brooklyn gal for a while

jammin to the goodies and oldies

Earlier this week, TS whisked me to downtown bay ridge for a habatci feast at Arirang. There was much knife tossing and flying zucchini as well as dancing shrimps. This was all done to some lovely elevator-esque jazz jams. It was all background music to me until I recognized one tune. I couldnt believe this had been soft jazz-ified! It reminded me of waiting to check out at Giant and hearing Madonna's Like a Virgin playing out in synthesized clarinet. Anyway, the tune in question, playing to ours and 3 other tables* was The Way You Move, by Outkast. seriously. Outkast. is that when you know you've made it, or you know your over?

The tunes continued the next night as TS and TM accompanied Tegan Meyers for her second act at Shutters, for a cabiret show of sorts. It was all very old-school New York, with even a delicate lace shaw draped over the babygrand piano. My favorite song was (actually I'm not sure of the title, but I think its) Meadowlark. Of course all songs in which TS accompanied were fabulous! :)

*oddly, or perhaps not so oddly, as what else would bring people out in the freakin' freezing weather? there was a birthday at every other table there.
