A word from MUD HEN TAVERN
MUD HEN TAVERN's food, drinks and inviting atmosphere offers an affordable dining experience for the area. Susan and Executive Chef and Partner Kajsa Alger will be preparing a wide variety of rustic dishes and bar food, with the occasional global inflections that these beloved chefs naturally
bring to the table. The bar team, led by Morgan Fox (Upstairs II, Pourtal Wine Bar), alongside mixology consultant Tricia Carr (formerly Alley), have curated a beverage program that offers a vibrant and accessible selection of international wines, local craft beers and artisanal cocktails that complement Mud Hen Tavern's cuisine. The refurbished space includes plenty of booths and communal tables, as well as an expanded bar with a draft beer system, all in the front room to allow patrons to easily walk in for drinks or dinner. The outdoor patio offers a more relaxing atmosphere for reservations, larger groups and private events.

Diner Reviews
This is a place to try for anyone
in the Los Angeles area! A gem!!!!"
Dined on 3/8/2014
This was my first visit to Mud Hen
Tavern and had visited this restaurant in its previous life known as Street. Loved both. The food was good but portions were on the smaller side, that's probably because I'm so accustomed to many LA restaurants providing large portions of food. The chicken and waffle croquettes were tasty and the bread pudding dessert was fantastic. The atmosphere and energy are great. The wait staff and management are super friendly."
Dined on 3/3/2014
We went here for dinner when we
had an unexpected night off. Service was great and attentive. Place was very busy and things were slow at times, but what made up for it was a warmth and personality from the environment and staff which most places in LA lack. The owner is clearly a part of daily operation and was walking around greeting guests and bussing tables which made it very clear where this energy came from. She is obviously grateful for the business, loves what she does, and this trickles down to her staff. It's a refreshing experience."
Dined on 2/27/2014
My wife and I loved Street, so we
were excited to try out Susan's new restaurant that replaced it - Mud Hen Tavern… and we were not disappointed in the least. Everything was delicious. We started with one of my old faves from Street that has been carried over, the Kaya Toast (coconut jam and soy sauce with a soft fried egg on toast - WOW). My favorite small plate was the tuna ceviche, which had a unique twist and exceptional flavors with the tangerine, chipotle, and toasted corn. The pierogi and corn dishes were also both fantastic, as were the fish & chips and the brisket. Drinks were also superb. Needless to say , we can't wait to go back soon and try some more dishes!!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
Finally a restaurant in my
neighborhood that is dedicated to those that may want to drink as much as they want to eat. This neighborhood has many great chefs battling it out for attention, but Mud Hen Tavern is clearly the winner if you are looking for a bar to get a drink. Excellent craft beer selection and top shelf friendly pours. So after dining heavy at Mozza, Trois Mec or Hatfield's you can walk it off by heading over to Mud Hen for desert, a night cap, or a few more beers with the locals."
Dined on 1/2/2014
We had reservations at 6:30pm and
arrived to find out they were probably going to be 30 minutes behind. I was pretty annoyed - the hostesses didn't seem to be on the ball at all. However, it ended up being for the best because we decided to eat at the bar. The bartenders, especially Sam, Diego and Jen, were all incredible. Great drinks, great attitudes and more than happy to take our dinner orders on top of drink orders. We are piggies, so we had the deviled eggs, meatballs, fries, croquettes, corn and bread pudding. Everything tasted incredible, came out fast and was hot. We will definitely be back."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Best item: Chicken & Waffle
Croquettes Lamb Meetballs were fine but common Greatest Disappointment: Kaya Toast...loved them at Street but the presentation changed and the toast was so hard it couldn't be cut Green Eggs & Ham had bacon bits so hard it almost broke our teath Brisket was good but we were in a bad mood by this point Finally the Cinnimon Roll Bread Pudding was simply aweful. It had to be been prepared incorrectly. It's impossible that it was supposed to take like pure alcohol"
Dined on 2/23/2014
The lamb meatballs were nestled in
a yogurt sauce with puddles of grease run-off. They lacked flavor we. The shaved kale and brussels sprouts tasted like boiled cabbage and looked like leftovers. The Californian Pizza did not appear to actually have blue cheese and lacked seasoning. The wild arugula topping was covered in olive oil. The whole pizza appeared to be drizzled in oil, on top of the oily residue of the cheese. We were very disappointed in our meal, and decided to call it quits before it took a turn for the worse."
