Jonathan Gold, OG: LA Food Critic Digs Gangsta Rap
Pulitzer Prize–winning LA food critic Jonathan Gold (LA Weekly, Gourmet) reveals a love of gangsta rap during a guest DJ session on KCRW. Host Garth Trinidad asks Gold about the time he spent in the studio with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre while they recorded Doggystyle. ... LA hip-hop had all been like very fast. Like pop, pop, pop, pop. Stuff for the girl in the disco, and he was the guy who like slowed it down and made it gangsta. Chronic, I think, was the total breakthrough album. It crossed over to the bouncing cars to hanging out barbecuing in the park. It was less about bang, bang, bang, and it was more about "this is a neighborhood you...In Videos: Lego Beer Song
What is the malted liquor? What gets you drunker quicker? What comes in bottles or in cans? Beer! It's Friday, and you know what that means: It's time party like a bunch of drunk Lego men (and one chicken). This stop-motion video features the appropriately titled song "The Beer Song" by The Arrogant Worms. It's probably not what George Bizet had in mind for his music, but it's quite catchy. Watch the video after the jump....In Videos: 'Toy Food' Music Video
Neil Cicierega bought a box full of fake plastic food. So he wrote a song about it. And thus "Toy Food" was born, the catchy song with the informative chorus: "Toy food / Like real food, but is toy / Toy food / Not real food, do not eat." My next favorite line is "Milk / Peas / Gourd / Meat." Who knew the world of plastic food was so vast? Watch the video after the jump....'Chinese'
"You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea / And we'll get Chinese and watch TV" —Lily Allen, "Chinese" [We're listening to her new record at SEHQ right now.]...Chewing the Fat: Batali and Bourdain on Music

In this excerpt from The Johnny Cash Show, Waylon Jennings muses on an alternative career for his old buddy. If the whole chart-topping recording artist thing hadn't worked out, he could've been a chef. "He was my cook," Jennings tells the audience. "Can you imagine Johnny Cash in a black suit with bacon fat all the way down it and gravy in his hair?" This is not to say the Man in Black was a good cook, though Cash claims otherwise in the clip. Jennings often reminisced about Cash's cooking in interviews, noting that "his biscuits weren't that great but I loved when he cooked 'em cause he looked so damn funny with flour all over the place." The...Quote of the Day II: Movin' to the Country ...
"Most people don't realize that POTUS's 'Peaches' is not a weird novelty rock song; rather, it is actually a thinly veiled critique of the anti-locavore movement." —Helen Rosner, MenuPages Chicago...In Videos: Weird Al Yankovic's 'Eat It'
Yesterday was a real trip for anyone who remembers when MTV actually played music. The network launched mtvmusic.com, making available a gigantic web library of original music videos. Though many food-related favorites come to mind, it's hard not to recall Weird Al Yankovic's take on Michael Jackson's "Beat It." Don't you tell me you're full, just eat it/ Get yourself an egg and beat it/ If it's gettin' cold, reheat it/ Have some more chicken, have some more pie. It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried/ Just eat it The next time someone gives you sass about their food, borrow some of Weird Al's lines. Both videos, after the jump....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
