Tavo Carbone picked up this recipe while on tour through the east coast. It's the kind of meal that spiky-haired reality show professional eaters would love to wrap their bloated faces around - smiling, gurgling, vomiting up soundbites like "Now that's a DAMNburger." This hamburger's delicious flavor works in direct relation with its artery-clogging grease.
Tavo usually plays with his band, Horse's Mouth, but for this episode he's playing alone. The song will be featured on the band's upcoming album, tentatively entitled Under the Moon.
Just in time for Thanksgiving, Ty Flowers and Mark Waksman of the Brooklyn-based band Tan Man prepare a meal and traditional Wampanoag beverage in honor of the pilgrims' first harvest in America. Prego. The band is joined by Phil Nicolazzo on bass.
Here are some select demos from their upcoming demo folder on Ty Flowers' desktop:
Dropson is a band that operates out of Vermont and Brooklyn composed of guitarist JJ Beck and jovial wood sprite Trevor Wilson. As solo musicians, both have traditionally made music using mainly piano to compose, so the current guitar-and-voice-only configuration is a departure from the usual for everyone involved. The following track is from a 2009 live recording of Beck's piano compositions:
JJ Beck - Procession Piece
From Trevor Wilson's 2008 release Plants and Bodies:
Trevor Wilson - Little Princess
Here, the band prepares a hearty, garlicky chicken with vegetables at their Brooklyn apartment and performs the song "Rise" from their upcoming debut album.
