Fall Jams

Another song that screams fall to me. Probably because I first heard the album on a late September evening, many years ago. I was at a friends house (thanks Sara!) and had been listening to Funeral (Arcade Fire) for the entire summer. I was on my bike, gearing up for a late night ride around lake of the isles and needed something else to throw in my discman. So my friend gave me an extra burned copy of Vespertine by Bjork. That day changed my life (maybe I'm being dramatic, but it really was the first time I listened to Bjork in depth and from a different perspective.)
Anyhow, I love this album, I love Bjork and her craziness and I hope you enjoy this little bit of awesome on a WINDY (seriously, it's crazy out there) day in Minneapolis, or where ever you may be.

Pedal Pub

Have any of you been on a pedal pub? DO you know what a pedal pub is? Well to begin with, it is a large mode of transportation that includes 10 "saddles" and set of pedals, and a bench all wrapped around a bar. (see picture below.) Most people rents these for events like birthdays, bachelor parties, you know. Well last week my friend turned 29 and rented one. Basically, you and a handful of friends get on one of these things (which has an employee sit as captain-steering and braking) and pedal from bar to bar. You can drink WHILE ON THE VEHICLE, making it a blast. However, you have to actually pedal in order to move, so it takes some getting used to.

Anyhow, we hit up a handful of nordeast bars and had a blast. in fact, I had so much fun that I lost my wallet on my bike ride home that night :( total rookie move-had my wallet in my back pocket while riding. never again. Anyhow, I've spent the last few days replacing things and canceling cards and the likes. It makes me want to make sure that my wallet is WAY simplified this time around. I hate that there were numbers and such in there that I will never see again. Is there anything worse that losing a wallet? I questioned whether or not losing my phone would have made me more sad. I think my wallet wins.

On that note, try a pedal pub, don't ever have your wallet in your back pocket while riding a bike, and sometimes important stuff should stay on your night stand.
Happy Tuesday everyone.

something for the FALL!

I love this song. it is one of my favorite songs to listen to when the seasons start changing. I hope you enjoy it.  Happy Fall!
