We ventured out to the 5th Ave Apple Store on Wednesday to give away an iphone waiting line survival kit which included a water bottle, deodorant, toilet paper, small towels, listerine strips, evian misters, sunblock, and aspirin.

b/c everyone was such a good sport, we gave them enough to share. This is in addition to the lemonade (with lemon wedges!) and cookies we brought for everyone.

in 2007 the world will finally catch up to my love of soca music.

Despite all of the Kingston iconography in the music video, M.I.A's Boyz has Trinidad and Tobago all over it.

(via Hi-Res via migurski via randomwalks/dj)

Or maybe I'm listening too much into it. As many of you know, I've been a huge fan of soca music for years now. The music is cheap, disposable, and unapologetically infectious.

All of the decent LPFM radio stations out here in deepest darkest Brooklyn are the ones that play soca and calypso. And it all sounds like this, only louder and faster.

'Boyz' sounds like it could well be the, um, 'Galang' of 2007 which could push people to discover the wonders of T&T. Perhaps. Here's hoping that this is the summer that the rest of the world catches the soca train.

for those who need to release some post-sopranos angst.

I was traveling Monday and forgot that I had wanted to link this after the Soprano finale.

Go to Pixelodeon. Tricia and Anne and Henry and Joe and Ellie and I curated a short but randomly sweet screening track (big up Rick Rey for doing all of the heavy lifting for us, btw.) that's running Saturday afternoon. I'll be there with Tricia and the Metcalfs (and maybe a couple of things to give away.)

See you in LA.
