So apparently I am way behind on jumping on this bandwagon, but somehow I had managed to never visit Magnolia Bakery on Bleecker Street until this weekend. Oh. My. God. I really think that might be the best street corner in all of New York -- cupcakes and Marc by Marc Jacobs? Yes, please. Either way, if you haven't been there either, I seriously recommend. You can only get a dozen cupcakes at a time, but they're only $2 each and you basically go in there and fill up your own little box, and then probably just walk across the street to the park to eat them there. The red velvet ones were my personal favourite.
ANYHOW. Enough about cupcakes, even though I'm definitely sitting here in the office looking out the window at the Empire State Building dreaming about them... This week it seems like we're all about Colin Munroe here. He's worked in the past as a producer for a lot of hip-hop acts and is actually kind of a big deal there, but his solo stuff is much more what you'd expect from a lanky white guy, which is to say much more indie pop-rock. A few months ago he made a pretty rad stop-motion video for his song "World of Pain" (check that out here at the Frontside YouTube) and his solo album "Don't Think Less of Me" comes out this spring, but he hasn't abandoned his love of hip-hop. In fact, he just came out with his own version of Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" -- pretty cool, if you ask me, and his indie-boy vocals work suprisingly well with Kanye's beats and orchestration. Download it for free below.... and the video soon to come!
