The 2010 James Beard Foundation Awards were just released, basically they're the Oscars of the professional cooking world. Oregon was well represented , with nine chefs and Higgins restaurant making the shortlist for chef (well in the Northwest) and restaurant of the year.

Yeah, I'm sneaking away from the TV-watching family to post some music for you, my dear readers! Holidays are a mellow affair by me... some chit chat, go to the movies, eat a bunch of food that's really bad for you, play with the dog. But there's NO MUSIC, aaack! So I'm getting my fix and giving you one too, xoxo These all came in my inbox in the past week or so: Yeah, this is just gorgeous and I regret that I couldn't get to it until now!

Next up will be the second ever performance from Saadi, the new solo project from Boshra al Saadi who previously brought us the bittersweet radio ga-ga thrills of Looker. With this new project, Boshra's agenda is decidedly less rockist but no less catchy, intelligent or complex. You'll hear rhythmically sophisticated, electronically flavored pop of the finest vintage.

Kelley Stoltz - Birmingham Eccentric * Rosie Thomas - Two Dollar Shoes * Benji Cossa - What's That Sound? Higgins - Yes I Know

Higgins is a band comprised of old pals who mine the fertile wells of the classic rock. The grooves are slow-burning and good-feeling. The playing is expert and soulful. There are layers of delicious melody tucked in every crevasse. Head Hig Kevin Fish writes the songs with an elegance and sophistication rarely encountered in our post-post-modern existence. You can trust in Higgins. Z's was crafted slowly at Serious Business Music recording studio in New York City during the span of November 2006 to June 2008, produced [...]

National Seashore hail from Brooklyn and are fronted by singer-songwriter John Biz , a talented young man with varying musical interests. I'm getting the feeling that Biz has a challenging time sitting still; which is good for you, I mean, us, as music fans.
