Sounds ripped from cassettes & CDs found in immigrant-run mom & pop stores. Deconstructed icons. Field recordings. Sonic mayhem from the far corners of the internet.

Favoriting July 30, 2014: Beirut, Then + Now
Spend a rare evening in the City that Would Not Die with some of Lebanon's greatest musicians, from yesterday's trad tablahists and today's trip-hopping turntablists to forgotten divas like Siham Rifqi and the country's first singing stand-up comedienne, Ferial Karim.

Thanks. I had so many of those sun gold yellow cherry tomatoes that I had to roast some.I wound up with a quart and have been having them on toast with fresh mozzarella, melted under the broiler.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:47pm
Gary:

Extreme jealousy. We have a plant on our balcony, but I have forgotten how long it's been going, and there's still no tomatoes
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:48pm
Uncle Michael:

It occurs to me there was no weekly pic this last Saturday because I was in Chicago. I should have made a picture on Sunday before I picked what was ripe.

My first and only visit to Chicago was 2002. Right around this time of year, in fact. Enjoyed it and left me wanting more. Should fix that sometime soon. UM's drinking-based agenda seems like a sound one to follow.
