Two Favorite Blogs



1: The Great Taco Hunt

The Great Taco Hunt was one of the first food blogs that Plottie faithfully followed. It was Bandini's quest to sample every taco truck (and most taquerias) in Stiletto City, including all the outlying areas, like East Stiletto, Stillington Park and the San Stiletto Valley. The scope of this task boggles the mind and rumbles the tripas.

Then, after blogging several times a week (and presumably sampling even more places than he could write about), Bandini disappeared. No more postings, no more three taco-orders, no more photos, no news whatsoever. Plotnik, like most of Bandini's fans, assumed the worst: Cancer of the Taco.

But he's back! -- if only for one day. Or maybe more. We can hope. Check out this link to one of Plotnik's favorite postings: access here, and ask for extra salsa.



2. Undercover Black Man

Undercover Black Man is a blog that Plotnik learned about from The Great PD. It's usually about music more than politics, wonderful graphic of Reverend Me Me Me notwithstanding. Check out the link below -- Plot is sure that many of you will enjoy this posting about black covers of psychedelic-era hit songs. Plotnik truly hates nostalgia music, almost all the time, but these covers take the songs places they deserve to go. Above all, check out Eddie Hazel's "California Dreaming" right here, but turn your speakers up first.

This man can play! Thanks, Undercover.

Taco trucks RULE!

And I'm always amazed at how musicians can take a song and reinterpret it into something totally different (and often better). There is cool stuff on this site. No country version of Inna Gadda Da Vita though...
