In Videos: Japanese Artist Makes Music With Crispbread
Crispbread is that flat Nordic rye cracker they serve to armies and school children because it's so cheap, lightweight, and lasts forever. It's also the latest in musical innovation according to Yoshi Akai, a Japanese guy who engineers electronic beats with the sheets of fibery crunch. Some of this Swedish news interview with him is in Swedish, but you don't need any language proficiency to watch the rotation of the vinyl-shaped cracker in action. Watch the video after the jump....Weird Food-Related Album Covers
Album covers looked so much cooler before CDs were invented. Or weirder. BizarreRecords.com aims to document the "strange & wonderful album covers" of the world in scientific categories such as Nordic Adventure and Teen Dance Party. There's no category for food, but check out some of my favorite food-related covers after the jump:...In Videos: Hummus Rap
Remy likes hummus. A lot. So much that he made a rap music video to illustrate the greatness of this "paste with some taste." Watch him rhyme while stuffing his face with hummus and pita bread after the jump. Preferably, you'd have a tub of hummus nearby....Denny’s All Nighter Campaign Appeals to Cool Emo Kids
Denny's All Nighter Denny's has been "feeding bands and music fans since 1953," but now they are hosting Warped Tour After Parties, running a music blog, adding "rock edge" and dimly lit ambiance to their restaurants late at night, and rolling out menu items designed by real rock stars. Music blog The Modern Age declares the Denny's All Nighter Menu, featuring dishes created by music groups, possibly "the greatest marketing idea of all time." Does anything sound more delicious, come a drunken and hungry nighttime, than Hearts on a Plate: heart-shaped pancakes covered in strawberry syrup and white chocolate chips, developed by Eagles of Death Metal’s Jesse Hughes? Or Taking Back Bacon Burger Fries: fries topped with all the...Top 10 Songs Using Sexually Suggestive Food Metaphors
This list puts Van Halen's "Pound Cake" at No. 1. I'll give them points for effort, but where the heck is R. Kelly's "In the Kitchen"? (Then again, with R. Kells, it often goes beyond simple metaphor.)...Online Quiz: Discontinued Ben & Jerry's Flavor or MySpace Band Name?
Here's a pop quiz from Mental Floss reminding us how much discontinued Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream flavors sound like MySpace band names. Or is it the other way around? Rumor has it Jerry himself only scored an eight out of ten on this tricky test. While "Apple Butter" might make a great autumnal flavor—mmm, cinnamon and roasted apple chunks—it's actually the name of an experimental rock group from Baton Rouge....Photo of the Day: Elvis Cutting Board
The colors may not jibe with your china, but this glass cutting board—heat-resistant up to 535ºF and dishwasher safe—salutes the King of Rock 'n' Roll in only the best way possible. With eggplant side burns. You know you've made it big in the music industry when kitchenware designers give you eggplant for hair. [via Yumsugar]...Take That, Rock 'n' Roll
Our own Serious Eats New York editor Zach Brooks of Midtown Lunch fame was chosen one of Rolling Stone's "10 People Who Escaped the Music Industry." Ever since he left his programming position at Sirius Satellite Radio, we've been fattening him up with chocolate-chip cookies and lobster....50 Cent Suing Taco Bell
Rapper 50 Cent doesn't like tacos enough to change his name to 79, 89, or 99 Cent. As part of Taco Bell's "Why Pay More?" campaign—where menu items stay under a buck—the fast food chain jokingly implied this in ads, but without his permission first. 50 Cent is now suing for $4 million....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
