The Miracle Fruit?

The New York Times recently had an article about a miracle fruit, called Synsepalum dulcificum (Is that English?). Apparently, its more like a drug then a fruit, but who is stressing the details here... "The miracle fruit, Synsepalum dulcificum, is native to West Africa and has been known to Westerners since the 18th century. The cause of the reaction is a protein called miraculin, which binds with the taste buds and acts as a sweetness inducer when it comes in contact with acids, according to a scientist who has studied the fruit, Linda Bartoshuk at the University of Florida’s Center for Smell and Taste. Dr. Bartoshuk said she did not know of any dangers associated with eating miracle fruit" (NY Times). So what does it do you ask? Well one girl drank a Guinness with lemon sorbet dropped into the glass, and said it tasted like a chocolate shake. Another dropped Tabasco on her tongue and proclaimed it was glazed doughnut. Yum, love glazed doughnuts. Thats some crazy business right there. If anyone knows where to get their hands on one of these fruits, let me know. - Chris

Nice Jams

I have many a favorite artist but felt compelled to post these 2 videos of Curtis Mayfield and Queen (not performing together). Curtis, as you may know, was a talented musician, amazing man, passionate songwriter, freedom fighter who often wrote about the Vietnam War, addiction, oppression, subjugation.

Then there's Queen with Freddie Mercury...a very different band but Freddie was an artist cut from a similar cloth as Curtis - they were both outside the norm, both on the edge of something bigger than the worlds that they resided in (Curtis a black man speaking up against the U.S. government and Freddie a gay Indian man in the very masculine and white world of rock & roll). In this video Queen are playing at Wembley Stadium in front of over 120,000 people and, for the entire show, they have the audience in the palm of their collective Queen hand. I remember watching this concert as a kid (Queen was my mom's all time favorite band) and being in awe at the vastness of their sound, all those people packed into this gigantic stadium, the tone of Brian May's guitar, the power of Freddie's voice.

Both Curtis and Freddie are truly missed...hope you enjoy these videos...xo, melissa

Pyscho Killer?

Last Friday, June 27 I went to see Hot Hot Heat at the Roxy with local favorites The Shys (what up boys), and the Deadly Syndrome. They blasted through a grip of songs in the feverishly hot club. But what was really impressive was their cover of the Talking Heads "Pyscho Killer". It started out with the usual bass thumping part that seemed to last for days. But gradually everyone else staggered in until you recognized the tune. They were joined on stage by members of both the Shys and Deadly Syndrome beating on drums, banging on cymbals, singing along, and throwing the stage decorations into the crowd. The band brought new life to the chorus, and chaos back to the song. It had been a while since I'd heard the song, and it was stuck in my head for the next couple days. Well done my friends.