Dined on 2/16/2014
I came here for Valentine's day
with my girlfriend and I don't regret a thing. The food was great and the waitress that attended us was super friendly. Since my girlfriend knew the chef, she came over to our table and even recommended me some things to eat since it was my first time there. She even sent over some oysters on the house. I loved the food and honestly would consider making it a regular place to go."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Aside from the wait (we had
reservations), customer service and food were both excellent. I had the Kaya Toast (of course!) and the Spicy Black Bean Burger while my husband had the Tuna Ceviche and Hangover Burger. All delicious! The woman who waited on us was very attentive, she checked on us every 10 minutes or something. Great customer service indeed. We went to Street at least twice a month and loved it. We miss all of the different types of food offering that Street's menu had. Mud Hen Tavern had a great food, but the menu is similar to any other restaurant in it's category. I'm not a drinker, but I'm sure their wide selection of alcohol is good also."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Loved Mud Hen Tavern. We were
there for Valentine's Day and had the special menu plus the Brussels sprout and kale dish mentioned often in these reviews (it is awesome). Kajsa and Susan have created delicious and surprising food. All the favors are tasty on their own but together, they sing. A mark of a great chef. Our servers made us feel welcome and cared for. It was great fun to see Kajsa and Susan walking through the restaurant and when we bought the "Street" cookbook our server asked if we would like it signed. Both Susan and Kajsa came to our table and spoke with us and sign our book. They were incredibly nice. So, great good, great atmosphere and I got to meet one of my favorite chefs. We'll be back."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I went to Mud Hen on Valentines
day and mostly selected from their V day menu, so I'm not sure how fair it is to review the food as their standard menu is probably their better dishes. I was not overly impressed with the food. Maybe I was hyped up on other people raving about it. Its good, don't get me wrong. I did have a really nice time, but for the price of the meal I was definitely underwhelmed. The ambience is great. The service is good. I would definitely go back but go for the more standard fair. Maybe I'll like it better. Overall too expensive for the food it delivers. If it was more moderately priced I'd be way more into it."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I just posted this on
yelp: Unbelievably bad. No silverware or water our first fifteen minutes there. Every item asked for: salt, pepper, ketchup never showed up. The Fried Chicken salad never arrived. When we asked where it was, not only did they not know, but they said, "oh, it's fried pork belly tonight." You'd think our waiter would've mentioned a change on the main ingredient... Chicken and waffle balls: deep fried dough having nothing to do with waffles drowned in maple sauce. You wouldn't want this at a fast food joint, much less here. Burger: so-so. Meat solid, overwhelmed by bun. Lemon dessert: Terrible presentation, and grainy, amateur lemon custard. Do they not know how to strain this for smoother consistency?"
Dined on 2/8/2014
Extremely limited selection is on
Happy Hour from a celebrity chef I expected more. It's literally fries, onion rings, a cheese pizza, ceviche and meatballs. It's a relatively new spot so the service it's very good as the wait staff learns the ropes. Our waitress spilled wine on our pizza and didn't offer to replace it. We had to ask for a replacement pizza to be brought to the table. Nice remodel of the former Street location but other than that I can't say i'll be back. Too bad. Check out Border Grill instead."
Dined on 2/4/2014
So disappointed. In a party of
five. Lots of food ordered. Lamb meatballs excellent-all else airplane fare. Wanted to love it, just a waste of money and time."
Dined on 2/3/2014
My husband and I LOVE eating at
mud hen tavern..the food is out of this world good"
Dined on 1/4/2014
Been here twice since re-concept
and I love it. I love the bold flavors, as they were at Street but this menu is even more approachable. The BEER list is fantastic. Love the perogis!"
Dined on 1/29/2014
Different food, but very good.
Reminded me of Europe and the special places hidden away. Great service and very friendly staff. Great stop before you go to the Pantages."
Dined on 1/28/2014
Really enjoyed dinner at Mud Hen
Tavern. Some favorites from when the spot was "Street" remain on the menu (including Kaya Toast), but there are many new treats that seem inspired by American comfort food. Everything we ordered was extremely tasty. Very attentive and friendly service."
Dined on 1/28/2014
The Kaya Toast is to DIE for. Very
nice atmosphere. Love the garden european feel of it."
Dined on 1/27/2014
Service was great. Ambience was
nice. Food was good. Out of the 4 dishes I tried, I would suggest two: the brussel sprouts and the harvest corn. The burger was not as good as I was expecting-there was a strange flavor on it that I couldn't place and didn't really like and the cinnamon bun bread pudding was not worth the calories, it was kinda dry and not amazing like it sounds."
Dined on 1/27/2014
This place was great! The food and
service were both top notch. From the moment I walked in the service was wonderful. The Hostess, bartenders, and the wait staff were all amazing, attentive, informative and just plain nice!"
Dined on 1/22/2014
I LOVED Susan's Feniger's latest
venture, Mud Hen Tavern. Really creative, innovative yet totally tasty dishes, flavorful, lots of small bite plates on the menu so you could sample alot. And the cocktails were great! Particularly loved the tostada, tuna ceviche, spinach and potato pierogi and the brussel sprouts and kale. Complete with a relaxed, fun atmosphere means I plan on coming back again and again. Go Susan!"
Dined on 1/23/2014
Ordered almost everything on the
menu. It was all great, tasty and inventive. Would go back ."
Dined on 1/26/2014
We were a party of 4 with
reservations at 6:45. Two of the party discovered this place during 2013 Dine LA and went back after the remodel. Both times were a great experience. The place is trendy, energitic, crowded and the service is impeccable - you can tell the staff is hand picked and trained very well. The food? Excellent, different, light and SO tasty. A must go, I know we will again."
Dined on 1/25/2014
I loved the ambience and warmth of
this new bar. Used to be STREET, now its a warm, inviting neighborhood tavern - fabulous food items, and a terrific menu! Especially the DineLA menu! I'm definitely going back, and I will refer to all our guests looking for a nice bar with good food!"
