  12:41pm
Ike:

Also, that Sun Araw track blew my mind away. And I've never heard Vicki sing before. That was cool.

Marion Frenchie is right -- pasta and rice may rule most of December.

  12:52pm
Doug from DC:

I've been to Amsterdam Falafel, but it was around 2 or 3am and my memories of it are kind of vague. A friend and I are still looking for the best Falafel in DC. 24/7 isn't bad, and El Khartoum's is good too.

have you ever thought of joining your name into one name? hmmm, Lizberg, have you? it would be so Vienese! this would be your middle name, by which your biopic would be named. (that's what they call biography movies?) Alessandrealouisa Lizberg Muthrushesvaszstille.
"Lizberg: portrait of a genius"
you could play a Baroque period turntablist in the big booty dress like they wore. kiera knightly would play your best friend who is a way-before-her-time go-go dancer. have you seen wave twisters? you could have a victrola wristwatch!

dude, you could have a victrola wristwatch.
