A little Imogen Heap mixed with a little Feist. I think this was the very last track on Olivia Broadfield's album. It cuts at the end of Don't cry and then you get the hidden track.

Finally! The long awaited visit to The Oasis. The place is simply gorgeous! The front is villa-esque and the view from the back of the lake is just perfect. There are like a million different levels of patio/balcony so that they can maximize the amount of tables that can overlook the the lake. There are hundreds of colorful jumbo umbrellas scattered everywhere and they are all very much needed. Everyone wants to sit outside but nobody wants to be in the sun. The food is not cheap nor is it fair, but considering your scenery, it's not overly expensive. I thot the food was pretty good. Most people have told me that the food here is pretty sucky but I think everyone in our group liked what we ordered. I shared a chicken and beef sizzling fajita platter and two people ordered the tilapia with some sort of mango topping. All was good! And we had a good server who remembered everything, even the little minor substitutions.

Phil's Icehouse in Austin has some of the BEST burgers. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that they use sourdough buns. So gut! I was super craving it on the drive to Austin. We didn't get to go there that night but we went the next night. Actually, we called it in and picked it up so that the guys could watch the game at MyDoc's apt. Man, I'm craving it right now! Mmmm. Onion rings. Ranch. Grilled chicken burger. Yums! There's a whole slew of beef burgers to choose from. Lots of delicious decisions. I don't eat beef but I sorta want to as I read take a little gander at the menu. The place is sorta like a diner. There's a photo booth! I'm not a big fan of Amy's Ice-Cream but if you are, there's one right next door. The fotos below are pretty much crap. It was late, dark and the restaurant was technically already closed. We had to pick up our food at the window.
This Musik Mundi pick is from big poppa. He's been playing lots of stuff from The Airborne Toxic Event the last few days and has gotten me hooked on some of the songs. It's a great band that's made of musicians who play at least one instrument or more. There's a Chinese dude, Steven Chen who plays the guitar as well as the keyboards. How original, haha! Their music is different cos they incorporate string instruments along with your typical rock band instruments. They've got a violin and viola player as well as an upright bass player. The overall name of the band is kinda funky. Makes is sound hard but it's not even close. Mikel Jollett, the guy behind the formation of this band, is a writer of some sort and named the band after a section of the book White Noise. I think my favo track so far is Sometime Around Midnight. I love the guitar in this song, esp at the end.
Mikel Jollett: vocals, guitar