Dined on 1/21/2014
The food here is excellent and the
service is great. The restaurant is nice enough for a date night and relaxed enough for an everyday casual place to go. Susan Feniger is an amazing chef and a true genius if she came up with Kaya Toast. You have to try it! Lamb meatballs and Chicken and Waffle croquettes are home runs."
Dined on 1/21/2014
This is a gastronomical experience
that I could enjoy regularly. A couple of places as exquisite as this eatery that I have gone to have compromised portions for taste. Here you get delectable dishes that are healthy sized at decent prices!"
Dined on 1/20/2014
I loved this placed when it was
"Street," and love it more now. The space is, or seems, less crowded and the noise more manageable. The food remains just terrific. I hate both brussels sprouts and kale, but there is a dish with both here that is a reason in itself to come back. Food here is wonderfully flavorful, aromatic and imaginative without being weird, precious or over-the-top."
Dined on 1/20/2014
Such a great experience eating at
Susan's new Highland Avenue iteration, MUD HEN. I brought my parents here and they were floored by all aspects of the meal. Susan stopped by our table and had a chat with us and made my folks feel very special. Awesome night!"
Dined on 1/20/2014
We dropped by after reading some
reviews and had a nice time. There is a good vibe and the place is very comfy indoors and out. A variety of gastro pub food."
Dined on 1/19/2014
Excellent restaurant! We are vegan
and heard it was vegan friendly, and it definitely was! Our server was vegan as well, and made some great recommendations. Went with the parentals (who are not vegan) and they loved all of the food too! You must try the pierogis, corn, and tostadas. All excellent and we can't wait to return!"
Dined on 1/18/2014
We loved "Street" and ate there
often, sometimes 2x a week. So we really looked forward to dining at The Mud Hen Tavern last night. Sadly, it just didn't work. The new design is contemporary and more open. But if you're going to spend the money on the re-do, consider lowering the height of the bench seating on the patio. It's too high. And what's with the the tiny Sanbitter bottles for wine? I thought it looked silly and reminded me of Nik-L-Nips kids' drinks. The tomato soup is delicious, but last night it was served cold. And who eats soup with a teaspoon? The pierogis were soggy and bland. Shaved kale and brussels sprouts was the best course of the evening. (I never got the lamb meatballs I ordered, so I cannot comment)."
Dined on 1/19/2014
Food still excellent. Long live
Kaya Toast. Décor has improved. All seems fresh but still cozy and with a bright new bar. Tiny note: arriving early evening you valet in the back (to avoid the train on Highland) and exit out the front. Very considerate."
Dined on 1/13/2014
Really enjoyed the transformation
from Street to Mod Hen Tavern the food was fabulous service was excellent and we will come back again"
Dined on 1/10/2014
I had a wonderful time at Mud Hen.
The food and service were both outstanding, which seems to be a tough combination to find these days. Excellent cocktail, wine and beer selection and a nice variety of food choices. Definitely my kind of spot! I recommend the Roasted Black Cod. It was to die for. Will definitely be back!"
Dined on 1/8/2014
Some of the flavor profiles were
really lacking---which is odd because Street and Border Grill was/is so good! I'm sure you'll work out the kinks soon. But the service was very nice."
Dined on 1/8/2014
Burger was smallish, and not very
flavorful. However, the fixings were fresh and nice; tomatoes were ripe and beautiful."
Dined on 1/8/2014
The best dish was the tuna
ceviche, everything else was really salty"
Dined on 1/6/2014
I'd been to the restaurant when it
was "Street" and enjoyed it, so we were curious to try it again when it reopened as "Mud Hen Tavern." Three of us went there for dinner, and we all loved our food. A returning favorite is the shaved kale and brussell sprouts salad, and I had the most delicious short ribs. The menu is very interesting, with a decent beer and wine list. We shared a yummy chocolate dessert. The hostess and all the wait staff were friendly, funny and helpful. We had a great time!"

Best Albums of 2011
I've been thinking a lot about the list-making process. Someone recently asked me: What is the purpose of making a list? My initial reaction - because it's fun - is actually somewhat shallow. Is it really? Yeah, probably...somewhat...maybe? But if so, still: Why? In listening to me think out loud about this, my wife commented that she doesn't make lists for fun. Why, then? "To keep myself sane. To make sure I don't forget things I need to do."
In other words: To make order out of chaos. To provide structure to an unstructured world.
As humans we strive to impose order on that which has none. The world is big, random, and diverse. It would be cognitively overwhelming to even try to take it all in. So we put things into groups or genres or what-have-you, and then further lump them into sub-categories, and then start numbering them. It's a coping mechanism in the face of chaos. Otherwise we might go insane.
