.
So sure these guys know how to rock, but can Alanna and Eddie handle our little five question hazing? See for yourself after the jump.
When not busy playing bass in Birds of Avalon, David Mueller’s been nurturing his own solo project, Heads on Sticks. The band’s musical abandon into experimental fields of rhythmic frenzy and energetic melodies have already garnered them some due attention (notably a spot at the upcoming Hopscotch Fest).
All that potential is well and fine, but it’s no guarantee Mueller can handle the Gimme Five treatment. Will he survive? Find out after the jump.
