The restaurant was pan-Asian so we ended up getting a ton of random things. I personally had:
gyozaHot and sour soupAn exotic-sounding chicken dish that turned out to be a fancy version of General Gau'sAnother awesome chicken dish in coconut milkThe first bloody Mary I have ever LIKEDa huge scorpion bowlAnother spicy mango drink Kung pao lambSpicy tuna makiMacallan 12A glass of some south African chenin blancA really good rice dish
There were like 8 of us? Lots of good times.

you guys, the new Schoolboy Q mixtape is on Spotify now
http://open.spotify.com/album/2XA9ImMQL9h3nFUMkHLL38
This dude was a late 2011 revelation to me, between him and Kendrick Lamar it gives me faith that there are still ppl out there in hip-hop who aren't wholesale Drake-esque embarrassments and that makes me super super happy

Here's some more to listen to"
http://open.spotify.com/user/djperry1973/playlist/2c5J6cInjUXV647UzhXZbS
My favorite albums of 2011. A quick rundown:
Lamb - 5Old school trip-n-bass comes roaring back like a subdued Portishead, remaining as wonderful as they did in their heyday. Standouts: "Butterfly Effect", "Build A Fire", "She Walks"
PJ Harvey - Let England ShakeFragile, emotional renderings of the impact of WWII on England, sung in a revelatory manner more reminiscent of Kate Bush than "Sheela-Na-Gig". Standouts: "The Words That Maketh Murder", "On Battleship Hill"
The Mountain Goats - All Eternals DeckDuh. Standouts: "Damn These Vampires", "Age Of Kings", "High Hawk Season" (duh*2)
Florence + The Machine - CeremonialsThis fucking woman ruined what is probably the best goth-pop album released this year by releasing a fucking racist video. It's super infuriating because this album is great. Never buy it.Standouts: "What The Water Gave Me", "Remain Nameless", "No Light, No Light" <-- this is the racist video
Austra - Feel It BreakBuy this instead of Florence. It's basically the same voice over moody electronics and without the racist videos.Standouts: "Beat and the Pulse", "Hate Crime" (irony!)
Beyonce - 4Despite being largely about how Beyonce can't exist without a man, this is an astonishing sounding album. B has never sounded better and a bunch of the songs are super bonkers. People will tell you the bonus tracks are the real stars; these people are high.Standouts: "End of Time", "I Care", "I Miss You", "Countdown"
Lone - Echolocations EPomg it's 1993 again and I'm raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavingStandouts: "Explorers", "Rapid Racer"
M83 - Hurry up, We're DreamingYes it's an extended John Hughes soundtrack/Tears for Fears meets Simple Minds pastiche; this is precisely what makes it so fucking awesome.Standouts: "Midnight City", "OK Pal", "Claudia Lewis"
Planningtorock - WSpecifically for those times when you think "you know what, Fever Ray is too commercial for me"Standouts: "Doorway", "I Am Your Man", "The Breaks"
Del The Funky Homosapien - Golden EraYes I like old dudes who were releasing albums when we were in college, sue meStandouts: "Calculate", "Double Barrel"
Kanye & Jay-Z - Watch The ThroneAt some point, this went from being a pleasant diversion to the strongest affirmation of black achievement I listened to all year. Kanye is still iffy but Jay sounds better than he has in YEARS.Standouts: "No Church In The Wild", "Ni**as In Paris", "Murder To Excellence", "Who Gon Stop Me"
When Saints Go Machine - KonkylieImagine if Antony and the Johnsons weren't fucking horrible and massively irritating and you've got this. Similar voice, VASTLY more interesting songs.Standouts: "Konkylie", "Church and Law", "The Same Scissors", "Adds End"
Emika - EmikaMore moody female-fronted synth-pop. Very intense at times.Standouts: "Professional Loving", "Pretend"
Kate Wax - Dust CollisionMostly for one song, but oh my god that song!Standout: "Human Twin"
Schoolboy Q - SetbacksI had no idea that mixtape blog rappers were doing anything that wasn't utter bullshit before stumbling across this. Apparently their whole collective (Black Hippy) is amazing.Standouts: "Figg Get Da Money", "Light Years Ahead", "Fantasy"
Kendrick Lamar - Section.80Another Black Hippy dude I discovered late last year. Holy shit. Keep an eye on this dude, he is NEXT LEVEL.Standouts: "A.D.H.D.", "Tammy's Song (Her Evils)", "Keisha's Song (Her Pain)", "Rigamortus"
Shabazz Palaces - Black UpDoodlebug from Digable Planets resurfaces as a paranoid nightmare. Fucking unbelievable; you will never hear "Cool Like That" the same way again.Standouts: "free press and curl", "An echo from the hosts that profess infinitum", "yeah you"
Rihanna - Talk That TalkI don't know if Rihanna has ever sounded as comfortable with ridiculously dirty songs as she does here. Also, the candy pop songs are extra sparkly. Also, one song is built off of the best track on the XX album.Standouts: "We Found Love", "Cockiness (Love It)", "Birthday Cake", "Drunk On Love"
Invisible Conga People - Invisible Conga People EPI just discovered this and it's fucking beautiful. Not gonna bother listing standouts because it's two songs and two remixes but it's AMAZING.

Stop being so dedicated to outpacing me in keeping up with new music, people.
Apparently I am moving in the opposite direction, having discovered The Supremes "I Hear a Symphony" album on Spotify. One of the first records I remember, and certainly my introduction to music that was neither country or Christmas songs.