But I don't think that's the extent of it. Making these end-of-year lists IS fun. For those of us who write about culture (in any form), creating these lists is like trimming a tree, or whatever your own winter tradition entails. It's a conversation-starter and a community-builder. Seth Colter Walls of the Awl has a slightly different (okay, completely different) take, suggesting that lists bring people together in anger, not solidarity. He says a lot more than that, so of course I'm unfairly over-simplifying his article, but that's why you got the link above. While on the face of it, he's right - anyone reading this list is probably going to scoff that Fleet Foxes, My Morning Jacket, Wye Oak, and Destroyer aren't here. (I tried, I really did, but I just couldn't get into any of those albums.) And others might point out that there's no hip-hop, jazz, dubstep, or whatever your favorite genre to defend is. Yes, my list has a bunch of rock, country, and folk, along with their indie- and alt- varieties. That's what I like. And you're going to enjoy scoffing about it. Nobody really gets so worked up about these things that there's ever any real manifestation of "anger." You'll think I'm an idiot for neglecting Kaputt, and I'll smirk that you actually fell for the saxophone trend this year.
Anyway, here's a list of albums I liked in 2011:
30. The Middle East - I Want That You Are Always Happy
The Middle East first captured my attention with the easygoing "Land of the Bloody Unknown." The album's first few songs are rather unassuming in their quietude, but things really open up beginning with "As I Go To See Janey," the female/male vocals of "Jesus Came to My Birthday Party," and the aforementioned "Bloody Unknown." Other highlights included "Dan's Silverleaf" and "Hunger Song." Much of the remainder is fairly sparse, so your interest may vary depending on your appreciation for delicate folk arrangements. Either way, there was a lot of potential for this band, so it's a shame that they've already broken up.
The Middle East - Land of The Bloody Unknown
Tripper was a solid collection of tunes from Eric Johnson & Co. There's some weird and unusual stories being told if you spend the time to dig into the lyrics. I feel compelled to mention "WACS," which wasn't even included on the record (unless you bought it digitally through iTunes), as well as the fantastic music video for "You're Too Weird." But beyond that, I think my favorite was the organ-romp "Dolly."
It actually took me a while to get into Days, which is somewhat strange, considering that other reviewers tended to talk about it in terms like "sun-drenched," "accessible," "effortless," and the like. "It's Real" grabbed me pretty quickly, but the rest took a while. Eventually I discovered that there's a lot to love in its wistful end-of-summer sound, especially with songs like "Green Aisles" and "Out of Tune."
27. The Get Up Kids - There Are Rules
Aggressive and dark, There Are Rules was the Get Up Kids' triumphant reunion record (not counting last year's Simple Science EP). It's not emo, but how many non-emo records does Matt Pryor have to record before people stop using that term? I count at least seven. (Completely arbitrarily-picked number, by the way.) My personal favorites were "The Widow Paris," "Regent's Court," and "Tithe."
The Get Up Kids - Regent's Court
Beirut's third album is full of songs that are pretty and charming, mixing horns, strings, and Zach Condon's confident crooning. "East Harlem" was one of my absolute favorite songs of the year. "Goshen" is a gem, as well. The Rip Tide is one of those records that seems to have been underrated this year (including by me), and I'm willing to bet I'm going to enjoy when I really begin to appreciate it sometime in 2012.
25. Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other Clean
I wanted to make some joke about how I've been thinking about this album's title since January - you know, how kissing doesn't make you clean - but it's kind of vulgar and personal and my wife would likely divorce me. So, anyway...this isn't my favorite Iron & Wine record, but it's showing up here because I have a lady to please and she makes awesome meals and pays half our mortgage, so I feel like I shouldn't upset her by snubbing it. It's got some pretty good tunes on it, too, especially the first and last tracks.
Iron & Wine - Tree By the River
24. The Decemberists - The King is Dead
Colin Meloy has one of the most distinctive voices in music. There's no way you could hear him sing and not think, "That's a Decemberists tune." I'm not sure how that's relevant to The King is Dead, but...there ya go. The Decemberists stripped things down a bit on this one, opting for simpler song structures and more of a back-to-basics Americana feel. And it worked really well, especially on songs like "January Hymn," "Down By the Water," and "This is Why We Fight."
The Decemberists - Down By The Water
23. Bright Eyes - The People's Key
A seemingly overlooked album, The People's Key contained one of my favorite songs of the year, "Shell Games." There's always the December complaint among list-readers that list-writers tend to neglect stuff released in January and February, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here. It's like everybody forgot that Conner Oberst is indie rock's darling. I can almost imagine the guy as he's reading these lists, thinking, "Um, hello? In case you hadn't noticed, I put out a record this year."
Bright Eyes - Shell Games
22. J Mascis - Several Shades of Why
Along with the People's Key (above), Mascis' solo album was one of the great overlooked records of 2011. Almost entirely acoustic, Several Shades of Why showed a different side of the Dinosaur Jr. frontman. With lyrics that often speak of isolation and self-doubt, Mascis normally buries his voice beneath a wall of distortion. This time, the themes aren't so different, but Mascis' vocals were confidently front and center. "Is It Done" was one of my early and enduring favorites from the year.
21. The Far West - The Far West [self-titled]
The Far West made me excited about country music in 2011. Channeling the spirit and sound of "outlaw country" pioneers like Waylon Jennings and Townes Van Zandt, the Far West combines great storytelling with expert musicianship, bringing traditional country into the modern era. Like any great country act, the Far West weave gut-wrenching tales of love gone wrong, even on the upbeat numbers like "Bound to Lose" and "Nothing Like You."
