Check out Jersey City by The Frequency. Electronic funk with a smooth groove and a chill vibe. The tune Fade is also quite good. I'll be buying this album, soon. I picked them up from the ropeadope web page in their little blurb announcing an all-digital music label. Pretty cool. Nice to see a label really taking advantage of what the 'net can offer as a delivery medium. And even though it's only July, NPR is dishing out the best songs of 2006 (so far).

Had my first official San Franciscan BBQ yesterday. I've BBQed here in SF before, but never at my own place, with my own grill. It was always off out of the city, camping, or on a friend's deck, but never one all my own. Well, my own and 35 of our friends. The yard and grill all performed splendidly. Now, I could go and find a bunch of links about bbqs, meat, and other associated topics, but luckily, someone did that for me. Good stuff there, check it out! I especially liked the Table of Condiments that Periodically Go Bad. And the meathats, of course.

There's plenty for you to play with and find deeper in those pages, so I'll let you delve as you listen to NPR's show. You did turn it on, didn't you? That's what it's there for! For listening! So go, listen, surf and be well.
