5 Questions with Kate Vargas

Kate Vargas's song " If you love me" is in rotation on the site. 

1. What are 3 words that describe your music?

Organic and gritty, but tasty (I hope!).

2. Do you write your own music? If so, what inspires you?

I do write my own music.  I'm sometimes surprised by what inspires me.  Occasionally it's a big feeling or event in my life, but more often it's a few words I hear on the subway or an interaction between two people that I'm moved by and able to weave into a story.

3. What do you like to snack on while writing or working on music?

I need a stupid amount of diet soda when I sit down to write.  I'm working on that, but my newest favorite snack is sesame honey cashews and dried green mango from Trader Joe's.  Mix the two together and I'm good to go. Very inspirational!

4. What is one food you cannot resist?

I'm a sweets person. I need something really sweet during my day or else I get grumpy.  Chocolate always does the trick.

5. Where can we find and download your music?

I also have a free download available at http://katevargas.bandcamp.com/track/the-music-2.

Ramzi's song "Crazy about you" is in rotation on the site. 

1. What are 3 words that describe your music?

Acoustic folk-rock 

2. Do you write your own music? If so, what inspires you?

 Yes I write my own music.  I'm very inspired by relationships and love...how it makes us feel, how it makes us act, the power one person can have over another.  Though lately I've also been inspired by the world around me, and how great life can be and how we're all connected.

3. What do you like to snack on while writing or working on music?

Well playing the guitar makes it a little hard to snack while playing...but cheese and crackers seem to always be around, so I'm sure I've had some while writing lyrics.

4. What is one food you cannot resist?

Peanut butter!

Food Gossip

Chi Chi Chi Chia! Remember Chia pets? Well, Chia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and minerals ALLEGEDLY. They are higher in protein than quinoa. Crazy huh?

Edible food packaging? Really? A new type of food packaging has been invented that can be eaten right along with the food product inside. I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Doesn't the packaging have to be inside of another package so germs doesn't get on it so we can eat it? Defeats the purpose.

Test tube hamburgers? Scientists are really pushing it now!

Will anyone be frequenting " The Clink" a new restaurant...inside of the Cardiff Prison? It will be run by prisoners.  It will be an all organic upscale dining experience.

Starbucks has opened their first ski-thru on a mountain in Cali. Grab a frappe on skis!

Mcdonalds in France will be launching Mcbaguettes. That sounds great! Wish it was in the U.S

Middle school students in Texas boycott the school lunch. About time!