20. The Whiskey Saints - 24 Hours
I was so pleasantly surprised by the Whiskey Saints this year. I said it my review, but every time I listen to this record, I'm struck by how its songs absolutely deserve to be on the radio, especially rockers like "Curtains" and "Before My Time," but also the more delicate ballads like "Karianne." Melding alt. country with raw garage rock, the Whiskey Saints provide a glimpse of where modern rock should be going.
The Whiskey Saints - Always In My Heart
The Dodos nailed that aggressive acoustic (or perhaps aggressively acoustic?) rock thing on No Color. Most of these songs are two guys, acoustic guitar, and forceful percussion. Neko Case shows up on a few tracks, but her influence is subtle. "When Will You Go" was in heavy rotation at Casa de Given and Taken in Ink for most of the year. "Don't Stop," "Companions," and "Black Night" are other highlights.
18. Alela Diane - Alela Diane & Wild Divine
Man, there are days when this album rockets up my personal list. Occupying the #18 spot seems far too low, and I'm sure when I inevitably re-write this list, as I did for 2010, its position is bound to improve. Diane's voice is arresting, and the storytelling is at times both forceful and delicate. This record is a treasure. There are so many great tracks, but I think "To Begin" and "Heartless Highway" are my favorites - today, at least. And beyond the music, it features the most visually captivating album cover of the year.
How could anyone resist a band whose album title name-checks a beloved 80s wrestling icon? CoCo Beware has little in common with the Birdman, but I still found it to be one of the most irresistable records of the year. As someone who loves re-arranging songs into playlists, I am a sucker for good sequencing, and Caveman has done such a great job making sure these songs interact with each other. A song like "Old Friend" functions just fine on its own, but when placed in context of the album, is greatly enhanced by the instrumental lead-in of the previous track ("Vampirer").
16. James Vincent McMorrow - Early in the Morning
I spend a lot of time on this blog teasing my wife for her complete disinterest in the stuff I write about, but she discovered James Vincent McMorrow on her own and introduced his music to me. I would not be surprised if she stumbled on Early in the Morning by doing Internet searches for bearded acoustic folk singers (it wouldn't be the first time...), but nevertheless, she found a really good one here.
James Vincent McMorrow - Sparrow And The Wolf
15. The Mountain Goats - All Eternals Deck
John Darnielle (who, for some reason, I feel should be named "Matt") is like an indie-folk mad scientist. All Eternals Deck is supposed to be his metal album, I guess, because it was produced by some guy who is well-known in metal circles. And because it has a black cover with a metal-y font. Raaawwwrrr!! (Tyrannosaurus Rexes are so metal, yeah?) Anyway, really good record. Start with "Never Quite Free" for the awesomeness.
The Mountain Goats - Never Quite Free
14. Robbers on High Street - Hey There Golden Hair
This is the album I've always wanted Robbers on High Street to make. Back when I reviewed the album in September, I wrote: "The band is full steam ahead, weaving keyboards, hand claps, a Hammond organ, and fantastic Daptone horn section into these dozen propulsive tunes. There's a sense of unbridled joy in the music, a side of the band only hinted at on "Electric Eye" (the teaser single released over a year ago). I never expected the guys to sustain that over an entire album, but Hey There Golden Hair never lets up. Hell, there's a triangle on this record. Yeah, triangle - an instrument which only the most badass of bands can handle."
Robbers on High Street - Monkey
13. Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
Remember 2004, when the country was deciding between voting for George W. Bush or John Kerry, and there were all those stupid polls asking "Who Would You Rather Have a Beer With," and nobody answered The Guy Who's Less Likely to Fuck Up the Country? Well, I would like to have a beer with Dave Grohl. He seems like a fun dude. And I could stroke his hair while he sang "Walking After You" softly to me....whaaaa?! I mean, we'd watch football or some shit like that and have burping contests. And I could tell him how "Walk" is possibly the best song he's ever written.
12. Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost
The great thing about Father, Son, Holy Ghost is the way in which it evokes the warm familiarity of great classic rock while still managing to sound new and captivating. As I said in my review, "You'll feel like you've heard all these songs before, but in the sublime way an old song comes on the radio and makes you remember a time you were truly happy. And that's the masterstroke Girls have played with this record: These are bittersweet songs that will still make you smile."
11. Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring For My Halo
Aren't stoners supposed to be bad at stuff? That's what my 80s upbringing taught me: Don't Do Drugs, Kids, Or Else You'll Be Bad at Stuff. If so, then I ask: How does Smoke Ring for My Halo exist? Vile may wrap his songs in a slacker aesthetic, but it's a feint - the guy is a master songwriter and composer. And he's just so damn good at finding charming ways to be dreary, like "I get sick of just about everyone / And I hide in my baby's arms."
Kurt Vile - Baby's Arms
10. Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Justin, be careful. For some reason you are walking a fine line between Folk Disciple and Cool to Hate-On. I don't know why. Probably for "Beth/Rest." I'm just saying. Lay off the auto-tune and 80s tricks for a bit and I think you'll be fine. And don't call Record #3 Bon Iver, Bon Iver, Bon Iver...or BI3...or whatever crazy idea you're dreaming up. Trust me, dude. I'm still not sure whether your second record is called Bon Iver or Bon Iver, Bon Iver, and that's a problem. Moreso for me than it is for you, but whatever. BI2 was a great step forward for you, and I probably should be spending more time talking about that and less about how many times I have to write your pen name.
