Music

I'm obsessed with music and noise. I always want noise, and I usually want it to be stimulating music. I'm obsessed with Hip Hop, but have been trying to get outside my little box to discover greatness in other genres. I recently went on a couple CD buying binges, which was really awesome because I was able to support artists I appreciate and also enjoy really great music. The downside is that it cost me a lot of money and I bought some CDs that I hadn't listened to, and honestly don't really need or love. Anyway, in an effort to sadly curb my expensive habit, I have signed up for Rhapsody. This is wonderful because I can listen to almost anything I want; old and new, tride and true. There are a few discs that I wish I could have so I could listen when I don't have the internet and here I will be updating this list. It makes me feel better knowing what I want but cannot have. This is my virtual CD collection. :)

Top 5 CDs I would buy today if I had money:

Little Dragon - Machine Dreams (I listen to this everyday!)
Abstract Rude - Rejuvenation (New exposure)
Some Otha Ship

Janelle Monae - ArchAndroid (Comes out May 18)
Reflection Eternal - Revolutions Per Minute (Comes out May 18)

Other CDs I love listening to on Rhapsody and would also buy if I had money

Carrot and Ginger Soup

I've been wanting to make this soup since last winter, and I took some carrots from my parents house so I could finally make it! Right now, I'm getting ready to blend the soup. I've cooked spices, onions, ginger, serrano pepper, carrots, cilantro, and I think all that's left to add are the peppercorns that I have freshly dry roasted and ground that goes on for garnish.

I added yogurt and it curdled. I gotta figure out how to use yogurt without letting it curdle in soup or curry, aka. hot liquidy dishes. Do you have any tips?

Anyway, the soup is pretty delicious. Very rich, and spicily sweet! And it might be a good thing that I like the weird curdled yogurt.

Any questions?
