Found in: Music, NewsSeventeen Songs By Which To Snack
Food and music are the two great loves of most people I know. Strangely, though, there seem to be very few songs written about food, perhaps because people are too busy eating it-- or, if you're Tina Fey, working it into the plotlines of your amazing and wonderful and hilarious television show-- to sing about it.

Let me add this to Kate’s Fleet Foxes write-up: Though they seemed more than a little overwhelmed by the immensity of the AMD stage (“We’re not used to communicating on this scale,” lead singer Robin Pecknold apologized) when the awkward banter finally dissolved into music, it was fantastic. “Ragged Wood” always gives me goosebumps—and even today, in the heat of the day, they rolled right up my sweaty legs. ... read more