I was afraid of this record. I was so afraid I waited for it to go on sale at Amazon.com for like $2.99 or something. And wouldn't you know, I fell in love with the damn thing. So now all I have are some fucking mp3's and no liner notes and no album art. And I love liner notes and album art. Well, not so much anymore. Now I just throw the CDs on my handy-dandy CD rack. But when I was a kid I loved liner notes and album art. And I would like them for Collapse Into Now. It's R.E.M.'s best album since Automatic for the People. The band did a really nice job making something new and interesting (I can't really think of any old R.E.M. album which sounds quite like it), which has got to be tough at the end of its career. The album is muscular without being heavy, if that makes any sense. "Uberlin" and "Mine Smell Like Honey" are probably the most radio-friendly and/or catchiest, but for whatever reason I kept getting drawn back to "Oh My Heart." The vocals on this record are really great; just when you think a song like "It Happened Today" is going to fall into the stereotypical Stipe talk-sing, the band surprises with a transcendent, layered woah-a-ooh outro. "Mine Smell Like Honey" overcomes its title to turn in the best R.E.M. hook the band has written in years.
8. The War on Drugs - Slave Ambient
Slave Ambient is a bit of an enigma. Album-opener "Best Night" emerges almost out of nowhere, with layered guitars over a vocal track that almost tries to go unnoticed. And yet, somehow, the track is absolutely infectious. This is not an album to put on in the background and expect that the best songs will jump out and grab you. Adam Granduciel & Co. seem content to be overlooked; but how unfortunate for anyone who complies. Paying attention...I mean, really paying attention...reveals Slave Ambient for what it truly is: a masterpiece.
Hobbled by a near career-ending disability (Ménière's disease, an inner-ear disorder), there was a very real possibility that Ryan Adams would never be able to make music again. Selfishly, I hoped he would still be able to write some quiet, acoustic tunes - something that would allow him to keep filling the world with his knack for songwriting without crippling him. And he's been able to do that here, with great results. Ashes & Fire is the calmest, most reserved collection of songs Adams has released, but it's his best work in years.
There's a prettiness to Burst Apart that is nearly unmatched by any other record released in 2011. I wrote a lot of words about this record's cover and my guesses on the meaning behind the word "burst," but none of that was meant to detract from the sonic beauty that begins with "I Don't Want Love" and continues all the way the final notes of "Putting the Dog to Sleep." There's a definite thematic progression on this record, which opens with the desire to push people away and eventually concludes with restrained hope for connection with others ("I'm not gonna die alone / I don't think so").
The Antlers - Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out
God damn the Black Keys are good at what they do. For a split second, I remember thinking, "Ah, fuck. This is going to be a re-hash of Brothers. Another band finds 'the formula' and now it's all over." But that couldn't be further from the truth. The thing about El Camino, especially if you like this kind of music, is that it's just going to make you happy. You will be cruising in the car, grinning like an idiot, because these guys just know how to rock out.
Oh, Yuck. I wanted you to be #1. I tell everybody about you and how much I love you. And you were so close. But the second half of 2011 was just titanic for music. And I can't be with you anymore. Well, I mean, I can. But you can't be my #1 Main Squeeze anymore. I'm sorry about that. I still love you, like bigtime. We can still hook up on the side, right? You were there for me at a time when I really needed you, and I won't ever forget you.
3. Radical Face - The Family Tree: The Roots
Radical Face came out of nowhere and blew me away this year. The Roots is both heartbreaking and beautiful, a triumph of storytelling that follows the lives of a fictional family in the 1800s. First of a three-part series of albums, I cannot wait to see where Ben Cooper goes with the second and third volumes. But even without the backstory, Cooper has pulled off something truly inspiring here.
2. Laura Marling - A Creature I Don't Know
In an interview with the Guardian, Ryan Adams talked about how Laura Marling's previous record, I Speak Because I Can, inspired him to throw out a large portion of what he was working on, before finally writing and recording Ashes & Fire. That must be immensely gratifying for Marling, who is all of 21 years old. I still can't get over this woman's age; these songs, these lyrics, that voice - they're just not the product of someone so young. And here she is, three albums into her career, already penning records that other artists would kill for.
Ultimately, what makes a great album is great songs, and the Whole Love has great songs in spades. Wilco nailed every aspect that makes them a great band - catchy pop songs, weird experimental slowburners, poignant ballads - and found a way to make them all fit together in a seamless whole. It's not the most unusual or genre-defying record the band has done, but it's eminently listenable and a joy to hear. In many ways, this is my favorite Wilco record, and without a doubt my pick for Album of the Year.

If a two-thirds (2/3) quorum exists and a motion for adoption of the amendment is adopted by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the entire board, the Board shall submit the Bylaw changes to the NSCA membership for a vote.Section 3: Any changes to the Bylaws of the NSCA, whether that change be a clarification, addition, deletion, or substitution, must be ratified by a majority vote of the NSCA membership voting, before said change is accepted and entered into the active Bylaws of the NSCA and shall immediately be in full force and effect.
