My new favorite Filipino restaurant in town (and one of the best, period): Paolo Dungca’s Kayu; everything was delicious, and, if not exactly authentic, inventive and generous

I love that the tea drink is called the Arnold Falmer

Hot chicken bao bun on pandan bun, an appetizer that’s enough for a meal and reminds me of Paolo’s brief fried chicken item at Pogiboy

I’ve been griping about the DC coverage but I love this Mudhoney anecdote. Though I wonder how true it is.

In Kansas City they played a show at a YMCA
for perhaps twenty-five people, then went to a party some hardcore kids were throwing down the street. The band arrived to find a basement full of skinheads who had wrapped themselves in big cardboard boxes and were happily bashing each other around the room. "People were inventing their own scenes because there was nothing else going on," says Turner, adding that by the time of their next U.S. tour, regional variations in things like slam dancing had gotten erased by MTV. "It went from each town having its own little story to it being kind of the same group of people in every town."

Human League closed with the theme to this, and last night I thought it lifted the curse of “Being Boiled.” But this 1984 film turned out to be incredibly prescient, and predicted the hell we live in today.

the best seafood restaurant in the Philippines in 1991 may have been a pumpboat operating from a remote island that gps finds unnavigable

Kinilaw: A Philippine Cuisine of Freshness. By Edilberto Alegre and Doreen Fernandez

Another time, we witnessed the harvesting of Sagay mayor Alfredo Marañon's sea ranch project at Molocaboc island.
When a diver surfaced with abalone, manlot, sea cucumber, saang, santugo, and sea urchin, each one received fast and individual treatment. The molluscs were simply opened and offered, glistening in their juice, with a dip of vinegar, ginger juice, crushed sili, a spot of soy, and a dash of sugar. The sea cucumber was split open, and only the tender stomach, sunlotan, served. The sea urchin was cracked open, and the velvety coral sipped, just as it was, in its primal perfection.
The fluted giant clam, Enting explained, has three textures: the chewy black mantle, the fat soft center like an oyster supreme, and the muscle, which is the best— white and crisp as a pear. He served all three in the clam shell - on one side pristine, on the other flavored with its own bile, and thus with a subtly exciting bitterness. Eating it was tasting the fresh sea, interpreted in textures.
All this was done in the stern
of a pumpboat, with an economy and ease of motion, and a wordless wisdom. Organic matter returned to the sea; man-made waste (paper and plastic) went into a bag. Enting explains that some fish, like bangus and tangigue, "cook" too fast in pure vinegar, which can be tempered with sugar, salted egg or gata.
Vinegar too mild can be made more tart with paho or green sineguelas.
Fish with more lansa, like lapu-lapu, need kalamansi. Live fish do not even need vinegar, and his personal favorite is tabagak fresh out of the sea, stripped off the bone, dipped in the sea for cleaning and salting, and eaten as nature made it.
"Anything fresh can become kinilaw," he says. Just as an artist can take any note, and from it spin a symphony. DGF

In Richie Unterberger’s new Velvet Underground book, Pickwick producer Bob Ragona describes a session for a General Electric record-and-slides release where Lou Reed sang with a fife and drum on “When Johnny Comes Marching Home.” It wasn’t hard to find a match on eBay. But do you hear Lou in this?
