Boozed Up Milkshakes at BLD!! How Come No One Told Me About This?
I mean seriously. On November 22nd they’re making “caramel milkshake with Sauza tequila or Don Julio; chocolate oatmeal stout with Jack Daniels or Makers Mark; banana hazelnut with Frangelico; Spanish latte with Grand Marnier; and a raspberry-clementine float with Fris Vodka or Grey Goose Orange.”
Sign me up for either the caramel or the banana hazelnut please.

Belle & Sebastian - This Is Just A Modern Rock Song
Belle & Sebastian are one of the few bands of the last 15 years or so to not only regularly release EPs but to also have them be some of their best work. Even if they’d never released Tigermilk, If You’re Feeling Sinister, or any other album the band deserves to be legendary on the basis of the EPs for Lazy Line Painter Jane, This Is Just A Modern Rock Song, I’m Waking Up To Us, and Books which probably contain 4 of my favorite Belle & Sebastian songs of all time.

Keeping with the theory that the future is trying to sabotage the Large Hadron Collider I have to assume that either the bird or the baguette are time travelers.

Hawaiian Bread Cinnamon French Toast Stick - 3 for $2.50
Next to the French Toast I’ve had at Square One, this is some of the best French Toast I’ve had in recent memory. This weekend I went to Larchmont Bungalow and had the Strawberry French Toast and this blew it away, and was WAY less expensive. The sticks are seasoned perfectly giving you just the right amount of sweetness. They have a little bit of a crunch but the inside is light and soft. Plus I didn’t really mind since I was getting my cinnamon french toast in stick form. If I ever run into the Buttermilk Truck when I’m drunk I’ll probably run the damn thing down in a desperate attempt to stuff my face with these.

Buttermilk Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich - $3.50
Side of Rosemary Garlic Hash Browns an extra $0.50
The only downside to this was how small the sandwich was, but other than that it was delicious. The biscuit was excellent, and if it wasn’t part of the sandwich I’m sure I could easily eat five biscuits on their own. The applewood smoked bacon was cooked to perfection and the egg was fried just the way I like it by being slightly runny. And those hash browns, wow. I’m not sure if I’ve ever had rosemary garlic hash browns before but now I want them all the time. Sorry all other hash browns, you guys suck.

I ran into the Buttermilk Truck doing a surprise test run at the Miracle Mile today. I had inteneded to hit up one of the BBQ trucks but the chance to try the Buttermilk Truck a week before they officially start won out.
Let me tell you, I don’t regret my decision. Next to Kogi, this might be my favorite of the Foodie Trucks that have been hitting the L.A. streets. (Has anyone called them Foodie Trucks yet, because I feel like it’s a more apt name than just food truck. If not I call dibs on the copyright for that.) The portions are a tad on the small side, but the prices are on the cheap side so everything evens out. The next posts are pictures of what I had but next time I’m there I plan on trying the Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Pancake Bites. Let me repeat that, they have Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Pancake Bites.

Yeasayer - Ambling Alp
Watch out Yeasayer, your new song is quickly becoming one of my favorites of 2009. Now hopefully your new album is just as good, unlike the last one which had two amazing songs and 9 songs which made me go “eh.”

Jack White's Third Man Records to release single featuring a guest appearance from physicist Stephen Hawking - NME.COM
So I guess Stephen Hawking is the next big cameo to appear on various people’s records. I hear he’s singing the hook on the new Jay-Z b-side. It’s called a “Brief History of Rhymes.”

Hotel in outer space to Open in 2012 | GOOD
Well now I know my next vacation destination. The Space Hotel! Better start saving up now, since I’ll need a cool $4.4 MIllion to check this place out.
“The space pod will circumnavigate the Earth every 80 minutes, giving guests a chance to watch the sun rise 15 times a day.
Weightless space tourists will also “wear Velcro suits so they can crawl around their pod rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman,” said Reuters.”

Skeeter Davis - The End Of The World
This song brought a chilling conclusion to last night’s excellent episode of Mad Men. If you haven’t seen it yet do your self a favor and watch it ASAP. I’d say more but I don’t really want to spoil anything for those that haven’t watched.
