Wasted Continuum

• At work. Thinking about lunch. #
• Testing my phone set up. This is a huge waste of time, huh? #
• Lunching at Caribou… #
• Back at work. Finishing my cappuccino… #
• Listening to Sara Bareilles…I love her melodies! #
• Leaving work. Heading out to Tegan and Sara concert tonight at the Pantages. #

I checked out Golden Thyme Coffee Cafe last week. It’s the coffeehouse on Selby that hosts the Selby Avenue Jazz Festival. They have drinks named after famous jazz musicians. I had the Cab Calloway, which is their cappuccino. It was very flavorful. Not super strong, but the flavor was there. I also had a blueberry muffin. I was hoping they had some of their other pastries, but they were out. The walls are decked out with paintings of musicians. It reminded me of Muddy Paws Cheesecake over in Uptown. The cafe has a banquet room beside the main cafe area for various festivities. It’s a little bit more laid back. It’s definitely a place to check out.

Review of Golden Thyme Coffee Cafe

Holy moly. How did she get past me? I had Kimmel on as I’m trying to go to sleep. So Sara was the musical guest. She performed her single, Love Song. All I can say is that she has an amazing smooth voice. She also plays the piano. She’s like a Fiona Apple just happy. Not to say that Fiona sounds depressing. I love her, but she is on the lyrically heavy side. I’m going to check out her album, Little Voice How cool is that album name? And she’s even sporting an old school Airline radio on her cover art.

This may have been one of my weirder combination purchases in recent memory. I stopped by Target before coming home tonight to pickup Ratatouille on DVD. After that, I roamed around the music section to see what was out. That’s when I saw the new Jay Z album, American Gangster, was on sale. I had to get it. I’ve listened to the first seven tracks so far and I’ve got to say I’m liking it better than Kingdom Come right now. That’s now my final opinion or anything, but those tracks I heard so far sounds more like the Black Album, my favorite Jay Z album by far. I especially like Roc Boys (And The Winner Is)…. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of it.

How did this get by me? I must be losing it. Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, the Foo Fighter’s 7th album, was released last Tuesday and I did not even know about it. I’m watching The Pretender video right now. Sounds a little heavier than they have been lately. I like it. Pretty slick video. Dave Grohl is sporting his Gibson Firebird.

Note to self: Go buy the album.
