Because I missed it, all right?
Magnetic Fields
New album in January! It's called "Distortion."
In the meantime, enjoy this video of Magnetic Fields frontman and legendarily difficult interview subject Stephin Merritt on Atlanta local morning television!
Taco trailer!
El Torito supermarket's taco trailer is back!
Totally underrecognized Thai restaurant Midland Wok has moved from Midland to the old Tomatillo location on Olive Blvd. in my burg of Olivette and changed its name to Land of Smile.

Well, there goes one more reason to make eastward field trips...
On the other hand, I still need to make this particular field trip.
Radio Campus Paris
The audio quality isn't quite as good (96kpbs versus 128), but I think I found a French online radio station that I even like better than Nouvelle Scene. The station Radio Campus Paris features more in the way of funk, hip-hop, and electronic music, along with a healthy sprinkling of indie rock, and is apparently run by college students. My only gripe: they need to update the little now playing box - it hasn't been changed since June, and I have no idea who I'm listening to most of the time.