Adopted on January 4, 2008, the NSCA's Code of Conduct sets the highest standards for its staff and volunteers to uphold NSCA values and maintain public confidence.
Those who choose to serve NSCA, whether as volunteers or as paid staff, are held to the highest standards of conduct, and they must do so without personal gain, must avoid any institutional loss or embarrassment, and must behave in such a way that NSCA's trust and public confidence are enhanced. The members of NSCA's Board of Directors, officers, and members of committees owe to NSCA the same duties of care and loyalty as are owed by directors of nonprofit corporations organized under the laws of the State of Colorado. Specifically, each such person shall discharge his or her duties (a) in good faith; (b) with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and (c) in a manner that they reasonably believe to be in the best interests of NSCA.
This Code of Conduct establishes minimum standards of acceptable conduct. It should be read and complied with by every NSCA volunteer and employee. For this purpose, the term "volunteer" includes the members of NSCA's Board of Directors, officers, and members of every NSCA committee (including the NSCA Certification Commission Executive Council), and the term "staff" includes all employees of NSCA (including the NSCA Certification Commission). This Code of Ethics provides a framework of integrity for interactions with or on behalf of NSCA. Accordingly, volunteers and staff shall comply with the following:
Any violation of this Code of Conduct will subject the person to the jurisdiction of the NSCA Ethics Committee and the processing of any violation under the procedures of the NSCA Code of Ethics, as such may be amended from time-to-time; provided, however, that this will not preclude any action (i) under the NSCA Bylaws or applicable law for removal of a director or officer or (ii) for discipline or termination of an employee of the NSCA under applicable policies or procedures of the NSCA or applicable policies or procedures of the NSA or applicable law.
Adopted January 4, 2008, the NSCA's Code of Ethics sets the standards of behavior for the strength training, conditioning and personal training professions.
The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) is committed to the principles of ethical behavior that shall be followed by all members. The Code of Ethics is intended to establish and maintain high standards and professionalism for the strength training, conditioning, and personal training professionals. It is also intended to enhance the effectiveness of our organization in supporting its mission. Members are expected to adhere to these standards of integrity and honesty, encourage ethical behavior and report unethical behavior among the membership. The principles are written generally and do not address every situation encountered by the strength training, conditioning, and personal training professional. The circumstances of a situation will determine the interpretation and application of a given principle as it relates to the Code of Ethics. When a conflict exists between the Code of Ethics and the law, the law prevails.
Principle 1:
Principle 2:
Principle 3:
Principle 4:
Any person who holds a valid membership in the NSCA, and was an active member at the time of the alleged incident, may make complaint alleging an ethics violation. Complaints must be filed with a member of the Board of Directors or NSCA Executive Director. Information supporting the allegation must be specific and provide as much documentation as possible. Once submitted all complaints will be evaluated by the Ethics Committee and the pre-established procedures will be followed.
The NSCA has the inherent power and duty to prescribe standards of conduct for its membership; to determine what constitutes grounds for the discipline of members; and to impose discipline upon any member whose failure to comply with the Code of Ethics of the NSCA has been established. The discipline of members is for the protection of the public, the profession, and the maintenance of the standards and principles of the NSCA.
The following definitions shall apply wherever used in the Code of Ethics:
NSCA: National Strength and Conditioning Association

Today I am thrilled to be joined by America's most important thinker, Malcolm Gladwell, who writes for The New Yorker and will soon publish his fourth book, Hey!. Today, Gladwell talks to us about his new book, elections in Afghanistan, Health Care, and state of the American economy.
IOZ: Mr. Gladwell, thank you for joining us.
MG: Thank you.
IOZ: Malcolm, what is your new book about?
MG: Well, IOZ, it's about how when you call across a room, street, or open outdoor area to someone who hasn't previously noticed you, they will hear you and become aware of your presence. This is really a remarkable phenomenon, but much of the newest research has yet to be written about for a general audience. I got the idea one day when I was in Manhattan. I was on Bleeker, and suddenly someone called, "Hey!" Before that, I hadn't known he was there. Afterward, I did. So I started to ask myself, what goes on in that moment. What is the real story there? In a broader sense, it is a book about what it means to be human.
IOZ: Heady stuff, no doubt. But Malcolm, won't some people say, oh, that is just glib repackaging of a totally banal and widely appreciated fundamental of everyday, lived experience?
MG: They might, but they would be misunderstanding the central idea of the book. You see, this isn't a story that's been told before. It isn't about hearing, or voice recognition, or the habits of human public interaction. Those stories have been told before. This is really a story about an idea.
IOZ: Do stories and ideas mix, Malcolm?
MG: Not usually, IOZ. They are like oil and vinegar. So I try to think of my writing like the mustard that emulsifies the oil and vinegar into a salad dressing.
IOZ: I think I understand. So would you say that the story is the oil and the idea the vinegar, or vice versa?
MG: You may be taking the metaphor too literally. Instead of thinking about oil and vinegar, think about chocolate and peanut butter.
IOZ: Which . . . go together!
MG: Exactly.
