- Coffee = the complete works of The Smiths or NPR. I'm sure many would agree.
- But espresso says Scott Walker or Françoise Hardy.
- Black cherries or black raspberries - My Bloody Valentine (especially the album Loveless)
- Thai green curry with tofu - Bjork. Complicated tastes for a complex musician. Try with Medulla or the Drawing Restraint 9 soundtrack.
- Guacamole, chips and salsa with the Cambodian/psychedelic pop of Dengue Fever(especially the self-titled album) or Ethiopian jazz of Mulatu Astatke makes me think of a garden party in the San Francisco Bay area in springtime.
- A nice strong chai tea says "podcast" to me- perhaps Dan Carlin's Hardcore History or the Infinite Monkey Cage.
- Oatmeal and bananas also says NPR. More morning staples.
- Ah memories. Lexington barbecue from the southeast will always make me think of The Pixies.
- PBR and cigarettes- my brother's band Autopassion and his other musical ventures.
- A nice bottle of Argentine Malbec might pair well with Radiohead.

If Music Be the Love of Food
In response to Christopher Joseph Westgate's essay Semiotic Sound Bites, I have compiled a brief list of pairings of food and music (not so much particular songs, but rather musicians and bands) that seem to fit nicely together. Some food conjures the music and some the reverse is true. Hopefully this sonic palette will surely please the taste buds.