IOZ: You certainly think outside the tipping point, Malcolm. How does your concept affect the Health Care debate in America.
MG: I thought a lot about Health Care while writing this book. The argument seemed to me to center on a few fixed ideas, such as whether or not health care is a commodity or a basic right, or who ultimately bears the responsibility for paying for care, or if the goal should be the best care regardless of cost or a fuller balancing of the necessity of treatment against the expense of providing it. Somehow, it struck me as very limited. And so I began to think about Health Care not as the treatment of sick people or the maintenance of minimum standards of public wellness, but instead as an idea that ultimately speaks to who we are as a species.
IOZ: Who are we as a species, Malcolm Gladwell?
MG: Actually, IOZ, that will be my next, next book.
IOZ: In the works?
MG: In the works.
IOZ: What can you tell us about it?
MG: Not much yet. The working title is: Humanity: the Human Species.
IOZ: Intriguing. How would you rate President Obama's handling of the economy?
MG: I am less interested in the way the President has handled the economy than I am in what the President's handling of the economy says about the human mind within the context of the President's handling of the economy. It is a story about how the decisions we make affect the decisions he makes regarding the decisions we make, and that is ultimately a story about what it means to be human.
IOZ: What does it mean to be human, Malcolm Gladwell?
MG: Being human is unquestionably a state of being, IOZ. What is a state of being? It is a story, which has a beginning, a middle, and an end. What are beginnings, middles, and ends? They're locations. And what is a location? It is a place.
IOZ: That is exactly the sort of counterintuitive thinking that has made you such a provocative thinker and author. Final question: what should we think about the elections in Afghanistan?
MG: We should definitely think about them, IOZ. That is not the position we naturally arrive at, but when we go beyond the conventional wisdom and "common sense," it is the only conclusion.
IOZ: Thank you, Malcolm Gladwell. Malcolm Gladwell's new book is Hey!: You Over There, and Where It Comes From.

Make it stop.

My first reaction: to Google to see whether Gladwell has just published a book "Hey!"
My second response: agreed, although I did enjoy his broadside a while back against FBI profilers. I'd say it takes a charlatan to spot one, but that isn't really true. - 6:08 PM
- fafnir said...
I have already pre-ordered Hey!, along with Things: A History of Stuff.
- LP Steve said...
Great interview. Gladwell has never been more lucid. You really drew him out!
- Anonymous said...
This clown stole my idea, and I have contacted an attorney. btw, does God have liability insurance?
- Thurston Unger said...
Absolutely delightful, esp the first half.
- TGGP said...
When it's translated into English, it will be titled "Oi!".
- mistah charley, ph.d. said...
You didn't mention that Gladwell is Colin Powell's cousin.
- P. Curtin said...
Laugh if you must, but I eagerly await Mr. Gladwell's next tome on the coming tipping point of peak belly-button lint...

When you happen to be considering the invest in of a Non-Warrantable condominium, the main consideration would be it's future value, since later around the value will raise as the units become warrantable condo models. This will more than offset the slightly greater interest rate of your initial obtain.
If that you are thinking of purchasing a Non-Warrantable condo, the minimum that you need to expect to have a greater interest rate. This is true since lenders will look at these condos to become more risky, and thus boost the curiosity rate accordingly as the market requires them to cover their perceived risk costs .
Depending around the loan program you select, be prepared to have a down payment on the residence. Some lenders will not offer 100% financing on non-warrantable condos.
Like non-warrantable condos, condotels cannot be financed through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and, far more frequently than not, condotel buyers have found themselves up a creek; ready to close but unable to find financing.
Thankfully, mortgage money is emerging for condotels and non-warrantables.
Here's what we will NOT do!!
The below items will hard stop the approval of the questionnaire :
Unfinished project ( phase complete is ok ) including common areas.
Structural or environmental issues.
Pending litigation.
Inadequate insurance.
Very limited or no established HOA reserves if turn over from the builder.
Over the last few weeks, a choice group of small banks and investment vehicles have toed the water a bit and re-opened the marketplace for non-warrantable and condotel mortgages. Rates run about a half-percent greater than a comparable conventional mortgages and the minimum down payment starts at 25 percent.
Beyond that, however, obtaining an approval is simple.
1. Prove your income two. Prove your assets three. Prove your credit score
That's it. Now, you will find some creating considerations, as well, but they're not nearly as tough as what Fannie or Freddie will throw at you. And they're more geared toward making sure the building is well-constructed and properly insured.
Any reputable condo or condotel is going to pass those two tests.
And even better -- simply because approvals are being handled by small lenders and not Big Banks, loan approval times are decidedly quick. It is common to close on a condotel or non-warrantable condo in less than 30 days.

good points, but my main thing is this wr core hasn't even played a regular season game so how can people start talking about how its the best we have had in years, and I still don't think schilens makes the team and if he does he won't even play half the season. We really need another wr option to play it safe. Holmes needs someone oppostie from him, he does not play great in double coverage as you saw last year. Hopefully hill can step up, but he is a rookie, and to add to that a rookie that caught less than 50 balls in college.
I hope they are better, and I know its early in camp but I just don't see it as even close at this point
